A female , *ulu writes:

hi, I am an 18 year old girl and mainly have male friends. I do prefer male company as I tend to argue with girls. I have been friends with a group of males for a few years now! However I dated one of them for 1 year, it did end well but he still gets jealous of me although he's dating again. The problem is my friends tell me that they have feelings for me. However they tend to ask my ex what he thinks of me and them dating. Although I dont feel sexually attracted to any of them how can I stop them asking my ex for permission and can we stay friends without letting their feelings take over and ruin our friendships? Please help!

I understand what you mean about the male companionship, I was always the same, and I had the same problems as you when it came to my friends wanting to date me. You need to explain to your friends that you only want to be friends with them. Nothing else. It don't sound like they understand that because they are asking your ex what he thinks of you and them dating. Sounds like they think they stand a chance of dating you. Clear the air with them. Make sure they understand you cherish their friendship but that is as far as you want it to go. Then they will stop asking your ex because they will understand there is no way you want to go out with them except in friendship.

Hope this helps...
