Firstly, it's not a good idea to be sending mixed messages to this girl. One minute you're telling her that you don't have romantic feelings toward her, then the next minute, you're telling her that you do have romantic feelings for her. Think about it: If you were in her shoes, and she was telling you that she didn't feel the same way about you, then all the sudden, she finds you crying, or in most cases, getting aggravated, then wouldn't it upset you to be receiving mixed signals from her? Of course! The issue here is that it's always good to be honest! Especially, in matters of the heart. In this case, you need to be honest and forthright with her. In as a nice and polite way as you can, you need to tell her that you honestly don't have romantic feelings for her as she does you and in turn, explain to her that you had felt bad because you saw her crying, and that's why you told her how you felt. Bottom line: NEVER send mixed messages to girls beecause that's only confusing them and it only makes a bad situation worse. I hope this helps and let everyone know how it went!

Bad move! You should never play with someone's emotions that way. While you feel your making her feel better, in the long run, their will be some great pain when she realizes the truth. Be true to your feelings and hers. After all, you are friends. You can have a close, loving friendship without it being a more than friends relationship. If your friendship is true she will understand and accept this. Whether it is a friendship or a relationship it is all about love.

Tell her you only wanted to help her feel better, and you don't like her as more than a friend. (I've had someone confess strong feelings for me, but instead of saying I didn't feel the same, I didn't say anything at all. Keeping your mouth shut is your best bet.) The truth may be harsh, and it may hurt, but it really will set you free. If you really don't want to see her hurt like that, you could try to lessen the blow by suggesting she give it more time or letting her know what she could try to do so you like her better.

The best bet is to be completely honest with her. I would talk to her as soon as you can and tell her that you have been friends for a long time and it hurt you to see her crying. You care about her a lot and you do not want her to feel that way. I know it is so hard for boys to tell girls the real truth in this case, but its important if you want to stay friends. You need to tell her that you do not see it working and it would ruin the friendship. Do NOT leave any hope for the future or she will wait for you. That is not fair to her. Do not say anything to the effect of "maybe one day.." This is VITAL. She will never get back to seeing you just as a friend if you leave her some hope that it might work eventually. (EVEN if you think that may be the case- it is not right to let her wait for you on a whim of some future feelings). It will hurt her and she may not be able to act normal around you for a bit, but if you are honest with her, there is a chance your friendship will survive this. Give her some time to set her heart right again, and stay friendly and positive. Need more advice? Check out my new blog: schoolformen.blogspot.com -Sophia
