If you know someone has a serious crush on you, do you think it's better to tell them the feelings aren't reciprocated or just let them wonder? Which is the right thing to do?

tell them the truth in a tactful way.

Tell them the truth. Be tactful-yes, but FIRM. If this person is close to you as a friend, they will be holding out hope that you're "Just not there yet" if you aren't solid in your explaination. Trust me- I've been on both sides.

Don't let them wonder. It can be quite damaging later on, and I don't think you want someone to go from liking you to thinking very badly of you. That sucks.

seriously - you know the answer to this - you shouldn't have to ask us - you know you should tell him if you don't like him! come on!

well i hope you arent leading them on for one. Also if it was a "serious" crush then i would say something. If you heard someone liked you and you didnt like them back i wouldnt worry about it.

Honesty is always best, but be gentle. You don't have to crush them totally.....unless they don't get the message the first time then be as blunt and obvious as you feel necessary to let them know in no uncertain terms that you are in no way interested in them in that capacity.

I'd say a good way to soften the blow is to make a point of saying you're flattered, but then make it clear that you don't have the same feelings for them. Like everyone else here says-- Be Firm! Don't say "there might be a chance someday" or anything like that.

I think it's petter to tell the other person the truth. What's worse? Knowing the truth or being lead on? Think about it.

hello? every girl I've ever known? I knew you'd be here eventually.

i think its better if u tell that person the way ur really feeling cuz if u dont the person could build up hopes cuz ur not telling either if u like the person or not.

If someone box your right ear then turn your left! Holly scriptures say so!
