QuestionWhat do I do if my friend is helplessly in love with me but I like someone else instead?Karley SnyderCommunity AnswerKnow that it's okay if you don't like your friend. You can't force who you like and dislike. However, consider if you are flirty or if you are leading on your friend at all, and be sure not to do this. Keep your interactions friendly.

QuestionIf my best friend has a crush on me and I don't want to be friends with them, can I have my friends confront them if I am too shy?Karley SnyderCommunity AnswerWhile your friends can help you with this, it is best to tell your friend how you truly feel yourself. Who knows, by telling them how you feel, they may get the hint and just want to be your friend. This way, you can be honest and open with each other. However, if your mind is made up and you don't want to be friends with them, that's okay too.

QuestionWhat do I do if I am a lesbian and I know that a male likes me?Karley SnyderCommunity AnswerHow you handle the situation partly depends on who the person is. If you are close enough to them that you are comfortable mentioning your sexuality, you can simply say, "I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in men."
