I really consider them a v good friend. and care a lot about them. I dont want to get into anything with them. I dont want to loose the friendship. and more importantly I dont want them to know what kind of person I am in a relationship. I suspect they are crushing on their own idea of me rather than actual me. How do I let them down easy? They are also going through other difficult phase in their life.
This is a very practical question. Happens more often than not. I don't know the correct approach but taking short breaks helps with the mindfucks.
Give some distance, don't hint them. If they want to be your friend they'll know. If they insist on a relationship then the friendship also might not worth keeping after all.
If they don’t want to be just v good friends, then that’s ok. You can’t force people to just be friends if they want more. It’s better to make that clear and split apart if necessary than to continue dangling them along and try to let them down easy. Or maybe they will take it well and agree to just be v good friends.
Agree! Being honest and explaining to them the above might help them better understand where you are coming from.
I don’t think they have any problems being friends. I suspect that the awkwardness of crush might sour things either way. Weather I acknowledge it or I don’t.
You fo real? I thought you’re one if the strongest ones here
What’s weak about being vulnerable?
Just tell’em to fcuk off
Them? How many friends are you talking about? But then I read “a friend” in the title..... now I am confused. 😐
Why they.? How many?
Nonbinary is crushing on her. Clearly her. A man would never have an issue with being a crushee
She's talking about a guy. Especially with the let him down easy bs.
Crushing you with their weight?
I like how you are thoughtful about pronouns. Where's your TC badge?
Love the spelling of "loose" too
