I asked out a friend and she said no, now things are awkward. How do I make things cool between us again?
Things are going to be a little bit awkward for a while. The best thing you can do is say “Hey, it’s okay that you said no, I don’t want things to be awkward between us,” and see what she says. The second best thing you can do is express interest in someone else. I’ve been in a lot of situations where I will avoid someone who likes me if I don’t like them back, but once that person says “Oh, this girl I met is so great” or “I really like this girl”, it completely will lift the pressure off my shoulders and I’m more comfortable.Give her space for now, and see where things go! Good luck!
Told my friend I have feelings for her, now it's awkward?
I recently developed feelings for one of my best friends. I'm 15, she's 16, I'm a sophomore, she's a junior. I told her flat out almost immediately because I didn't want to be tempted to take advantage of my closeness with her (we used to pretend-flirt and cuddle all the time), and I told her that preserving our friendship is more important to me than starting a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with her. So we agreed that it wouldn't come between us and we wouldn't let it get awkward, but it has. We still joke around sometimes when we have classes together, but not as much as we used to. There's a rift between us that wasn't there before. Part of it is I feel like I need to give her some space, but she doesnt bring up any of our inside jokes anymore and I don't think she trusts me like she used to. Why is it so awkward now, and will the awkwardness go away? How can I make it go away faster? I don't really want to be frank with her about it, so how should I act around her? A girl's opinion would be nice here. Thanks:)
How do I remove the awkwardness that follows after telling a girl you like her?
Tease her. Make a little fun of her. Show her your world will not come crashing down if your feelings are not reciprocated. The awkwardness is a result of the heaviness and serious atmosphere after sharing your feelings. Lighten up the mood. Adopt a take it or leave it attitude. Usually women are afraid to hurt you after you tell them you are ‘invested’ in them. Take her concerns away by having fun and teasing her. Show her potential rejection will not destroy. That’s what she’s afraid of, so take that fear away. Give her some space to figure out what she thinks. Women usually discover the feeling is mutual AFTER you leave them time to think.Congratulations for telling her, that takes courage!
Will my feelings for my best friend go away with time?
I have gone through a similar situation with my best friend.He’d had feelings for me since we met, but I never saw him as more than a friend. So when I found out through friends that he liked me, I was a little shocked.I talked to him and said that I just saw him as a friend, and he knew that I liked another person, which is why he hadn’t told me before.Now you may be asking, what was going through my mind when he admitted that he liked me?My answer: I still loved him for being such a great friend.So you have to think about this one. If you just wait for the feelings to die down, they will go away completely, and you will always have that “What if?” feeling.If you are truly best friends with this person, even if he/she doesn’t like you back, they will still want to be your friend. If they don’t like you back, then accept it and don’t push them too much (for example telling them that you really love them, etc over and over until they get annoyed and don’t want to be your friend anymore.)However, if you decide to tell them, be 100% sure that you believe that the relationship will go far (and I’m talking marriage material). If you think that you will break up in the future, don’t tell them that you like them because the break up will be awkward and hard to fix.It might take a while, but if you think you two would break up in the future, this is a sign that you don’t really like them.It would be safer to stay as friends in the meantime, but once you make your decision, go with it! Good luck :)
Friends with benefits/neighbor help!!!! awkward to the extreme?

Friend found out that I like her, and now it's awkward.?
So recently, I told a mutual friend of this girl who I've liked for a few months now. And a few days ago, he told me that he told her that I like her. It's really awkward, and me and her haven't really talked about this sort of stuff. Me and her used to talk a lot, even if we weren't that close. But now we don't even talk at all anymore, not even a hi or anything. I tried starting conversations with her a couple of times after, but they were just so awkward. Before, we could go on and on about pretty much anything. Anyways our mutual friend told me that she said that a lot of her close friends ended up liking her, so I think she's used to guys ending up liking her, but it always got awkward. But anways, I really have no idea what to do... I mean I really valued our friendship, and having her ignore me hurts a lot more than I thought. I really need help! What should I do?!
Should I tell the girl I'm friends with that I love her or not, I don't want to ruin our friendship?
It’s a very hard decision and I know that from the situation I am in right now, but I want you to know that either you take a huge gamble and tell her or you will remain unhappy for the remaining duration of your friendship with her (unless you find someone else). Losing a friend is not easy and it’s the loneliness that will kill you but you should think about whether you want to be happy and even if she rejects you, sure it will be awkward but there is still a chance that she will be your friend.If you don’t want to take the gamble I think you should give a hint or try flirting with her a couple of times. If she looks uncomfortable or she flirts back (not in a joking friendly manner) then you know what to do. If she looks uncomfortable, then you can back off and just continue being friends (no harm done, just closing another door).As everyone is saying in this answer section, there are really 3 endings depending on the decision you make.If you didn’t tell her, you will remain unhappy until you fall for another person.If you tell her, she will reject you and your relationship takes a dive into the trash bin in my macbook.If you tell her, she will reject you but remain friends with you even though there may be awkward tension.I was (well still am) in love with my best friend and seeing how our relationship started to slowly deteriorate from close friend to normal and annoying friend, it hurt me. We didn’t talk as much as we used to and sometimes I wonder if he even cared about me or I was just some stepping stone for his stupid ego and insecurities.However, I decided that I didn’t want to be here, waiting all night, staring at my phone from my bed. How when it buzzes, I would run with hope that he message me but it was just another friend. I was a dog in this relationship, waiting for my master but I realise that if my master really wanted me then he would have came back for me rather than abandoning me.So I decided not to like him anymore, I have to admit, it’s hard and I still think about him but the feelings when I see him eventually go away but I still care deeply for him.
Should i hook up with my best friend?
lets see.. i was in your shoes over 3 years ago. my current bf (who happens to be my best friend) liked me a year before he asked me out, but he tried to ignore it because "it might ruin the friendship". he went out with some other girl to try to make his feelings for me go away (but dont get me wrong, he did like the other girl). she eventually broke up with him. i picked up the broken pieces. then 6 months later, he asked me out. he told me he likes me and then asked me if i liked him too. i said "well, yea, i do, but what if it doesnt work out?". know what he told me? "but what if it does? then you'll never know what could've happened. would you rather live your life wondering what could've happened?". and that got me. he has a point. its been over 3 years and we're still together. i couldn't be any more thankful that he took the risk to tell me how he felt about me. i think you should go for it. i think it will be worth it. if she says no, then you guys can still be friends. if she says yes, then great. if things dont work out in the end, as long as you end things good, then hopefully, youd still be friends. its all about taking chances. if you dont, you might passed on something really great and something that could make you really happy, even just for a certain time. goodluck in your decision. hope all turns out well. btw, we were in high school too when he asked me out. my locker witnessed it all. :) lol him: there's something else i have to tell you that i couldnt write in the poem without sounding so... you know (i guess he meant cheesy). i care about you more just than a friend me: meaning? him: i like you. lol
This kid won't leave me alone, really awkward, how do I get him to stop? (long)?
Although by what you've said you have already tried it, I suggest pulling the kid to one side and point blank telling him that you don't mind being his friend, but he needs to stop following you around all of the time. If he continues to do so, as childish as it may seem, you may just have to resort to grassin' the **** UP. Tell someone who will take you seriously and will help you to solve the problem. As a side note, does he have any friends of his own? Maybe he's a bit lonely and hangs around you because you showed some interest. If this is the case, you could try introducing him to some people, or tell someone of authority about the situation who may be able to help him, such as maybe a teacher in charge of extra school activities? He could make some new friends there who share his interests. Best of luck, hope I've been of some help to you.
