The question whether friendship between the man and the woman is possible, arose not from scratch. Often friendly participation is perceived as something big, and the crash of hopes becomes the reason of painful experiences.
Instruction
1. If you are not going to change a format of the relations with your friend, try not to provoke it to active steps on gaining your heart. Do not coquet with it and do not carry on double talks which he could interpret as encouragement.
2. Ask it what he appreciates in girls, and then tell about the ideal of the man so that your friend had no illusions as if you speak about it. For fidelity you can add: "I did not meet such person yet, and it is unknown whether I will meet". If you have a close man, let about it know to your friend in case of need.
3. You speak to the guy more often "You are a true friend" or "Thanks to you I was convinced that friendship between the man and the woman exists" if you consider that he counts on more warm attitude. At the same time you should not squeeze gently his hand, looking in eyes and invitingly smiling.
4. If the guy after all decided to speak in love, tell simply and firmly something it seems: "I treat you very kindly, you are a wonderful person, and many girls will be happy to meet you. And I love you as friend and as brother. Let's everything not complicate and to spoil our relations".
5. In case of need you can acquaint the friend with your boyfriend. Let your friend will be convinced that you are not going to leave darling. Otherwise unreasonable hopes can long create illusions of the guy, prolonging his sufferings.
6. You can try to acquaint your friend with the good girl who, in your opinion, can be pleasant to it and distract from you its attention. Even if it will not occur, the guy will understand that you really treat him exclusively friendly, wish him good luck, but do not see in it the groom or the lover.
7. If the guy is excessively persistent, tell him that you should interrupt any communication and that he can lose the good friend in your person.
