I have a small crush on my neighbor. He’s older than me and has daughter. She is the same age as me. I found out today that she likes me and might ask me out some time soon. I don’t want to hurt her feelings and I don’t know what to say to her.
Do you like her in a friendship-sort-of-way? If so, you can fall back on that. "Wow, sorry. I guess I've always just looked at you as a friend, and I'd rather keep doing that." Lex
Once again,The Gay Gargoyle,beat me to the punch! He's right...tell her you'd like to be friends. And like Time said,say that you're not ready for a relationship. I think you'll be okay.Good luck! Mickey**
I’ve only met her twice. I don’t really know her at all, so I can’t say that I’ve always thought of her as a friend.
Then just politely decline if she asks you out. "I don't think so. But I'm really flattered you asked." Lex
Yeah, just say that you're very flattered but no thanks. If you like, you could say your relationship situation is "complicated" and you'd rather not get involved with her right now. It's reassuring and also truthful.
