How to talk to the girl who likes you

Talking to the girl who likes you can be a very easy thing to do. It all depends on how you feel about her. If you like her as well, you'd approach it differently than if you aren't interested in her (at least not as a girlfriend). For the purposes of this article, we'll focus on how to talk to the girl who likes you, but who you don't like in return.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

You

1. If you feel the need to break her heart, try to lessen the blow by being nice about it. There is no need for sarcasm, obnoxious comments and rubbing it in her face that you don't share her affection. It's embarrassing to like someone who doesn't return the emotion, so tread lightly when you talk to her.

2. Be honest and upfront, but also kind. If you have no interest, let her know immediately. If there is some sort of interest, but you're not at a point where you want a relationship, let her know. It isn't fair to string someone along and in fact, it's downright rude. Be the responsible, good person you know you can be and take the high road by filling her in on your feelings about her. Again, do it in a nice way, unless you don't care about how people think of you.

3. If you are uncomfortable talking to her, give yourself a little space. Don't hang out in places or with people she might know and be with. Take some time to formulate how to approach the situation so you handle it appropriately, not like a jerk.

4. Find a buffer, someone who you both know who you can both comfortably talk to, to break the ice and set up the scene for talking to her. We're not talking big production here; we're talking a simple opportunity to ease into conversation without a huge amount of awkwardness.

5. If you are afraid to talk about how you feel, keep the conversation light and short. You need to do everything in your power to show her you aren't interested in her in any way other than friendship. Again, this must be done in a nice, tactful way and it's a very delicate balance. Ideally, you can't show her much interest or she'll think there's a chance. It sounds mean, but it's the most effective way of dealing with the situation. To keep someone from liking you, or to quell any interest they already have in you, you have to make yourself seem uninteresting to them. Give them a reason why they shouldn't like you.

6. If all else fails, talk about other girls you are interested in. A surefire way to turn someone off of you is to let them know your mind and heart are already focused on someone else.

Tips & Warnings

• You may devastate her. It happens so be willing to "be the bad guy" if you know you're not interested in her. You'll be better off in the end, and so will she.
• <br>When you decide to address the situation, pick a place that is neutral (not a bar where people are screaming, but not a coffee shop where you can hear a pin drop). You need to find a location that has a certain level of noise, which helps to distract her a little bit from the heartbreak. Also, asking her to come to your place or going to her place gives the absolute WRONG idea. Definitely don't go to any place considered romantic.
• Avoid using your friends as crutches at all costs. That only serves to complicate the situation.
• <br>Don't tell her why you don't like her, unless you absolutely must give her a reason. Most girls won't even ask, as they don't want to know.
