HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE YOU DONT LIKE THEM?

[rcbrad]

I guess the OP must have solved the problem by now.  Perhaps someones advice did help, but we never really knew what kind of like the person meant?

It depends on whether they told you straight out that they like you.  If they have, then you can try easing them in like saying that, "You know, you're a great person and all.  But, I don't think that things will work out between us.  It's not that I don't like you or anything, we can still be friends."  Then, there might be some awkward silence from then on.  OR if they haven't told you that they like you, just pretend that you never knew.

  you tell them its not you its me typical response.  when they dont buy it, just say how you really feel. tell em your not into them.

You don't. Just avoid them, don't flirt, don't laugh at their jokes, and they'll eventually get the picture. Don't be too obvious about it; don't be rude, just boring. But there are always people that just won't give up. As a last resort, you could ask a friend to tell them for you. Have them just hint at it. DON'T have them say "hey, samantha, fred told me to tell you that he doesn't like you." And pick someone that is good friends with the person; someone that the person trusts. Another thing you could do is make up an excuse. My excuse that I use often is "I don't date younger girls", which is partly true. Another thing you can do is talk constantly about other girls (or guys) when she's (or he's) around you. Just be like "Wow, that girl (or guy) over there is hot" or "I miss (either your ex or your crush's name goes here)"

just be honest with them its the best way

If its a (old) friend yeah the only thing you CAN do for them to get the hint and you usually never want to talk to them again is to avoid them completely. Make sure things are noticable and they will get the idea. But if its like a relationship kinda thing. I personally have learned that the other person is the one that has to change, so you have to do and say things to make them not like you. I always try to make people my friend first now before i go into the whole relationship kinda deal, because if things dont work out at least we can be friends and still talk, at least we still "like" each other. But sadly even for me, a boy, occasionally i get the girl whos just straight up OBSESSED with me before they even know who i am, and i HATE IT. It makes things sooooooo hard, i cant think about anything other than, "why are they looking at me, what are they thinking, oh god what do i do" in that case i rarely say anything to them, dont make eye contact, kinda just lean them away. Yeah it is "mean" but its alot better than just straight up ignoring. I hope this helped even a little. And goodluck.

Another thing, people just dont get it. Its like, oh yeah i think that persons hot, they think im hot, okay now they do it. Thats just jumping to the end of the relationship in all honesty, so if you feel like being used just keep on doing your skipping steps instead of just regularly talking to them. Have a slight ego comon now people, quit being so easy and out there im sick and tired of it.... and im only 19. Its pathetic...

i dont think you should tell them just stop hanging around them so much they will figure it out sooner or later

Depending on what situation is whether it is friendly or an annoying co-worker or some STALKER! most the time if you tell them go away YOU avoid HAVING TO GO TO COURT!
