I like this guy but i dont wanna be his girlfriend?
I met this guy at a party. his best friend, who is dating my best friend, tells me he really likes me. This guy is really cute & i kinda had a crush on him even before he ever spoke to me. So now they tell me he probably is gonna propose this evening.
I dont want to be in a gf/bf relationship. First of all I have an aversion--a SUPER-strong dislike for the word "girlfriend". Secondly, I think this dating &gf/bf thing is just one big overrated, fu+ked up hype. Thirdly, my parents are totally against it. I dont want to be caught up, faced, answer a lot of dumb questions & the whole lot of drama.I dont want to belong to anybody or be a "girlfriend". I want to be free. But yet I like him & want to be close to him--even as a friend. I think relationships totally screw up friendships. Yet another batch of drama.So what should i tell him this evening? I cant say yes. But i dont wanna say no & hurt him. I just want him to know feel.
And one more thing, does this make me commitment phobic?
Im 16 and im NOT gonna get married. *rolls eyes*

Why are you holding yourself back? But no matter what you gotta be true to yourself. Follow your heart.

Think about what you're saying, "relationships never last long". If that's true then you shouldn't ruin your friendship by starting a relationship. Also, you don't want to get a bad reputation. Word travels fast in small towns and if you try and steal someones boyfriend then you might have trouble coming your way. By the way, love knows no age. It is very much possible that the boy you like truly loves his girlfriend. Just keep that in mind.

Well tell him in a nicely that can be friend but nothing more.I you and your parents are not mistaken.As I read you question you are still very young so much better to concentrate your studies & finish your career.There is no wrong to attract or have an opposite sex as a friend because we are normal but there is boundery or limit because young people is no much experience and can't cope much problem about relationship.Oneday if you finish your career & you turn to a grown young lady you can manage to decide& protect youself with out your parents guidance. Hope everthing will turnup good to you& your friend.

i dont think it makes u relation phobic, its jsut ur kinda contradicting urself.
i get the feeling like u want to be with him but at the same time not. its weird. yes sometimes relationships so screw up friendships, but then again maybe u will be much happier if u open yourself up. if u never date anyone it will be much harder to find the right person or what you are looking for in a person. (i assume u want to get married someday if not then screw pretty much everything i said).
so u might want to think about your mindset on relationships.
btw i hav no idea how old u r so it might b weird ir ur youn like 14 but it makes more sense if your older.

hmm i think you might be commitment phobic. maybe you just don't like him enough. i kind of feel the same way as you, but i think if i met someone amazing i might be different. no one has done it for me yet though, so single i will remain.
i'm interested as to what your ideal situation would be. would you be mad if you 2 became close friends and he had a girlfriend? do you just want to have many guy friends. do you ever want to get married?
i would be honest and tell him you don't like the idea of being a girlfriend, but you would really like him. i suggest seeing where it goes and remain open-minded. good luck!

yes am afraid you are commitment phobic but there is hope you sound young and you have enough time to find yourself and know what you want out of a relationship..l think you should let this guy know your thoughts and concerns about commiting right now and if he is ok with a hanging out with you them that is fine

hurray love your way of thinking, how about friends with benefits, I don't think your commitment phobic at all, just seen alot and have a watchful eye, everything you said has a truth to it from my standpoint
