Oh Lord, more teen drama Options

[R i O T *]

Our favorite topic, I know, right . Anyway, there's this guy named David. I don't like him (except for as a friend), but he really likes me. It's pretty lame, but we always go to this Thursday night church service together and afterwards, his mom drives me home. Well tonight on the ride home, his sister and her friends tried getting me to go out with him, but I just want to stay friends and all. After a while, his sister and her friends started to leave us alone and we just sat there and talked. A little bit later, his mom made a sharp turn and I leaned into him and stayed there because he was confortable . And then later we started holing hands, which isn't really too bad, but now I'm worried that he might think we're going out because I've been leading him on. Any ideas on how I should tell him that I only like his as a friend without being too mean or cliche? Blah, so confusing

sounds like you kike him too to me. Maybe you need to really dig into why you don't like this guy more than a friend. If you like being near him and holding his hand whats the real problem. Is he uncool? Ugly? Short? Your friend dated him first? Whatever it is, you are behaving in a way that reflects attraction. Just think about it for a while. If you still feel the same way, hook up with another guy. That you actually like. He'll figure it out lol. Or just be a big girl and tell him how you truly feel. Just make sure you know how you really feel.
