I think its only fair that you said no to someone of which you have no feelings for. You have no reason to feel bad, and for him life goes on.

Ohh, Well I’m sure you can work it out with him. Just treat him nicely as normal, just be a bit more sensitive but make it clear you don’t want to be with him.

Remember you have nothing to feel guilty about, you told him the truth. Surely this should make your friendship stronger if you two can get past this. Maybe you should meet up with him for a cup of coffee or for lunch and tell him how you feel and work things out.

Well, Leave it a few weeks for it to calm down. Then try to have a civil conversation with him. I’m sure he will come to his senses.

You did the right thing.
It’s better to have polietly said no rather to say yes and have him assume you have feelings for him. :)

yeh i have this sort of guy friend and he asked me out and i said no and its been like 2 years since. he is still acting all awkward around me and i feel really self conscious around him. he is a cool guy and i want to be friends but whenever i try to talk to him he just tries to find a distraction. im really shy and i dont know what to do. i have no idea what to talk about.
