Sending mixed signals? How to tell a friend I'm not interested
Here's the dilemma I think many shy women face:
With guys I'm romatically interested in I am LOUSY at letting them know because I am seriously shy about lingering smiles, lingering gazes and other flirty stuff.
However, with a guy I see as just a friend I can make eye contact and be very chummy.
The problem is that I end up with guy friends who want more--and a complete lack of dates with guys I like!
Well I already know that winks and smiles let a guy know I AM interested. But how do I let a guy friend know I am NOT interested without hurting his feelings? Is there a subtle way of doing this? Some guys seem to take even a friendly smile as a sign that you like them.
A guy's perspective would be great!
