Hinting

[Machi]

There are a couple of girls who show interests in me and I would like to hint them that I am not interested in anything further than friendship. concurrently, I would not like to hurt them and the friendship.

Can someone please kindly advised?

Don't flirt back at all... That usually gives the girl a hint a guy is not interested

[Machi]

Well, I have did that and even labelled her as bro. Mmm....

What do they bring to the friendship that makes you want to keep them in your life when you know that they want more then friendship with you? Why wouldn't you be a true friend and tell them that you're not interested in them romantically and then if the friendship ends, so be it. At least you won't be being a selfish ass by disclosing the truth.

I disagree with you, WakeUp. If I was to tell her that, that means I am rejecting her before she even confesses to me. This will definitely hurt her more. But I should also thank you because I used another topic to tell her directly that we are just friends, nothing more than that! But I do not know whether she get it or not.
