You could also tell her in a way without making the awkward convo. about being friends. For example: You know, it's nice just having friends that are girls without dating them, don't you agree?

While this is still sort of harsh and to the point, she can maybe pretend that she knew this all along and save her dignity. But then if she still flirts, then you got to tell her straight up.

Good Luck :)

Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. Girls are yucky.

I'm with Jessica, either the way she said, or just tactfully work it into a conversation that you know there will be some one special out there for her..

Mike -- From all of our interactions in the Chicago forum, I've gotten the very distinct impression that you're someone who is easy to talk to and very receptive to people in general.

Sometimes that gets misinterpreted (I could tell you about 87 stories along those lines) and people will perceive it as a different kind of interest.

It's hard to be direct sometimes, without being a little more blunt than maybe you would like it to be -- but, trust me, this is not the sort of thing you can let linger. It can get VERY messy if it goes on too long.

I have faith in you, I believe you will know what the right thing to do is, when the time comes.

Boy I'm glad I don't have your problems. I'm not looking for a relationship usually works for me.
