GUYS? DO men want to hear "Let's just be friends" ? or not? (51)
Well it can be taken as a bit of a blow to your pride. Because its basicly saying i dont find you attractive in a nice way.

Wipe his nose, tie his shoelaces, then just spit it out.

No men don't want to hear it, but at the same time, it needs to be said. Honestly, I've been told that same thing, and it sucks, but at the same time, I'm still there for them when they need a true friend. After finding out that its not going to work, tell them "I'm sorry, I think we'd be better off as friends. I don't feel that spark between us, but I really do like you as a friend." Most guys will take the hint and either man up and say that they'd like that, or wuss out and be pretty much disrespectful, but either way, you stated your feelings and its better to get it out before getting too far in.

Being honest is best.
A person needs to know what it means and move on in a graceful exit.
The fault with that statement is that most of the time the person does not really want to be friends, but a passing hello when need be.
Still a graceful exit is needed with an opening for the friendship if it is really wanted.

That's good advice.
How many dates do you think it should take?
Two, I think is fair to give the other person a chance.
Unless you know at first glance, but I don't like to be so quick to rule someone out.
This whole thing causes me so much anxiety that I think it's not worth it.

We are all big boys here. I would rather know as soon as possible whether there is any interest or not.
Just give it to us straight so everyone can move on.

I have a very good friend, we tlk on the phone, give each other advice and have some good laughs- we had gone on a date but i wasn't attracted to him. I had an open chat with him, told him that I didn't feel that way towards him but that I still wanted him in my life- I'm very glad to say that he took it like a man & decided he wanted me in his life too. Some men would not be able to do this, but they could be the ones missing out. Friendships-real ones- last, which is more than many romances do.

That sounds good too. We have lots to talk about, lots in common.
We had two dates and on the second date, the thing that makes me doubt this is possible is that he said a few things about how he thinks I look good in jeans. The signal I get from this is he wants a relationship or nothing.
I'm still stuck.

Get it over with, tell him straight out. Then leave him to make the friendship decision, I have more female friends than male, much prefer it that way. Going down to the pub and listening to the same old stories every night, bores me to tears.

my friend often comments on what i'm wearing too. if i had said i would bring it futher i think he would have in the beginning, but now it's a friendship and a really valuable one too. it can take a while but if it's what you both want it can work

OH NO, the kiss of death.
Seriously, it's better to be brutally honest and tell us how you feel. It's a lot better to find out about it early, while we're still expecting rejection than to tell us later, when the feelings have grown.
If you do want him as a friend, make it perfectly clear to him (men are dense sometimes
), or he'll think it's just a way to dump him.
BTW, I compliment my female friends, every chance I get. Everyone deserves a compliment every once in a while.

<<<<< Ok, if you have to hear it, I do NOT want to be just friends!

Yes, please realize that we are lost when it comes down to the sensitive aspect of relationships. We try really hard, but could really use some help.
Remember: Men are from mars......

I've heard the lectures on being honest and telling the person straight up, "I like you just as a friend"
I've heard that men don't want to hear that, they don't want that.
So when you are on your second or third date and realize that this isn't going to work out, what should the woman do?
The truth can hurt and it's hard to spit it out.
