How I Stayed Friends After Turning Down My Guy Friend

So, picture this: my best guy friend suddenly asks me out. Cue the awkward silence. I honestly didn’t see it coming, and my brain was screaming, “Don’t ruin the friendship!” I took a deep breath and told him the truth—I just didn’t feel that spark. I made sure to be gentle, no sarcasm, no eye-rolling, just honesty. Weirdly enough, we kept hanging out like nothing happened. I dodged any group gossip and let him have space when he needed it. Sure, it was awkward at first, but we found our groove again. Turns out, being honest and a little bit awkward is better than losing a friend.
