To not believe them but pretend

[Chester23]

I received a text from someone along the lines of "what would you do if someone told you they had feelings for you? Would you stop talking to them?" I was like wtf and didn't reply for a while. I finally answered with feel awkward exactly like I do right now.

They are now telling that they were asking for my opinion. If that was the case surely you'd give context first. I work with this person, they are older than me and I am similar age to their daughter. I have 0 feelings for this person. I am in a long term relationship. I do tend to get on with men more having been brought up with more male influence. I also used to work in a pub so tend to ignore inappropriate comments.

I'm unsure what to do tomorrow? Do I carry on like normal or step back a little from this friendship?

Take a massive big stride backwards. This is just another dime a dozen scenario of an older man fake befriending a young woman in the hope of sex.

And do give some thought to this business of 'getting on better with men' because honestly, when you're young and attractive men will always 'get on' with you. Women on the other hand are much more likely to be friends with you for real and not hit on you.

I struggle with female friends. This is true. When ever I have a female friend, it goes tits up for some reason
