Asking out someone without feelings?

[LYNXXIS]

Ok so i have a really really important childhood friend. We are now separated but we still talk on Skype and Facebook. Then one day my childhood friend "A"'s friend "B" added me. We talked and then "B" was like do you know who "A" likes? I was like yes (because he told me it was someone else) and then "B" said YOU. And i freaked out and "B" told me how he has been "Depressed for months because i friend zoned him. So i told "A" i liked him and he told me he would call me tomorrow- Because i didn't want to hurt him, or him being upset, and lose our friendship and also because i wanted to find out the truth because this problem was just plain confusing. I then realised i didn't really like him because i had no feelings what so ever and there was this guy that i do have feelings for (but i thought i was over him :/) and that what i did made it even worse. And then he replied and he said he did too. Now i don't want to lie about my feelings and force myself to like him because that would hurt both of us. So i taught about saying something along the lines of "actually i don't think i can because its long distance and yea..." but i can't bring myself to say it.

Congratulations, you're fucked.
You're probably aware by now that you have made an extremely poor decision in having your emotionally unstable comrade in the friendzone believe you reciprocate his feelings.
Tell him the truth. Apologize. Give him a week to hate your existence. Organize to see him (in which time, ensure he's alright, and attempt to resurrect your friendship.) If he descends into self pity, or acts out any hostility towards you, LEAVE HIM BE.
In future, regardless of the other person's feelings, do NOT lead them on.
Best of luck, sweetie xx

hehe yeh i agree with nipple leave him alone and if you lead them on you can induce the worst including heartbreak and suicide at the worst. you must be ready to tell people you don't like them or you can destroy lives. don't start a path of destruction you demon.

Why not the truth I'll use myself as an example in 1978 I was touring with a show and and day this new girl pops in and when I looked into her eyes it was magic only she didn't see what I saw I feel in love with her even adore her anyway I had to get away because she didn't love me like I did I understood because I was just about twice her age but down the road I couldn't get her out of my mind so I went looking for her connected and we been bet-st of friends I know said because I wanted her as a lover but settled for best friend I still love her and rather have her as a friend then not at all. True love can also be a heart breaker this ever happen to you
