The guy that asked me to grad is incredibly nice and sweet, but he's not my type. I feel bad saying that, but when I don't like someone, it isn't really something I can control, I guess.
Here's the thing. He told me he liked me, on the band trip, and then won me a prize at this arcade thing and I thought it was so sweet! But it still doesn't change anything. I always feel bad when I don't like someone back, because I know how crappy it feels to not be liked by the person you like, I can't change my feelings. That's why they are called feelings, you don't control how you feel, you just feel it.
So when he told me, everything got really awkward, I didn't know what to say or do, he is the sweetest and super nice, but, I don't know, I just don't like him the way he likes me.
But really, there is no such thing as letting someone down easy. Hearing from someone you really like, that they don't like you back, is going to hurt no matter what. It's not something you can control. But instead of being like "eww! I don't like you like that and never will!" Just be nice about it. Like, "Oh, sorry, but I don't feel the same way about you." It's just a lot nicer, and won't make them feel as bad.
As for the people who are on the other end, as in the people liking people who don't like you back, it's going to be okay. This will sound really cliche, but there are plenty of fish in the sea, and it's their loss if they don't like you. I am sure you are a good person and you will be loved by someone eventually. Just give it time.
