I get along really well with women, but I'm not interested in dating all of them. How do I remain friendly with the fairer sex without giving them the wrong idea?
Piece o’ cake.
When first meeting a cool chick you’d love to have a sister-type relationship with, immediately mention the girl you are dating or your current crush. Later, talk about your favorite “type” of girl and describe someone very different from her -- add to the effect by shrugging your shoulders and looking slightly baffled as to why you’re only attracted to blondes/Asian girls/girls with large derrieres. To hit the point home, ask if you can set her up with a distant friend (regardless of whether you do it or not).
If the conversation gets the least bit flirtatious, change the subject or momentarily move away. Girls are very attuned to subtle hints and body language.
Finally, when you meet a guy she’s dating, repeat how much you like him and invite them out with you from time to time.
