Guys pls help

How do you reject a girl and stay friends with them? My friend just told me one of my other friends wants to ask me out but im not attracted to girls but idk how to do that graciously without making everything awkward and possibly ruining the friendship. idrk why im asking a valorant forum full of 12 yr olds but fuck it

Say u dont like girls ez

just date a guy and divide with her, she will understand that you don't like girls and will continue being your friend cause you care to share... I'm that smart...

focus on study

Maybe the easiest thing is just to say that to your friend and let him/her tell your other friend that you are not looking for relationship at this point or whatever before this person asks you out. Doesn't have to tell her that you know about it. Just make them casually say it without mentioning that you know. Its maybe easiest and least awkward because then she doesn't know you know while she didn't get denied since she didn't even ask to begin with. Its win-win if it works. Not that long lasting solution though.

Or just be honest and say how you feel. Its risky, but friendships are all about honesty and understanding each other.

just my take

are you open about not being into women?

Just say you want to stay as friends and be mutual about it you gotta reject them respectfully at least.
