Should I feel guilty for not being in love with someone who's in love with me?

Ever heard the phrase "hope springs eternal"?...and love especially make that even more true as well as near impossible to let go of. A person cannot help who they love and neither can a person help who they don't. You have no reason to feel guilty because you do not share his feelings. That is something that is his issue and he needs to admit to himself that his love is in vain and move on. You don't have to be mean to him but you may have to show anger and sternness to get the message across (which is not being mean), then follow that up by not engaging him more than maybe a brief "hello" when you see him. Trying to be nice about it and worrying about his feeling being hurt only makes it appear that you are just "playing hard to get" and that there is still a chance because to him, somewhere inside you have the same feelings and interest. He may be hurt by your rejection and you may feel badly about that, but he will need to go away and lick his wounds for awhile then move on....eventually his feeling for you should become just a fond faded memory to him.

You can't force yourself to love someone, and he can't force someone else to love him. Nothing to be guilty for.

He needs to let go. Move on.
It's his issue, not yours. Feeling bad is understandable if your friend is hurting himself or lying to himself though.

How you handle it is dependent of how you two interact. It's best that he realizes this sooner than later though

Never feel guilty for something you don't feel... And please never lie or fake feelings either....

You shouldn’t be made to feel guilty for other people’s feelings. He can’t take no for an answer and that says a lot about him and his future. I would stay away from him and just push him out of my life completely. It’s not being mean, you know your worth, don’t ever let someone else take the reigns on that.

You don't need that kind of vibes in your life. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.
TRO for a triple safety. Lmao

Why should you be?

You can't EARN love...by loving someone.

Oh well, there goes 150 years of silly pop songs!!

As long as you've indicated you're not romantically interested, you need not feel bad

No, but I think you should minimize your contact with this person to save him the heartache. He should be doing the same.

Haha... Sounds very very familiar to me.

He sounds nuts.

Not at all

no - as you age your standards will drop anyway

He's a dumbass clearly. There are too many women out there to waste a decade on just one.

Wow..thanks for best answer.

guy has issues - keep your distance!
