Need advice
I'm currently in a relationship. I love my g.f. very much. However, a female friend of mine is starting to fall in love with me. I, on the other hand, would prefer to remain just friends with her. How can I tell her I'm not interested in pursuing her romantically, without hurting her feelings?

You can't. There's no way to tell her you're just plain not interested in her without her feeling hurt and rejected, so just be honest.

Write a well written letter, expressing your reasons why you two can't be together, with eliquance and poise. Then end it with "I am Gay".
Homer Simpson can teach us alot about life.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. :)
However, the "I am Gay," wouldn't work, as she knows I'm not.

Eh, lots of gay people have "beards".
In seriousness though, I would just be honest with her. You're going to hurt her, and all of that, but she'll get over it.
Convince her to join NS General. Then, after you tell her, she'll start a thread about it and we can give her advice to help her get over it. Basically, let us do the hard work. ;)
(Or I can just explain to her my view of the world, and she'll probably never even think of love ever again....)

Tell her that you only go out with ugly women. By the way, I used to be an ugly woman...

You call that a problem?
When I was your age, I would have loved to have a problem like that.
