Welcome to Gaia! ::

I think this influx of interest from boys just means that more people are seeing you for you (hopefully) and you are attractive to them! But it's understandable when more people push feelings you way that you can't return.

It's important that you say no, even though you find it hard to. And if those youth group friends of yours give you trouble for it, confront them. They're "just friends" with this boy too right (even if they're guys)? What makes YOU the one that has to go out with this dude? NOTHING.
Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about your own feelings. You don't have to justify anything to anyone but yourself.

You are hurting peoples feelings. But wouldn't it hurt much later if you said yes to a relationship you aren't committed to? It would. Those boys will get over it, trust me.
If they aren't complete jerks, they'll also stay friends with you, because you sound like an awesome person to be around.

Much love and good luck! heart
