text: is it wrong to let someone think you like them, when you can't stand to be around them?   everyone tries to be nice to other people. so i guess you were trying to be nice too. so it's no a wrong thing to let someone think you like them. anyway who says you must let other pp know you dont like them. so ultimately, the rule of thumb is that you question your very own intention. if you let someone think you like them because of good intentions then its okay.
