What are ways to put relationship rumors to rest among friends?

Cupid’s Advice:

Relationship rumors can be annoying, especially if they’re completely untrue.  Cupid has some ways to put the rumors to rest:

1. Be candid: Be insistent that nothing is going on and don’t hesitate with your words or seem unsure.  Just stick to the facts.

2. Get cozy with someone else: People are bound to discredit the rumors when they see you with someone else.  They might come to the conclusion that you’re just a warm and affectionate person!

3. Laugh it off: In the end, who really cares what people think.  If you’re being honest with yourself, that’s all that matters.
