I seriously need some advice

I didn't know where else to put this, this ain't a age gap problem, but more of a friend problem.
My friend has just text me that she likes me, but the thing is, I don't like her, I like her sister and she is seing a guy withing our group of friends that hang out every weeknight. Ok, let's call the girl that likes me, Erin. Now Ering has 2 more sisters that I talk to more and joke around with. One of her sister's I like. Erin knows that we like eachother and that we mess around alot. Erin is seing a guy friend who is close to me and we are buddies. Let's call the guy friend, Adam. Adam likes Erin, but lately, they both haven't been showing much commincation or "puppy love". Erin would come up to me and ask me why I think Adam is acting differently. I know Adam is not seing someone, and so now I ain't sure. I give Erin motivation to talk to him because he is a shy guy, and so it works, but then later the problem continues. She get's tired of chasing him or trying to figure out what is the matter. I keep telling her that things will be ok, and that I would talk to Adam to see what is going on. So, last weeknight, we all hung out and they were talking, she asked him what is going on and where are things going. Adam never answer because the whole gang was ready to leave. So then, we left off like that and until today, she has text me and said, "would you trip if I told you that I like you"? I text her back saying that if that was the reason why she would tell her sister to back away from me and that I would talk to Adam as soon as possible. I didn't get a response from her until now, and she is waiting for an answer about her question.
The thing is, I don't know how to face that question. It's someting that I can't run away from because they are my friends and I wish for us not to depart because of unmeasured hearts within friends. I don't know what to do? I don't want to date her sister yet because I don't rush things and I rather whait to see if she is the one. So, what do I tell her? I'm in a hole. We are all suppose to hang out this Easter and last thing I need is for everyone to be arguing, or worst case scenerio, not do nothing and whait until things are ok. Please help me, for the first time in my life, I was afraid of something like this to happen, and it happen.

Tell her how you really feel.

Sounds like a load of high school stuff to me.......He likes so and so, I like so and so, but so and so likes me, but .......and on and on....

There IS nothing to DO.....This is just life and complications and what happens when you co-habit in a 'group'......Its just part of growing up.....and we are all going through it in a different way......As you get older, you wont feel the need to always hang around in a group of people.....But you will have a whole new set of different circumstances......Your situation is starting to sound a little bit incestuous to me.....I had exactly the same stuff happening when I was 21 and living with a group of 5 friends in Sydney....Exactly the same....She likes so and so, but I like so and so......We fought, we split up......We laughed......we had a lot of fun.......!!!

Just be honest and you cant go wrong......Start scheming and planning and trying.....and you will create drama......Pure and simple honestly how you feel and that is that.......:)

The best thing to say to her is, "I'm flattered, but I have to be honest with you... I am only interested in you as a friend." and leave it at that.

I agree with Katrina...tell the girl youre interested in being her friend and that you value her friendship but it wont go any farther than that. Thats the mature, on the level "adult" thing to do.
Good luck

High School Drama??? I know, tell me about it. I am really afraid of the split scene. That is why I was asking for any advice and how to solve this situation without having anyone go through a grudge for someone else. But I did e-mail her, I just have to whait for a reply from her.

Go out with Erin and forget her sis for now. Say you just want to be friends. She may decide that she does not like you. And you are off the hook!

Maybe just say I like you as a friend and I don't want to ruin that... :)

Your best bet is to be honest and let her know how you feel. If you don't have romantic interest in her, but like her as a friend, then tell her the truth in a kind and caring way. Don't go out with her just because, because if you do, then you will give her the idea that there is more there than there really is.

Recently a friend of mine who happens to be a lady asked me if to catch her for coffee. She knows that I am very involved with my G/f. She has liked me for years, and has told me so, but I have always been truthful about the fact that I am not interested in her as anything other than as a friend. She asked me last week if there were any chance for she and I. I told her the truth. No. I was polite about it, and kind about it, but I could tell that it bothered her. Well, it would bother her alot more if I strung her along and then let her down later on, not to mention how hurtful it would be to my G/f. Admittedly, I am not engaged. But honesty is still the best way to handle it. Erin will be hurt less if you stick to your guns and be truthful with her than if you go out for a while and then dump her. Good luck to you.

Thanks all you guys for your support. All my hard work has paid off.
I have spoke with Adam about Erin. But I did not tell Adam that Erin had stuff for me. Adam really likes Erin, and so I gave him many ideas of what to do to show her that he likes her. I sent a gentle e-mail to Erin showing how much our friendship is worth. Lucky for me that my motivation to Adam advanced in calling her and them both went out. A couple of days later, she calls me saying "Thanks".
Throughout this whole time, I was waiting for something to happen, wether it may be good news or bad news, but I was prepared for anything. Everything is cool now, me,Erin,Adam, and Erin's sisters are back to normal. Erin told me that she did not get much attention from Adam.
