no u cant :nono: love = sex therefore i love someone = i wanna have sex with someone
so u can only say u like michael. actually not even that. no. cuz "like" nowadays also means "sex". therefore when u say u "like someone" it means u wanna have sex with them. u can only use the word "like" for things that u cant have sex with like a place or ice cream :yes: so i guess u can only say to them that u feel indifferent about michael. but hmm now that i think about it that could be controversial too. so yeah u can just say that u dislike him so that u avoid all the confusion
