And thats ok. this is not ur fualt, just try and tell him u only love him as a friend nothing more. And for ur friend, if he is cutting himself because of it, he needs to get some help. *Jennifer* [ Cutietumbler424's advice column | Ask Cutietumbler424 A Question ]

You should try explaining to him that when you tell him you love him you mean that you love him as a person and as a dear close friend to you that you would never intentionally try to hurt. If he continues to cut himself then maybe that isn't a relationship that you need to be in because it's quite forceful and putting you in a position you don't want to be in. Also, you need to try and tell someone about it so that he can get help =) it is the best way to look out for his best interest I promise.
As you may know you are in a tough position, but if you think about it, you really do love him. But no in a romantically way. If he is one of your best friends so technically you're not lying to him. To answer your question, tell him the truth. Tell him what I just told you. Tell him that one day he will find someone who will lovw him for who he really is and that'll be his true love. Then offer to help him search, but remind him that true love can be found it the weirdest of places!

ButterflyKissxx3 answered Thursday July 29 2004, 8:28 pm: wow thats a toughy. so your saying if you tell him you don't like him he'll cut himself? don't tell him you like don't like him b/c then he might physically hurt himself, but just keep saying i love you b/c you love him as a friend, ask him if he still likes you. one time i made myself look really bad towards someone who liked me, maybe you can do that, but if he's liked you for a year then he might not let go <33 Good Luck! Hope I helped! [ ButterflyKissxx3's advice column | Ask ButterflyKissxx3 A Question ]
