I ended up going out with him because my brother told him yes (over AIM). It was miserable. So don't do what i did, lol. If you really don't want to go out with him just tell him straight up. Don't play games. When he calls you and asks you, act suprised and say "Oh wow. [name] you're a REALLY great guy and all, but we're such good friends i dont even want to think aobut spoiling that." If he understands from there, just leave it at that. But if he persists then say something like "I just dont think of you like that. You're my friend and i love having things that way. I'm flattered that you like me, but i just don't feel the same way. I'm sorry, and i dont want this to change things between us." hopefully you can leave it at that. If not... you're going to have to be firm. "I'm sorry, but my answer is no. I'll talk to you later, bye" i hope this helps! good luck!

icey0990 answered Tuesday November 30 2004, 10:04 pm: Maybe tell him you want to stay friends and if you go out it might make your friendship awkward later. You could also tell him that between school and everything else you dont want a bf...you could also be straight out honest with him and explain that you dont see him as a bf..you see him as a friend and that u wanna stay friends or something.
good luck!
