I don't know if I could see him that way cuz he is like my best friend and i dont want to hurt our friendship.. All I see him as is a friend... but I dont want to hurt his feelings or make him mad... could someone give me some advice on what i should do?? Thanks in advance!

Ok, if hes THAT good enough to be a best friend, then he'll understand and not be whacked about it. I mean, this is just one of those tests that God throws at you to see if you would know what to do. So, I'd do this. Just go up to him and tell him "hey, I know you like me, but I just see you as a best friend. I mean, I dont wanna hurt our relationship and even if we didnt go out, I dont feel the same way. I'm sorry." and maybe he'll understand. If he does understand, then he's a really awesome best friend. If not, then I'm not really sure what to say. And if you dont feel comfortable telling him face-to-face, then tell him on the phone, email, or IM. I hope I helped.

well, if he's liked you this long without it hurting anything, just tell him that you don't see him as more than a good friend. he may be mad or disappionted, but he'll get over that. whatever you do, dont fake any feeling for him, that will just make matters worse than what they could be. just be honest.

If you dont want to ruin your friendship he should understand.... but if u decide to go further then tell him from the beggining that IF you break up that you will remain as close as friends as you are now. But if you choose the other path then tell him you want to remain as friends and this is how you like it, tel him you feel bad but you think its better this way... show some sypathetic because know one likes to be rejected! hope this helps!! GOOD LUCK:) XOXO BLONDE911

Simply tell him that you don't really like him that way. You just think of him as a best friend and nothing more. Explain to him that you don't want to go out because you're scared it'll ruin the relationship you guys already have. Since he's your best friend, I'm sure he's going to understand. And tell him if you guys are ment to be, the feelings for both, you and him, will come back some other day.

Just tell him you are flattered that he thought of you that way, but you don't want to risk a great friendship. Besta Luck

You simply need to tell your best guy friend that you don't want to ruin your friendship with him and that going out with him well mess things up. He should understand this, since you two are best friends. Tell him that you see him as a friend only, and even as a brother, and that it would be weird going out with him.
