only like as a friend
Ok, there is this one guy that I know likes me. But I don't like him. We are really really good friends. How can I tell him I don't like him without hurting him?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Tell him that you only like him as a friend. Tell him that friends are forever and being together would jeopardize your friendship. Say that friendship means more to you then taking a chance with him liking you.

hey,
ive had that happen to me before. where one of my really close guy friends likes me. and honestly there is not a way to tell them without hurting them. You just have to try and tell them in the nicest way possible. when one of my guy friends liked me i said "your like a brother to me i couldnt like you that way" so then atleast they know that you like having them as a close friend. its hard i know
**mucho love**

Well if he likes you as much as you say, then there is no way that he won't be hurt when he receives the news about your true feelings. Don't let it get you down because it's something that you need to do. You need to meet him face to face and be honest with him because he deserves that from you: to be told face to face about your true feelings towards him. It could be either a respectable place for teens, your home, or some place where there is supervision with adults too. Be honest and tell the truth. He'll be hurt and I think he might not want to be your friend because it may remind him of what he never had, if he refuses to be your friend of course, and that is alright. You have to respect his decision whatever it is and move on with his life. It was just only another hard lessoned learned in life. For both you and him . AND don't forget it ever .

well you could tell him that you just like him as a friend and nothing more b/c if you guys went out then break up it could ruin your whole relationship.

sit him down and say your very sweet and kind but i just like you as a friend nothing more i hope this won't damage our friendship because i still want to be your friend and maybe we could hang out sometime.

just tell him straight forward that you don`t like him, don`t hold back on speaking your mind! be honest but still say it in a polite way. yes, tt might take him a while to really soak it all in but eventually he`ll be fine with it and forget. If he cares about you he`ll know that it`s all for the right reasons, right?
good luck!

i know a lot of people who are friends with someone that likes them. and its completely normal. just let the guy know he's a really good friend to you, but nothing more. but that you cherish his friendship & dont mean to hurt him. & that you hope it wont effect your great friendship you have. but after that, it should be completely fine. good luck.

Yes, I agree with them. Tell him how you feel, it may sound mean, but he'll know at least. First off though, you can try hinting around. Like talk about other guys to him and ask him for advice on them. That might let him know that you just aren't interested... I hope that I helped! -Sahara

The only thing you can really do is tell this guy you feel.You don't want to let him think you like him so the only thing you can do is tell him that you can only think of him as a really good friend.

Same thing happened to me last skool year. let things run its course. if he aproches you, you HAVE TO let him down. make sure he gets the point that you don't like him. but dont be so harsh, or to final, by saying things like, " i will never like youu" or " dont talk to me i dont like u" or "leave me alone for good," because if you find yourself falling for him, theres no turning back.

Sometimes in this case things are better off unsaid. You dont want to hurt his feelings but i bet deep down inside he already knows you dont like him. It is just something that your heart tells you. But you might want to slip him hints like" You and I are really good friends your like my Brother!" therefore he kind of understands what you mean but your not flat out saying " i dont like you" its a better way of doing it i think
you ask, I'll answer Irishdude405

hey! well, bring it up somehow, or if you want, just wait til he brings it up...and just let him know that you still wanna be really close friends and you dont want anything to change. im sure he might be upset, i mean everyone probably would...but let him know that you can still be really good friends and that you dont want to hurt him. i hope things work out for you, and i hope i helped!! best of luck =)
xoxo love always,

well.. this is a tough spot, i know because i've been here before. Well if you and this guy are really really good friends then you probably know him pretty well so, set up a day to hang out.. do a lotta stuff he likes with him maybe watch his favorite movie with him then at the end of the day just tell him how happy you are to be FRIENDS with him and if he doesnt get the point he'll still like you but at least you told him so he cant blame you later for never telling you and he wont hurt him. but if he bluntly asks you if you like him break it to him kindly and tell him you hope your friendship doesnt go haywire over this one instance .. hope i've helped.. IM me after you try my advice if you do! AIM - brunette x5o .. im usually always on!

All I can think of is telling him that you like him as a friend and think that he's a great person and everything,you just don't want to be in a relationship with him.Or tell him that you aren't ready for a relationship,that should work.

Chances aRe he will be huRt no matteR what you say, so just be polite and be honest. Tell him you appReciate his company and you like having him aRound, it's just you do not see him in the same view as he sees you. Tell him that a Relationship between the two of you would simply be pointless if only ONE paRtneR is willing to commit; now... what type of Relationship would THAT be, ya know?? IF you explain it to him LIKE SO, I'm shoRe he will undeRstand and accept that it's foR the best.
Goodluck to you; hopefully eveRything woRks out! :D
