ok i liked this guy in 7th grade... and now i'm in 8th grade and he asked me out... i don't like him anymore and (to tell the truth) he's kinda a geek! i know i shouldn't not go out w/him b/c he's a geek... it's b/c i don't like him... i was talking to my friends and they think that it must've taken a lot of courage to ask me that... and it'll probably break his heart if i turn him down... so would this be a good and easy way to let him down?
-right now i don't think i can handle a boyfriend w/volleyball, orchestra, and school because it'd be too hectic. i like you as my friend and i want to stay friends.. but nothing more-
would that be too harsh?

Let him know that you can't handle a boyfriend right now and that you only like him as a friend. He can't force you to be in a relationship with him. Listen to your heart, dont let your friends tell you what to do. Let him know that maybe one day you guys might be more than friends, but you guys have to go through things now.

Because you'll get their hopes up and then you'll HAVE to be honest sooner or later. So just tell him that you're really not interested but of course be sweet about it. And just say your life is hectic and he should get it. Yeah, he'll be disappointed and all, but nothing he cant get over. That's life. Well, hope i helped and good luck with that gurl!!!

I think that would be fine! He will probably be a little sad, but you will have told the truth, and still have a great friendship!
