Have you ever heard the saying 'sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind'? Well, if you modify that to 'sometimes you have to be honest in a nice way to help yourself and other people', then you're in the right frame of mind to sort this problem out.

Basically, it's not your responsibility that your friend likes you, nor are you the guardian of his emotions. The best way is to gently but firmly let him know that you have no romantic feelings towards him and that you are deeply in love with your boyfriend.

Honesty is always the best policy. If you hang back and don't say anything out of fear of hurting his feelings, you're actually doing him more damage in the long run. Better he know how the situation stands so he can move on!

Best of luck.

If its buggin you, you need to let that guy friend go! What he is doing is waiting for you to break up with this bf that you love. You need to tell him that you love your bf and that Friend/Stalker needs to find someone that will love him instead of waiting for you to break up with your guy. That will let him go, sure he'll be a little sad, but then again, who wants a Friend/Stalker? Ach not me!

Hope it helps!

Melanie

Ok, trust me, this thing happens all the time. Don't worry. If your friend cares about you at all, then he'll understand you're in love. But, if he is making such a huge deal about it, & he won't just face it, then set him straight. Tell him that if he can't be happy for you, then there is no room in your life for him. I mean come on! A girl finds true love - When this happens, no one wants the relationship to go down the drain. I hope this advice helps!

~Sincerely,

there's different kind've things you can do. maybe you should juss talk to him & tell him that you really love your bf & you don't want to do anything to ruin the relationship you guys have. maybe you should juss tell him exactly how you feel straight out, yeah it could be mean, but you also want to be honest with him. you should have your bf talk to him & he should say that he doesn't appreciate another guy liking you & bothing you & stuff. i guess he could get depressed, but he should realize that you have a bf & you don't like him.

-hope that helped!&hearts;

Tell him you love your boyfriend and if he is a true friend, he should back off. Try and introduce your friend to other girls so he can get his mind off you. Tell him that you still want to be friends but nothing more. Be nice about it..but firm. If he doesn't back off then that means he's kind of obsessed and that would be scary. If he's really your friend, he would want you to be happy.

okay first you need to confront your friend.dont PURPOSELY hurt him but tell him its uncomfortable to you that he's acting as if he's stuck to you.tell him it's okay that he likes you but you're taken and you want him to respact that and keep your space.also tell him you really dont WANT to hurt him in any way but it's reality.

you're in love with you're boyfriend dont let anyone ruin that feeling...but dont be too harsh.

johanna.
-i hope this helped!

Hey Hun!&hearts;
well, i know what you are going through right now. does your boyfriend even know that this friend of yours likes you? okay, so here`s the deal. your gonna have to make a descion.

-Choice One: go up to the friend that likes you and sit down with him or stand up or whatever lol, and be like: "i appreciate your feelings, and im not saying that you have to stop liking me or anything, but i have a boyfriend that i care about very much, and i cant be like anything more than a friend to you."

-Choice Two: be like prancy and flirty with him ( if you are that type ) and keep your boyfriend as your boyfriend, but dont like hide things form him or like flirt with this other dude behind his back or anything. i wouldnt want oyu to becomelike the evil whore or somehting, but ya thats about it with that one.

* or, you can just lay low, and maybe let your boyfriedn have a tlak with this guy, and not like set him straight but have him explain maybe that your totally into him [your boyfriend] and hes sorry for the inconviece? lol well, i cant tell you what to say there, but i hope i helped, and if you have any other questions or advice for me, please drop it in my inbox.

H&hearts;PO i HELPED! `*CHRiSTINA

First, how do you feel for your friend? This is one question that you need to ask yourself. You need to sit down and explain to your friend that you only like him for a friend and that you value your friendship. Include him when you go out with your boyfriend and friends. Find a girl that he may be interested in and help him get a girlfriend. There are many things that you can do to help your friend be as happy as you are.
