trust me girl it will never be easy to turn a guy down no matter what. no matter what he will still get hurt. the only thing i can think of is to tell him that you dont want more then a friend with him and that you dont have time for a boyfriend.

It's never easy to turn a guy down for a date because a lot of guys have such fragile egos and it's difficult not to hurt their feelings.

Explain to him that although you like him as a friend, you just don't think you could be any more than that. Reassure him that he's a nice guy and that you don't like that you have to turn him down but it wouldn't have been fair to lead him on and let him think you were interested when you weren't.

As long as you don't think it will have a negative impact on your friendship, tell him that you hope he won't be upset and you really want to still be friends, if he's okay with that.

Then all you need to do is make sure that you don't wave any future boyfriends in his face by accident!

You could say that you don't want a boyfreind right now. Or be like, You are really cool and I love being freinds with you, and I really don't want to loose that. I want to become better friends with you. You can say that you don't like him that way, or you like someone else. But compliment him like say, I feel like I can tell you anything but I don't see how this is going to work out. Or something.... he will understand, I promise <33

Hmm toughie. Just be like "I'm sorry, but I think of you more as a friend than a boyfriend" There is really no easy way of turning down a guy. But afterward, try to not make it awkward. Bring up typical conversations and just try to be nice around him

Brittany, we've all been there. My advice is think of it this way; unless you want to date him, you don't have a choice but to turn him down. There's no nice way to do this. I know that's not the answer you were looking for, but it's the sad truth. Just explain to him that it's not because your not interested (even if you aren't), but that you just aren't ready for a relationship(even if you are), or you Have a boyfriend (even if you dont). I wouldn't suggest that one, it tends to backfire.
