Have a sit down with him and tell him that you don't want a boyfriend, nor anyone to think that you have one! Don't forget to mention that you thimkl hes a great guy and that you don't want this to ruin your friendship!!

Although if none of that crap they tell you in school about how to handle a problem like this works then go with the "NO GET OFF OF ME!"
loves2shop86 answered Monday May 22 2006, 6:01 pm: hey!! alright this guy likes you, and he needs to realize that you don't like him ASAP because you don't want to lead him on and hurt him even more in the end. i can see why it bothers you when he puts his arms around you and stuff, and honestly there isn't much you can do other than tell him that you don't want him to do it or just take his arms off of you. you don't have to be harsh about it... just playfully pull away when he does it. after a couple of times, he will deffinitely get the hint!
as far as letting him know that you don't like him... you don't have to tell him that straight up, but what you CAN do is bring up the fact that you like this other guy to him or to a group of people while you guys are talking. you can just say something like "___ is so cute!" or "i really like ___ a lot"... something like that! that way he will know that there is someone you are interested in, and it is not him. at first he might be hurt and even ignore you for a bit, but that's just because he is trying to get over you! if that is the case, let him go for a little bit, and once he is healed you guys can be friends again! :) let me know if you need more help! good luck!
