Ok, so recently I met this guy I'll call George. I was out with a few friends and we had a good time together. I had met George before that time, but I didn't really talk to him. When I did, George and I got along very well and I began to have feelings for him. The next day, I found that he liked me too. Then, the day after that, I found that my friend, Bob, likes me. Unfotunately, I do not have feelings for him other than those of friendship. I'd hate to hurt him and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions are welcome.

Just be honest with him. Tell him that you don't want to go beyond being friends. If he takes this positively, then good for you. If not, remember that you still have this "other guy" to lean on. ;)

if bob hasnt asked you out yet then keep on actin natural.
but if he does end up asking you out lay it down for him, don't throw him a bone and be like "i just don't want a boyfriend right now" because that will give him hope that in the future you will go out. so i think you should just chill out until he actually does something; or go out with George.i doubt he'll do anything then.
