MelLeDisko answered Monday September 25 2006, 4:11 pm: You just need to talk to him about it. Just let him know you only like him as a friend now - nothing more. You're not trying to be mean or rude or anything, you just feel he should know so he's not sitting there thinking you are anymore so it's not as awkward. Maybe start it out that way. Just be like,"Have you noticed our friendship has sort of gotten awkward lately? I've been talking to some people, and they say it's because you still think I like you. Not to be rude or anything and burst your bubble, but I don't, lol. :P" and just play it off as a joke. And just let him know you want to remain good friends. I hope I helped.

If you explain it to him and tell him you still want to be friends then i am sure he will understand. [ biker_chic's advice column | Ask biker_chic A Question ]

If you play up the fact that you really like him as a friend you avoid the possibility of hurting him with rejection.
Try pointing out the positives of friendship, for example if you were to date and then finish, you would lose him as a friend altogether.
