boy help!
There's this kid in my school. He's like a best friend to me. But he told me he likes me. I don't want us not to be friends anymore. But I don't like him like that. He's like a brother to me. But I don't want to tell him that I don't like him. I don't want to break his heart. What should I do? Please help!

you should tell him the truth, tell 'em that you think of him as a brother and though you dont like him like that you really dont want to loose him.

its not good to keep your feelings locked away you'v got to sit your friend down and tell him how you feel but make it clear it dosent change your friendship good luck x x x

wow, i'm in the same exact situation,
so, what i did is, i told him that i just liked him as a friend and that's all :) just make that clear to him, tell him you value his friendship, and you don't want to loose him as a friend :) don't be a bitch about things, be nice, :) and just play it cool, missy.

Well he did say he liked you... He didnt ask you out. So..You can just smile and brush it off.
You should tell him you dont like him that way because 'you're like a best friend to me.' and that you dont want anything to ruin it.
Its better to just tell him that instead of keeping him waiting.. and he might get the wrong idea that you do like him.

I know you don't want to hurt him, but if you're not honest with him you're probably only going to be continuing this even longer and it'll only hurt him MORE in the end.
Just the next time you talk to him, explain to him that you're sorry, but you only like him as a friend, and you really hope this doesn't ruin your friendship because you don't want anything to become awkward and whatnot. I'm sure since he likes you enough, he figures he'd rather have you as a friend then nothing at all, and sure it MIGHT be a little awkward hanging around eachother at first, but if you both make an effort to just push it past you and move on, then everything should be able to get back on track.
I hope I helped.

Even though it seems like a terrible thing to do, you're going to have to make it clear to him that you don't return the feeling, otherwise you'll just be stringing him along. Obviously he'll be upset, but he'll thank you for it in the long run, and you'll know that it's the right thing to do.
However, just because you have to tell him this, it doesn't mean that you have to break his heart. Tell him how much he means to you as a friend, and he may even find that he's confused feelings of friendship with love. He may need time to recover, but promise to be there for him and show him how you prefer to be friends with him.
It'll be tough at first, but the alternative is allowing him the slow and grim realisation that, actually, you're just not interested, and I'm sure you wouldn't want that!
