Hey
There is this kid at school that is in my English class Ill call him "Jason" and he flirts with me all the time. I try not to flirt back because I dont like him that way. His best friend was talking to my friend and he said that "jason" is gonna ask me out. This is really bad because I dont want to break his heart. I would go out with him because he is really nice and stuff but the thing is that i have had a crush on this kid "Paul" for more than a year now. So my question is do i give up on "paul" who i really really really like and go out with "jason" or do i just tell "jason" that i dont have feelings for him. Omg please help I really dont want to hurt "Jason"!!!!!
If you've liked this guy for a year now I suggest you try to talk to him, there's not point in liking someone and only wishing you had them, make a move on him!!!!!!!!!! hello!!!!!!!
Then..... If things don't work out as well as you hoped they would, put it aside! Don't dwell on it forever! There will be plenty of other opportunities around!
On the other hand, you said you would go out with 'Jason' because he's nice and all, well there's your other opportunity if things fail with 'Paul' BUT.. If you don't really like this 'Jason' that much well then tell him how you feel.
If you say yes to go out with him and you don't really have feelings for him, it will only work out for the worst! You will hurt 'Jason' in the long run and you will more then likely be uphappy because your not with the guy you want to be!

Most ways you look at it, your using Jason. You could always tell him the situation, if he says he's willing to take the chance that you will start to like him, go out with him. Overall, I think that you need to be honest with him. Tell him that it's not that you don't like him but it's that you've liked someone else for a very long time. Apologize a lot and tell he's a really sweet guy and maybe at another time you would also tell him that it's not his fault.
Hope this Helps.

Make sure you are gentle not to hurt his feelings but still let him know that you dont see him that way.
