Alright this guy I've known since September, we dont have any classes together except an after-school elective. ive noticed he flirted with me a lot, but i didnt take it too seriously since a lot of guys do that, and he kinda has a flirty personality. well recently on a school field trip he was like seriously flirting with me and its relle obvious he like worships me, like 10 people approached me and said that, even this girl he asked out a few years ago, and she said he acted the same way around her. hes really sweet and all, and funny, but hes never, ever serious, and i sincerely have no physical attraction to him at all. i know hes gonna ask me out soon and i cant help but think that if he was good looking id give him a chance. hes not exactly the coolest kid, but he has a bunch of friends. i dont know what to do. id feel horrible if i rejected him, cuz hes my friend and all. what should i do?

If he actually asks you out, say, "Sorry, but you're my best friend. I don't want to ruin our friendship." Be careful not to say 'just' a best friend, because best friends are better than boyfriends and you have to tell him that. Compliment him, "You're really sweet and cute, but I just don't think we'll work out that way." Make him feel better about himself as you reject him.
Help him hook up with another girl. Go, "I heard ____ likes you though," or, "Do you have a second option?"
