I don't want to lead him on!
17/f
I really really like this guy at school but I am too shy to talk to him and I don't think he's too good for me anyway...
But anyway, that isn't the problem, one of his friends who is in one of my classes at school has just started talking to me, and I can tell he likes me, I also have always caught him looking at me before he started talking to me. He has only started talking to me within the past week and its very frequent. I would really like to get to know him as a friend because he sounds like a lot of fun and he is really funny but the thing is I can't do it without leading him on. I don't know him well enough to tell him this yet. I don't want to embarrass him by telling him anyway. But I really like his friend so what should I do?

You should be honest with both of them.
First of all, you should tell the boy who likes you that you're only interested in a friendship. Tell him you don't view him in a romantic ways, but really want to build a friendship with him. Clear that up with him as soon as possible so you don't, in fact, end up leading him on.
Then, just tell the boy you like that you like him! As I always say, life is far too short to sit around wondering what could've been, what would've been, and what should've been. Just go for it! ;]

The truth hurts.
Telling someone the truth also hurts.
I know it's difficult but there is a way to tell him that you only want to be friends and still keep the hurt to a minimum (it's impossible to do this without hurting him). You said that you like another guy, try openly expressing your feeling for that guy whenever the guy that you want to be just friends with is around. But you should still keep talking to him the way that you do normally. This way you will show him that you would still want to be friends with him and still give him the idea that that's all that it is, friendship.
