well..there's this boy at my school who likes and he is really such a nice guy who deserves someone nice to like him back.How do i let him down easy,because he is really such a great person and friend!!
Be straight forward with him. Worst thing you can do is be nice to him and lead him on. He may get some idea that you are sending him mixed signals and then that can make it worse. Just be honest and set boundaries. Tell him you only want him as a friend and don't see him as anything but that. That way he can get over his feelings. Time usually heels wounds. You will actually be helping him out if you are honest. The other answers are totally spot on. Just be careful because my step sister had this guy friend that was really nice and she didn't want to hurt his feelings but then he became a real creep, almost stalker like. I'm not saying he is like that, but just better to be safe than sorry also. [ Jay33's advice column | Ask Jay33 A Question ]

I've said that in many situations and it works usually(: hope this helped! [ ChristieStorm's advice column | Ask ChristieStorm A Question ]

It is very wrong to lead someone on when there is no feelings on your side. Just tell him that althought he likes you and he is a really really sweet guy. and anyone would be lucky to be with him. Your just not the one for him. explain that you guys are very good friends and you don't want to hurt that. but you just don't feel that way.

Tell him that he's a sweet guy and a great friend and that's all you wanna be at the moment. I'm sure he will understand. Good luck! [ BoriquaGirl145's advice column | Ask BoriquaGirl145 A Question ]
