I'm fairly proficient in Spanish, but I don't really know how to get this idea across in Spanish.
I have a Spanish speaking friend that likes me, but I don't like him in *that* way. I'm planning out what to say when I tell him that I don't like him like that, but I want to let him know that I still want to be his friend. In English, I would want to tell him something like: "I would much rather be your friend than nothing at all."
I was thinking of something like this: "Pero preferiría más ser tu amiga que nada". Does that sound OK to you? It doesn't sound quite right to me, though I'm not sure why. Suggestions? Alter the phrasing as you see fit, because the idea might be a little hard to translate.
Muchas gracias
(PS-- Please, people, No online translators!! I may not be fluent, but I can tell when something sounds silly. Oh, and yes, I do know all the vulgar words, so none of that, please.)
