"I'm sorry but I can't date you because I can only see you as a friend".....was what I'm planning to say but, that's so HARSH! Is there a nicer way to put it? He's my best bud so I really want us to still be able to remain as friends and things will go normally after i turn him down.
(Giving him a chance is slightly impossible due to certain reasons)

Since I've recently been "turned down" I can say with all honesty that anything besides "yes" feels harsh, but it's infinitely preferable to being strung along forever, and it makes moving on so much easier. Do whatever you feel you must.

Dear ______, You know that we have a wonderful friendship and I do not think I could find another no matter how hard I look. I think about you alot, but not as anything more than a friend. I thought about what it might be like for us to be together as a couple but I would hate losing you as a friend because I just don't see us being able to maintain a relationship and if I were to lose you as a friend I think I would never recover. You have always been a great understanding friend and I hope you can understand.

only slightly impossible? this guy could really be the one and your going to let him go. this guy all ready knows you better than any one else, and even though he knows all of your faults(sorry no ones perfect!!) he still wants to be with you. think about it. but in any case just be honest don't be scared to tell him you are afraid to lose him as a friend if it doesn't work out.

it really is not incorrect to teach a lady down, it completely relies upon on the way you imagine and what you're delicate with. It fairly relies upon on the courting and the information between both. some females ask because they imagine that by using asserting that they prefer to sleep with you receives you extra in contact, and for some adult men its real. you fairly should not be stricken by using what different females imagine of you once you convey your critiques on the count number number. it really is actual astounding to take heed to that not all adult men imagine a similar even as it is composed of slumbering with their girlfriends. by using a lady asking if she will sleep with you makes you lose any understand you had for her.

that's a horrible excuse, just tell him you are not attracted to him. Honesty is always the best policy. Don't blow sunshine up his a**, put it straight.
