I care for her as a brother but not as a boyfriend?
And do girls appreciate that?

You have to be honest. Just let her know you value her friendship and want to remain as such. Make sure she knows this is the reason.
If you come forth, open and honestly now... she might understand better and you won't lose a friend!
Main thing-- don't lead her on.
We appreciate openess when guys know how to handle it maturely.

First of all, unless she is acting in a different manner, your use of the word friend suggests that her default behavior is already as an acquaintance. In this event, just keep on doing what you have been doing. Now, should she start seeming to want to change the relationship, THEN you can speak up.
Secondly, it is with great caution that I confide in you an often untold fact by the media: not every girl is searching for a "boyfriend". No doubt she will greatly appreciate having a guy watch her back without staring at her butt. If she doesn't, return to the first section of this answer.

No girls do not appreciate that. I know because it happened to me. The best thing to tell her is that you don't feel the same way and leave it at that. Maybe add that you respect her and it wouldn't be fair to her to lead her on in any kind of way. There is nothing you can say that won't hurt her feelings. Be prepared for some tears and anger and later maybe the cold shoulder.

Well depends if you have been going out as boyfriend and girlfriend or not. If you are just friends I am sure she appreciates that you love her as a sister, and dont have romantic interest in her. Tell her straight how you feel and make sure there is no room for misintuperation.

Be honest and direct with her. Otherwise the misunderstanding will grow bigger with time and one sided feelings.
She may be hurt on the information, but I think she will appreciate that in the longer term.
Pick the right time and be prepared to cool her by displaying what a brotherly love should be. At all time be cautious over the difference between what a bf love and a brotherly love is.

Is she a man or woman? She / Boyfriend / Brother? Mean sister? This a pet?

Make sure you do it in person, just the 2 of you, and camly let here know, dont be to soft about it, cause she might start thinking that its going to change the relationship.
And yes, we appreciate that, we dont have to keep wondering "does he like or not?"

Nothing is complex if you don't make her misunderstand. No better way is that you should tell her about your true feelings. There are lots of situations as yours that make the girls misunderstand ! Take a straight talk with her!

well dont say anything.. Just don't act like her boyfriend.. Otherwise u will lead her on and that will be bad.. Just hang out like friends.. she will get the pic. You could also say hey look at that guy over there, I think he is looking at u, go talk to him.. Then she will see u r not attached to her like that.
