You could, during casual conversation mention that you're dating someone, they should get the message. If they don't you may push it a little farther by saying "I really like the guy I'm dating." If they are still so clueless simply tell them "I like you as a friend but I don't want to date you." The 'I like you as a friend' is sure to put the brakes on any guy who might be pursuing you unless he is really thick headed. in which case you're out of luck, unless you try the last desperation shot, you simply tell them together "I just can't decide which of the two of you to marry"

What is wrong with plain English? The kind that you learned in high school. You met him on-line, so send his an e-mail, or the next time that he calls, tell him straight up that you just want to be friends. You have no idea how much men prefer a straight answer -- rather that all of the silly "hints" that women drop that we never seem to understand. If you are going to have a relationship with anyone in the future, practice communicating now, so that you have the courage and the experience to bring up difficult subjects in the future with your future spouse.

I think it's sweet that you don't want to hurt their feelings. It shows your heart is in the right place.
It really is best to be honest and just straight out tell them. It will be better for you and for them so they know where they stand instead of wasting energy trying to win you over. The sooner you tell them, the better as their feelings for you could develop stronger over time if you hesitate. That, as consequence, would make it harder for them to take rejection.
Good luck.

Be honest and sincere. You don't have to be mean, but you do have to tell the truth. Accept the fact that sometimes feelings will get hurt. There is nothing you can do to stop it. You can however choose not to pour salt on the wound.

Just tell them that your with someone right now. Your completely fine with being their friends but your not the kind of girl that likes to send mixed messages,,, be honest with them... they should value you more cause your honest and they know your not going to mess around on them if they ever get the chance to be with you! ;)

That's really sweet that you are concerned about hurting their feelings.
Though I don't think they'd be that upset that you're already "taken" unless you're giving them reasons to think that you are single. I would STOP giving them such indications, and if they ever made me uncomfortable, I would immediately explain to them that I am "taken". You can do it politely, "I'm sorry [name] but I'm dating someone else right now, if you don't want to be friends anymore I can deal with that, but I will miss your companionship."
Good luck.

Just tell te guys that you're not interested with them. Or better, just tell them that you already have a bf, bring along your bf together with you to show them what you're trying to telling them.

well you can never be nice towards that kind of situation. you just need to tell them straight-forward so that there will be no more misunderstandings. just let them down easy don't stress yourself over this.

Their feelings getting hurt is unavoidable... Just start off by saying that you don't want to hurt their feelings, but...
