I have this guy who likes me... a lot. I'm only 11 and I dont know how to tell him Im not ready for all this without hurting him? I really just like him as a friend and I think he is the greatest friend EVER and I don't want that friendship to fade away. When he asked me if I liked him, I told him I didn't know and I'd tell him soon. the only reason I told him that is becuz I didn't want to say yes and make him think there was sumthing there when only he feels it. I really need advise. PLZ HELP ME!!!!!

I would advise telling him exactly what you just said. That your not ready and you just want to be friends.

I thought for a moment that you didn't like your friend. Now i understand, you don't have a crush on him. Tell him what you said, that you like him very much as a friend, and you don't want to ruin that by starting a romance. Tell him that at your age, friendships last much longer than romances, and you want to have him around longer, so you prefer friendship.

Tell him what you just said that you think he is the very best friend and that friend ship is all you are ready for! Buy him a friendship card!

ok then... gently and honestly try to tell him the truth (you know the terms... you both have the same age and speak the 'same language') in order to keep things simple you have to be honest with him... especially if it makes you nervous... if the friendship fades away then it means the guy wasn't ready to face an honest answer... just remember to treat him like you would like someone else in your situation to treat you and you can't go wrong!
goodluck!

Child, child , child you are only 11 yeras old. You are to young to even think that your could be his grilfriend. So assume he is 11 yrs. old too right? So just tell him that no, you only like him as your amigo. And that you are not ready to like someone that way. Take good care and keep up your grades and be good.

Just tell him you like and respect him as a friend but you are not ready for any more of a relationship than that.

Be honest. Tell him you like him as a friend and that you value his friendship, but you're too young / not ready for anything beyond that and hope he understands.

Just be honest with him. Tell him that you only what a friendship with him and nothing more. If he's a true friend he'll understand.

You've got to let it down gently.
Tell him that you think its better if you are friends.
Its not that you don't like him, you just arent ready..
tell him not to take it in a bad way and give him a hug.
