i don't like him more than a friend, and he's been crushing on me for awhile now, but never said he loved me... if he just means he loves me as a friend than that's fine, but i think he wants to start something.

Sometimes being straight forward can be the best thing. Ask him how he feels. And be honest with him if he says he likes you. Explain that you think of him dearly as a friend, but you're just not attracted to him any further than a friend. But try not to do anything to crush his pride: if it's b/c you're not physically attracted to him, don't put it out there that you think he's ugly. Just focus on you and him not being on the right wave-length for a relationship. It can be hard to envision a friend as something more when you've been friends for a while.
If he is your friend and really cares for you, he'll get over it, in due time. He may be hurt, give him time if so... but as long as you both remain honest with eachother, these little things should pass. Good luck to you.

What ever you do, don't lead him on. If he is truly a friend, he will understand when you tell him that you only think of him as a friend and do not want to start a romantic relationship with him. Just be honest with him and let him know how you feel and where he stands with you. It will be best for both of you in the long run and he will respect you more for letting him know the truth.

People always seem to compare new loves in their loves to old loves. It's very hard to let go of your first love. I would guess that you haven't been separated from your first love for very long. Don't worry about it, it's normal. Eventually you will find someone so perfect for you, you won't have to compare him to anyone.

Don't distance yourself from him, if you guys are pretty good friends now, that will just hurt. The easiest thing for you both to do is to tell him exactly how you feel, and continue your friendship like nothing happened. it makes it less embarrassing for him, and a lot less painful.

Start keeping your distance from him. He'll get the picture soon enough. But after a while when he gets your subtle hints, you can return to good friends as normal. That way both of you can be saved from embarrassment.

Let him down gently. Tell him you value your friendship and that you dont want to lose him as a friend, and because dating usually destroys a friendship you would rather just remain friends.
Dont beat around the bush and hurt him.

Just tell him that you're flattered by his affection but...he's like a brother to you and you don't want to take this relationship any further. If he gets all ticked off and calls you names or something, he isn't a true friend and just don't talk to him ever again. Good luck.

Hey friend. Let the things this way. It is not necessary to explain that. Think this way. You will always have one friend which you will trust. And the other side, he will always have a good friend in you. Think about it.
