There is no way to tell him without hurting him. No means rejection and rejection stings a bit. Hes human but he will get over it.

At this point in my life, being as young and immature as I am, I think that all I am capable of, is to be friends. True love is built on friendship first- so who knows?...at a later time it may lead to something more- but for now- let's keep the friendship as it is.

Don't use the old 'I am scared it will ruin our friendship' line.....
I've been told that it was was worse than being told I was ugly and that the bulge in my pants is too small!
If you have built a friendship with him, that line will make him feel like that friendship is what he did wrong in approaching you.
Instead, tell him you want to continue building the friendship and spend time together, and go from there

Tell him the truth. Be honest cause if you say yes just because you don't want to hurt him....you are gonna end up hurting him more in the end. Tell him that you don't want to ruin your friendship with him cause you value what you guys have....and by dating you fear that you could possibly ruin that! Good luck!

You can't. He's going to be hurt with anything you say that isn't "Yes." The best you can do is be honest, not brutally honest though, and hope he can deal with it. It's a sticky situation.

You have to be honest with him. Rejection always hurts but dishonesty and leading him on hurts even more

Be honest with him. Just tell him that you only see him as a friend

If he really likes you ... you can't. But you can thank him for his interst but let him know up front that this is not something that will work for you.

be honest...the worst thing you can do is lead him on...but, if there is any sort of spark follow it ...the best lovers are friends 1st!
