This guy keeps on calling me and texting. I answered one of his calls and talked to him so he would stop calling him. But he's still calls me several times a day.
How can I turn him down without hurting his feelings?

Just say like "Look, I think you're a very nice person and have a great personality, but I don't see this going farther than our friendship now, and to be honest, I'm not ready to be in a relationship. Sorry, and I hope you understand". Or something like that. Good luck! ;-)

Put your foot down and have him realize that he has no chance with you. The key here is that You cannot be nice about it and his feeling has to be hurt. Its the only way he will learn.
If there is one right of passage that every man needs to face is the concept of rejection. Because rejection will always be a part of the social life and it is NOT suppose to hurt. You may not understand this, but its healthier than getting heart broken over nothin. He should laugh about this down the road if he just understand that there are other oppurtunities.
But I think the best way to handle this is by not answering his calls and his text messages. Dont be nice about this. Its your life and you already moved on....

When you answered his call, he thought you were interested. So that would not be a nice way to turn him down. You can't do it without hurting his feelings, but the sooner the better so it won't hurt as badly. I would tell him that he is a nice guy , but just not right for you. You need not explain a thing.

Simply be honest. Tell him that you are not interested in him romantically, and that you do not have time to answer his calls all day. Explain that the reason you are being honest is because you don't want him to have false hope, since you "care about him as a friend".

He might want to easily be at a loss for words and fairly favor a even as to imagine about it. He might want to also like you yet not fairly opt to be thinking a relationship immediately, so he's torn between announcing sure or no. regardless of the case, solid success day after today!

girl i know the feeling look the best thing to do is let him down gently without hurting his feelings thats the best option i can give you if he is looking for something more you need to put your foot down and make it clear to him that you are not interested if not he will continuly call you and until you snap and thats not a good thing just give him a stern talking to but do ti nicely so he understands you if not just avoid his calls

next time you see him in person, look him in the eye and tell him " i like you as a friend and nothing else. Please don't call me and text me so much, I don't like you like that. I'm sorry, but if you continue with it, i don't even want to be you're friend anymore" this should stop it (i have used this line several times and me and the guys i tell this to aren't mad and we usually can stay friends with no problems) if he doesn't threaten him with harassment and change your number, usually you can loose them after that

Probably can't. But you could try telling him he's getting you into trouble calling that many times a day or week. You might be able to get him to only call once a week if you work it right.

There is no nice way to do it. His feelings are going to get hurt no matter what. Just be honest(but not too honest). He will thank you for it later.

Explain to him that you have someone in your life and that as friends you would love to talk but that he is crowding your space, maybe that if he wouldn't call so much maybe you would enjoy talking to him as friends.
