Just tell him the truth. You won't break his heart if you stay friends and if you let him down easily.

If he asks you out, tell him your sorry, but you don't like him that way, tell him your really sorry, and you still want to be friends....he'll get over you soon enough...don't lead him on

if you tell him what you told me then that is a good way to express your feelings. If he doesn't like you then, he is not the right guy for you. I bet your a great girl and he missed out on someone terrific!☺\n                                   ☺♥♫ Your friend,\n                                                            Chuchi

well you could do a few things:\n1. Hang out with him and your frineds and his friends.\n2. Get to be good friends with him but not too good friends becuase then it will be awkward dating him.\n3. find out why he doesn't like you and fix it if you can.

Continue doing what you are doing because apparently it's working. There is no bad blood and you two are getting along so don't change on him, because that will not guarantee that i will stay like that, and if you like him, its best to keep it as friends thats from experience unless he has expressed that he likes you. If not then you gotta suck it up because its better to have not said anything and keep him as a close friend than to say something and chance losing him as a friend.

If you like him then just tell him and he will be flattered even if he doesn't like you back.  Who doesn't like flattery?\nIf you aren't the brave type then ask general questions like, "So what kind of things do you like in a girl?" Hopefully he'll start listing traits you have and that will give you a clue.

tell him the truth, tell him that u dont like him that way and u would really prefer to stay friends. and tell him that you hope that wont effect ur friendship too much cause you really value his friendship

well you gotta think about the reasons you don't want to like him any more if hes done you wrong once hell do you wrong every time.if he didn't do you wrong to your knowledge still he did because boys know when you like them if he didn't like you back he should have confronted you instead of leading you on in ways.soon you'll start to think of his flaws and move on.good luck

ok i have been through the same thing just tell your friends you like him and if they judge you they are not really your friends \njust let him know how you feel it is very hard to bring your feelings out there in the open but at least he knows that you are strong enough to actually tell him that but just  first go up to him and tell him that you would like to be his friend and ask him if that is ok and then as soon as you guys become friends you will grow into a more deeper relationship tell him what is on your mind and also let him know if he is doing something wrong but that is the only help i can give you doll face good luck

Ok blue, i know how u feel, so talk to him about your feelings. A guy friend of mine liked me but i didnt cause i just like him as a friend, just like what ur going through. It sucks i know, but i went up to him and asked him if we can talk and so i told him i dont have the same feelings for you. Plus ask him if he is willing to put your guy's friendship on the line if u guys go out, you know what i mean? You guys are probably good friends, right? I know u dont want to loose that,so let him no that. Speak ur mind and he should respect that no matter what.

Whatever u do, don't tell everyone who likes who. This will just make everything pretty confusing... \n\nIf he doesnt like u, he doesnt like u. But u can try to be friends and maybe he'll change his mind later on once he knows you better.

I think you need to ask him about it and tell him how you feel but dont scare him off. Say something like i am beggining to kinda like you...But if you are not into me then i would love to still be friends. But tell him that no matter what happens i want to still be your friend.

Well if this guys likes you a lot, it's tough. There's no easy way to go about it, but the best thing is to be honest and let him know how you feel about him. If you tell him he probably wont want to be your friend because he'll be hurt so don't expect him to be cool about it. Just be honest and if you'll be friends it'll be up to him if he can accept you as such.

If you have a problem with opening up to people face to face, the easiest way is to write him a letter or get him a card that has something very basic on the front. Like it might say, I like you.....and then inside write how you feel, but that you don't want it to ruin your friendship....then leave the ball in his court. If he doesn't seem interested or feel the same, then it wasn't meant to be. But I would definitely do it, because you never know unless you try!
