How do I tell him I just wanted to be friends?

There is a round about method to get out of this.  Treat him like a friend and confide to him that you like someone else.  He will realize your interested in someone and not him and yet you won't have brought his feelings for you into the open and will have given him a way out.

well i'm going through the same thing as you!!!! it's terribal he just wants to be friends but that just wont work for me! you have to tell him that you want to be just more than friends and keep flurting with him who can resist a cute smile and a funny personality.

not much u can do besides let him know how u feel and see what he says... u dont have nothing to lose... if he only wants to b friends then you will just have to accept the friendship..........

Hello, Well you could try to be his friend, but you couldn't have a normal friendship because there would allways be that feeling of rejection that he had toward you. And the fact that he's acted like an *** in the past probably means that that the future with him wouldn't be too solid. Really the best thing to do is find another guy to start new with - because I think what you really want is more than a friend relationship and that's a love relationship...right?  You can speak to him and have a casual frienship but look somewhere else for a guy who can make you feel special...Love is what you really want...and I hope you find it...good luck ...ok? ....bye bye

Just say, "Look, I think you're awesome, and I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything like that, but right now, I'd rather be just friends with you instead of boyfriend-girlfriend.  Later on, who knows?  But for now, let's just stay friends."

Send him an email- letter- note anything telling him how you feel. If he feels the same way, hopfully he does, he should talk to you about it. But even if he doesn't, don't be afraid to be friends.

you should just tell him that you real like him and at the time you called it off because you didn't know if he felt the some way you did and you didn't want to mess up your friendship

Simple. Walk up to him and say 'Look, I know we are not together anymore. I just want say that you are my friend and I care about you still. Please understand that you are important in my life and I value your friendship.'\n\nKeep it basic and be kind with your words and he will understand. I promise :)

Try to gain his friendship first, then tell him how you feel.  If he feels the same way you would not have to wait too long.\n\nYou cannot make someone want to be with.

Tell him that you're interested in going out for a drink and getting to know him on a more personal level. See how he reacts. Talk about your old relationships and see how he reacts to that as well. You should be able to tell if he's feeling you. If it seems like he's shying away from the topic, it's best just to come out and tell him you have feelings for him. A lot of beating around the bush just leads to confusion. If you're straightforward with him you'll get an honest reaction. \nIt's hard to talk about these things with people we've befriended first. There is always a chance that unearthing your feelings might drive him away.. but it's much better to take the chance and get it out in the open. Make sure you think it through first. If this is the sort of fellow you can see yourself with in a forever sort of way.. and not just a skin-deep level.. then you know what you have to do. I know it sounds cliche'.. but follow your heart. You'll know what's best for you.

simply tell him that ur sorry but, your feelings are not what they once were for him, and if he wantsyou guys can be friends. Or u can tell him that u two would be better off as friends.

you should tell him and ask him if he want's to still be your friend. You can say "Hey you know I like you but it's just that I don't want to have a relationship with you. Maybe we can still be friends"

be honest with your boss. if you only want to be friends just tell him in a nice way that you find it difficult to date any one that you really like as a friend and you cherish your friend ship, so you don't want to let sex or any thing else come in between your relationship because a Friend is hard to find and easy to loose

Tell him \n"I'm sorry I am not interested in dating you, but i would like to go out with you sometime just as friends."\nIf he doesn't want to be friends after that, then you know that he was only befriending you because he liked you.  That is not what makes a good friend.\n\nOUCH "LALA" that is the opposite of what she wants to do.  B**CHY much!?

If he's someone you're interested in, tell him you want to be friends first. Get to know him before making such a major commitment with him. Hec...tell him you want to try getting married before you pop out any kids. If he's really into commitment, (and you), he'll stick around.

Then tell him exactly that.  Tell him that you really love him as a friend, but you appreciate him as a friend so much that you wouldn't want things to become screwed up between you.

You have to talk to him and make him see you want to be friends but the love relationship is over.  Best if you can put some physical space between yourself and this guy.
