I've been in his shoes. The best thing to do is to let him down gently and don't let him think that there's any chance. That sounds difficult, I'm sure it is. \nTry this: "I really just like you as a friend and I don't see us as anything more. I'm sorry." \nIf he asks if there's ever a chance, tell him probably not. \nHe's in a really vulnerable position right now, but he'll appreciate being let down right away rather than dealing with someone who's afraid to hurt anyone's feelings. \nDon't feel guilty...that's just the way it is.\nChances are he'll be hurt and your friendship won't be the same ever again...but that's why they call it taking a risk.\nDon't use the "you're younger" excuse, in my opinion, I would just use the "it's not you, it's me" thing. And he won't like that, he'll probably eventually not want to talk to you for awhile, but that's the way it goes. \nI'm just being honest.\nP.S.- The "jeopardizing the friendship" thing is generally looked at by guys as weak and a cover to the real reason you won't date him....my advice is to not use it.

I would recommend to tell him real softly. Try not to cause a scene but don't tell him in a note or over the phone because that might cause more problems. Just meet up with him somewhere (not at your house because that could be awkward for both of you.) and just take a deep breath and tell him.

Tell the truth.\nIf all else fails, just refuse to go out with him or write a letter.

Just tell the guy. I am in total and complete love with someone. I told him. Flat out. I let him know. And he said he loves me too. You just need to tell this person. Try to piece it together as best you can. Your feelings and everything. It doesn't have to be perfect, everything you say, but make it mean something. Let him know.

Tell him what you just said here. Ask him why he doesn't tell you what you need to hear? Most guys have a hard time expressing their feelings for some reason.

I would say tell them and tell him soon, you don't want to keep leading him on. I would also say honesty is the policy in this situation, just be honest with him let him know how you are truly feeling and why. More than likely your going to hurt him a little but as long as your honest and gentle with his feelings, I think you will both be okay.

Just be honest and talk to him about the things you said and how you were feeling at the time. That way if she says anything, he has already heard it from you. Good luck.

Tell him! Guys can't read your mind. You've got to just lay it out on that table. "Hey, I like you. Do you want to hang out sometime? I could give you my phone number if you'd like."\n\nYou could even write him a note if you're too nervous to tell him. The worst he can do is say no, and if he doesn't realize how awesome you are, he's not worth being with anyways. Good luck, dear! :]
