Just incorporate it into conversations, it shouldn't be a big deal to say what you like and don't like.

Tell him in a direct way that focuses on how his behavior makes you feel rather than judging him or condemning the behavior. For example, don't say something like, "God, I'm sick of your bragging! It totally annoys him!"\n\nInstead, give him some concrete examples of things he's said that annoy you. Tell him specifically why that behavior is annoying to you. If you can keep the focus on neutral facts and your own feelings rather than accusing him, you lessen the chance that he will get upset.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

Don't tell him you don't like him.\n\nTell him you don't want a relationship at this point in your life or some other reason. Just don't tell him something like: it's not you, it's me!

If you would prefer something else, tell him - is easier if you already have a phone.  If you don't want him to because you don't like him very much, don't want to feel beholden to him, then maybe tell him nicely it's too much, and suggest something else.  If you like him, but the phone is more than he can afford, tell him you'd really just like a romantic something or other (whatever it is you would like.)  Good luck, and Happy Birthday.

At the beginning, try to understand what he likes and dislikes only by yourself. Then causally, start asking him about himself. Keep your wits working. You start accommodating him before he does.Have a meaningful and productive sexual relationship which pleases both of you. Learn how to pretend and exercise pretensions according to your wits. Let him know your mind only when it suits your purpose.

having been that dorky nervous guy in a previous life, i can tell you this, you will hurt him.  No matter what you do, but how badly is something you can control. here is my suggestion:  don't slam him, don't tell him how you feel straight out.  when he is around talk about other guys your interested in, maybe talk about how you like certain things about them that he doesn't do, such as when they flirt they aren't annoying.  and when you talk to him about your relationship make it very clear that he is "like a brother" to you and that he is just such a great FRIEND.  if things get really bad you could start saying things like Jokingly saying "you are a rad friend, which is good cause i think if we ever dated We'ld kill each other."  or other things that make it obvious that you have no intention of ever taking the relationship to a higher level.

i think he would tell you or get annoyed with you but by the sounds of u2 seem happy so i wouldnt worry if i were u, just go with the flow, but if it still bothers u in a weeks time then ask him, its good to talk and be open with each other from the start as this builds the basis for a happy, loving relationship, so then you could talk to each other about anything, dont be frightened to tell him how you feel cuz he may be feelin the same,\ni hope this helps x

By just showing him that you care. Pay attention to him. Really know what he likes or doesn't like. Make him feel like he is the only man in the room. SHOW HIM YOU LOVE HIM!! By doing this, he will already know that you love him and when it is time to say it out loud, he will already know how you feel which will make saying it a whole lot easier.

I don't know if you can do this subtly but sometimes for the good of the relationship you have to voice your concerns. Be respectful of course and gentle. Not aggressive, but make them know you only mention it because you value the relationship and you want it to grow. I think you may be surprised, hopefully pleasantly.

I  prefer when a girl tells me how she likes it- different ppl like different things, and experience different stimuli, some girls whould like to be told they are sexy and hot, while others like being talked to alot dirtier. \n   I know I get alot more excited, when my partner is being satisfied.... and what works for one girl, may not work for the next.  I think both of you can only benefit from knowing what the other likes.\n  That being said, he is still a man, and they take rejection harder than you think. Tell him you like it when....., or you want him too.... make it about you.  Kinda like housebreaking a puppy you always want to use postive re-inforcement as not to damage thier egos.

you suck it up and find a constructive way to express your feelings/frusrations.  if you dont let him know how he is coming across, it will just build resentment and he possibly has no idea it is like this.  if he is aware, then throw up your hands and say to hell with it.

Tell him that you're not ready to say it and put that sort of label on your feelings. But that you feel for him. That you care about him. When my man first told me, I din't say it back. I told him That I feel for him. It made me really nervous. I told him never to say it unless he means it, because I would never say anything empty.

Tell your boyfriend that you don't appreciate his friends "attentions".  That should cure it....

The best thing to do is ask your boyfriend what he likes and get him to help you out.  Good luck.

be completely honest with him...it helps you guys to understand each other and now each others mind...he really really helps..trust me...especially telling him when he does something you don't like...it really tightens the bond

Honesty is the best policy. Tell him the truth as simply as you put it here.  Tell him quality rather then quanity. Too much hurts plain and simple. If he cares at all about you then this will take care of your problem. If he doesn't care then you shouldn't worry about hurting his feelings and tell him to just get off.
