Let him down gently. Make sure don't send mix messages to someone you don't feel the same. I assume that he showed all the signs that he's in love with you. Otherwise, it would be awkward if you turn him down.

Tell him that you're flatter that he feels that way about you. However, you'd prefer to keep the friendship than ruining it. Don't accept any presents or gifts that he gives you. Continue talking to him but don't be overly friendly.

Some men don't know the word no, If he keeps assisting on you two getting together and you personally don't want to ,then let him know that if he cannot take no for an answer that he will no longer be a friend of yours, due to not respecting your wishes on just remaining frineds

pretend that you don't know that he likes you. just go about your usual business. Hopefully he realizes that your not interested and backs off. Your more likely to damage the friendship if you guys openly talk about it, i think.

well try 2 talk 2 him and ask him gently who he likes then start suggesting great girlz 4 him and if keeps sayin no then ask him who does he like and if he says u try to b like oh thats sweet but... think of somethin 2 say

HOPE THIS HELPS

say i would like to be only friends, i think our friend relationship would be better than being closer
