How do you say NO to a friend who's in love with you and still keep him?

Always remember to be honest and open. Everyone knows that unrequited love sucks so just handle him with care. If your friendship really is something special he isnt going anywhere.

I've never had that happen to me, but I understand it. Some friendships can be so understanding and caring and you wish there was more to it. But, I don't think I'd ever cross that line. Simple because I don't want any awkwardness that might come along with making that transition from friends to something more. Personally, I'd avoid it, but more power to relationships that have been made stronger because of this. So, the best thing to do is just keep him as a friend, if you're not interested. And treat him no differently after he made his confession.

Just follow your heart. I think you should just tell him how you feel, be honest with your feelins. Im sure he'll understand you. Or maybe give your self a time to think, maybe you'll realize that your love him:D

i think the best way to solve this is just to come straight forward with it. Just be honest and explain him your feelings, talk with him.. i'm sure if you explain it carefully, he'll understand and you guys should be able to keep your friendship.. it would be a shame to ruine your friendship for this. Probably you're scared that this will change everything, that's normal, so make sure you don't start to avoid eachother after you told him.. keep being normal and friendly with him and everything will be allright :)

when people are very close and share almost every conversation and are at ease with one another for a long time sooner or later such may happen. it's natural between people. just say what you feel. I rather keep an honest friendship than live a lie. ;)
