My friend's had a crush on Steven since forever, but he likes me. He's told me that and he keeps inviting me to the movies. Everytime I suggest someone come with us he makes some dumb excuse. I'm really good friends with him and I kind of like him, but I don't want to hurt my friend. How do I tell him I'm not interested without telling him that my other friend likes and without making him hate me???

I had the same problem in second grade. I thought about putting on ugly clothes and look like someone he will not want to go for. And change your name. If that does not work act twice as ugly.
Simply state: I like you as a friend, But i am not ready to get involved in a relationship at this time. Can we remain as friends? This will let him know that you still care about him as a person, But not in a romantic way. Yes he will be disappointed, But he will get over it. This way you are honest with him and yourself, And he should respect your opinion as well. I hope this will help you.
