    be honest because if you lead them on it will only hurt more later. tell them that you would like to Be friends and if that goes not work just leave them a lone. just do not lead them on tell them the truth.

    If they are interested you can't sorry but no matter how you say it you are going to hurt them. Bite the bullet and just be honest with them.

    ok.. this guy liked me and i turned him down (nicely) using 5 different techniques:

    1. i told him we did not know each other

    2. i told him i was moving

    3. i told him i did not like him

    (and he kept bugging me)

    4. i told him i wasn't ready for a relationship

    5. i pretended not to notice him at school (when guys really like you, they tend to see the best in you; so he actually thought i just didn't see him...)

    6. and then i repeated #4 and finally #3 one last time. He finally got it; and now he leaves me alone.
