I like this guy but I know that there's no practicallity behind liking him so I want to stop. How?

I have this guy friend/guy aquaintance. Half the time we are friends, half the time we are aquaintances. He is one of the more intelligent people I know and we get along when we actually want to. He is probably one of the best guy friends I have ever had. He used to be more of an aquaintance that I talked to just every now and then but we talk on much more of a regular basis now. I keep denying that I am attracted to both him and his personality and, really, everything about him. But the truth is that I really have a thing for him. I personally don't think a relationship between us is plausible. Firstly, because I don't know if he reciprocates my feelings and secondly because it's all slightly complicated. I admit, if he asked me out I would probably say yes. But I don't know how wise that decision would be. I guess what this question boils down to is: How do I make myself not like my "friend", and is there any possible way I can not like him and still maintain my friendship with him?

    I say let him make the first move. If you feel that you like him so much, then use some body language techniques until he catches on that you are interested in taking it to the next level.

    Just be persistent without "throwing yourself at him." Subtle is key.

    If you let him know 'straight out' that you want to take your relationship to the next level, then things could get awkward and uncomfortable for him.

    If he catches on to your body language communications, then it will be a natural event for him, and you. That way, you will know that he is attracted to you organically, in more of an intimate way, than if you had pressed him into it.

    Well when do you guys go from being friends to acquaintances? If that happens to coincide with you being with some other guy, than he probably feels the same way about you, and doesn't want to be just your friend which he knows would happen if you are with someone else. Id say more information is needed, but you could always just ask him, what do you have to lose?

    I stopped liking one of my friends when I got to know her goofy side that is just funny and cool to be around but not romantically my match.

    The feelings and awkwardness went away and now we talk all the time and she's more like my wingman lol

    Just add casual conversation to it, joke around do things in groups. If you have to, take a break for a while do other things with other people without mentioning anything.

    Trust me they go away. STOP thinking about those feelings and they will go away.

    I married my best friend - he was the one I wrote off at 1st to!! He was the one I thought was crazy, to far away, partied to much, was not interested in me [he had a girl when we met] had to many strings attached. It was funny because we kept talking, sometimes for 3 hours at a time, he stopped parting to stay in and talk to me.

    What I am saying here until you go out with him, talk to him more and give it some time you will not know for sure. If you like him you like him, that will not change. I would see if he wants to go out, get to know him better and see what happens.

    What's so complicated about it? Are either of you involved with someone? Maybe you're talking more because he's into you too. Life is short. You're going to go out with him based on what you said so save yourself the aggravation. Go out have a good time and take it slow.

    Tell him how you feel. It sounds crazy but I've been in the same situation as you and I told him I had a crush on him and he told me he didn't feel that way and then it was easier to move on because I knew there couldn't be anything between us. So take a risk...I mean you never know! Good luck!

    I, too, love "supply up and Stare" greater suitable than "make an apology". perchance by using fact Timberland does not take the credit like he did in "make an apology". you should additionally objective listening to "Say (All i want) from OneRepublic! it fairly is not any longer as sturdy as "supply up and Stare" even though it does have a sturdy lyrics and rhythm!!
