My Friend has a Crush on Me, but I Don't Like Him!?
I think one of my best guy friends has a crush on me. This is really upsetting, because I honestly just want to be his friend. I am not attracted to him and don't see him in "that way". The problem is, I have a feeling he is going to tell me his feelings soon. This is REALLY bad, because I don't want to hurt his feelings and I KNOW if I tell him the truth, even in a nice way, things are going to become awkward between us and won't go back to the way they were before. He's in a bunch of my classes and we hang out a lot, so if things got weird, it would suck a lot. I want to find a way to send him the message that I'm only interested in him platonically without having to say it and make things awkward. What can I do? Please help!

This is difficult, because I'm sort of in the same boat too.
But you could try ignoring him a little. Not completely, that would be mean, but just like when a conversation gets too deep, or when things seem to get a bit too comfortable, just go hang with another friend. Your relationship with him will seem a little off for a little while, but when it seems that he doesn't like you that much any more, you can just talk to him normally.
But that's a rather risky approach, because sometimes they may get mad at you or they might confront you directly about this. Most don't, but it depends on who you're dealing with.
When worst comes to worst, he'll confess his feelings to you, and you'll just have to reject him. Even then, things won't ever not go back to the way they were before. Of course, it will be awkward at first, but things take time. But before you know it, you guys will be real close again, no hard feelings.
Best of Luck.
