How do I tell him I only see us as friends?

There's this guy who I met on a dating site. He's really a nice guy and seems to like me a ton. The problem is that he is like the complete male version of one of my friends. (Except she's an atheist and he's a christian) How do I tell him I don't like him the same way he likes me?

    Just be honest and upfront and tell him outright. Honesty is the best policy.

    Personally I don't really see this as a problem, none the less it must be for you. Be kind and empathatic when doing it; maybe say somethung along the lines of "hey *blahblah,* I don't really know how to say this, and I'm sorry for doing it quite so abruptly, but I think it needs to be said before either of us get the wrong idea here- you're a truly lovely, and magnificent friend, however to me, I think that is what you shall always be; a friend. *give reason here* I'm sorry if I've made this awkward now, but I really hope I haven't, because you really are a great friend to have and I know for sure, I'll always value our friendship. Nevertheless, I do think it needed to be said, sorry, Jewels."

    Yes, this is only a rough idea, but you need to be kind, caring and compliment them. Let them know you didn't mean to lead them on if they felt that you indeed have done, you apologise. It's hard to say but don't drag it out because else it will be harder for both of you. Good luck xxx
