1 Answers
my friend used to like me, but i think he realized i didnt feel the same way, except now i think he still likes me, and i dont know what to do. i didnt want to be accused of leading him on so i started being meaner to him, except now he wants to know why i am so mean to him, and im worried about ruining our friendship. I cant come straight out and tell him i dont feel about him that way cos i dont know for sure that he still likes me, i just have a feeling. Im so confused and just dont want to ruin a good friendship!!

You need to have an honest chat with him. Explain that you care for him as a friend, and that moving the basis of your relationship would mean you loosing that special bond, and that is something you want to keep.
He will interperet the full meaning for himself, without you having to spell out that you don't find him attractive in a sexual way.
Depending on his ability / willingness to accept your position, he will either carry on being your friend, or stop because he is hurt.
Either way, you need to make sure that everyone knows where they stand - if you value his friendship, you will respect him with your honesty. The rest is something you cannont control, but either way, you have done the right thing.
