Let him down nicely...

No. I have a crush on him. I like him as more than friends...

I am trying to get to know him better. Like I have said before I fear it may just be a crush and nothing serious.

As for rejecting him. I know that he will have to get used to it but I'm not sure what to tell him...

I mean you love him as if he were part of the family!

I guess...?

Awww girl, life is hard, we have to make difficult decisions.
The guy you immensely like you have said does not feel the same about you, and there are others lurking somewhere, you need to try, and give this guy a chance. Experiment?= although this is the wrong word to use.

Thing is I have never had anyone fancy me in the way that he claims to...
So you think I should try him out?

"Thing is although I really like him I don't feel I know him enough to date him."

Well how are you meant to get to know him better without "dating"? Do you even know what this means? It doesn't mean you're boyfriend and girlfriend it's just another word for getting to know each other and seeing whether it's possible to be in a relationship with each other.

I think so, especially considering you like him
And if you do decide to do so please tell me how it went, I would love to know.

But for now I only want to be friends with him. Nothing more. I don't want to lead him on with no reason...

Don't worry I will

Don't lead him on, just be honest with what you want. Tell him what you told us.

Awwww thank you
I hope my advice was beneficial somehow.

How do I do that without hurting him?

I'm sure I'll use it tonight when I see him

Yay!
The glories of dating

You tell him you're not looking to date right now. Putting it without hurting him is only going to give him the wrong impression, don't be that girl who is like "you're such a nice guy, etc..."

It's stressful!

Is it?
I would not know... haha
I'll ask you for future advice as you are a pro

I'm the worst when it comes to relationships! Especially my own!
