I have no idea whether it's true since he has never told me directly, but my friends have said that this seems to be the case. He offers to help with my duties for a club, and he asked me once what I would do if he says he likes me, then told me not to read too much into the question. I'm very unsure about what he really thinks because he keeps asking me to study or eat dinner with him. I don't know whether it was just as a friend or because he really is interested. I don't like him in that way, and I don't know whether to just pretend I don't know anything or how to break the news to him. I just wish that he wouldn't waste anymore time on me. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this, but this is bothering me because he's a good friend to me and I don't want to send the wrong signals or hurt his feelings.What can I do in this situation?? Thanks for helping in advance! Reply to this Question

 Just tell him that you're getting the impression that he likes you, then break it. That's all there is to it. Don't beat around the bush because then he might not get the message. Just be direct and apologetic.

You should tell him. It does seem like he is interested in you, not many guys would go out to dinner with a girl just as friends (although I guess there are a few who would!) You don't want him to get the wrong impression or false hope, or to waste time chasing after you when he could be looking for someone new. Tell him you don't want to lose the friendship, but you're just not looking for anything more. He'll appreciate your honesty.
