Does this mean that he's just telling the truth and being a friend of does he not want me to date the other guy because he likes me? Reply to this Question

 Take the advice at face value. Even if your guy friend does fancy you he is telling you something of value - don't chase a guy while thinking you can mold him into the image of your liking.
When he tells you that you are too good for this guy, I can relate. I tell my gal pals this sort of thing when it is warranted. Ask him why he feels this way. If he comes up with solid reasons then he really is a good friend. If he can't, he may still be a good friend but may be overprotective and may even fancy you.
Hope this helps. Good luck and take care.

 You can take his advice either way. I would be inclined, though, to thinking that he's just being friendly.
Bearing this in mind, I would say that it's not that common that someone will hear your problems every day and then give you advice. This is what I would consider an indication of his being attracted for you.
Now, I do believe that you do like him. Why don't you follow theonirvana's advice and drop a hint? I wouldn't do that on MSN. I would do it in person. Otherwise the hint would lose a lot of its "power".

 He could be doing it because he really likes you, or he might just not want to see you waste your time with this other guy, in which case, you should be grateful to have such a good friend. It could be both. If you both have MSN, then ask subtle questions, like 'Do you think I'm the sort of person people would go out with?' It's easier to speak your mind when you're online. Me and my girlfriend are where we are now because of MSN. We've been going out since August 2006. 11 months tomorrow!Anyway, if this guy likes you, then you'll find out at some point, and if he just likes you as a friend, then you can pretty much trust that he'll give you good advice about future boyfriends.
