He tells me he knows that he messes around but that if I gave him a chance I would like him how he likes me.But I just know I wouldn't... I love him to bits but the idea of anything more than just friends... repulses me.He tells me he would change anything about himself just to be with me. I hate the fact that I am making him so miserable and I don't know how to make things better. We're still friends, and it's getting me so down to know that I could make him happy but I'm not.It's been about 2months since he confessed to me, and he tells me hes still not over it at all and he crys. To make matters worse I have started seeing another guy, and it makes me feel so guilty.Please tell me how to make him feel better, because he doesn't deserve this. Should I stop seeing the other guy?

Explain to him how much you care about him but that you are in a relationship with someone else.Explain that you still want to be friends but if he persists in harrassing you about this then explain that you need a break from him to clear your head, hopefully he will get the message. If not i seriously think you should reconsider being such close friends with this boy, if he is emotionally blackmailing you then pherhaps he is not the person you thought he was. Good luck.
