Doggdoc has a point there...but you could phrase it something like, "you know we've been dating for about a year now...I don't date other's anymore, I'm finding I want to date you exscusively...how do you feel about that kind of arrangement?..."...well maybe you can make it sound a little more romantic than that...but you get the idea...good luck!

Just play it cool. You don't want to chase him and scare him off.

You can help him come to the point. Try to open him up with questions, be kind to him. You can give examples of some people dating etc. But if you dont have any idea to of dating with him, again make him come to the point by being kind, opening him up and kindly tell him you are not interested in dating :) was it helpful??

I would tell him that I would have to get to know him before we went on a date. It looks like you do know him so just say no if you don't want to go!

Don't ask them OR write a note.  It makes you seem desperate.  Tell them that they like you.  They most always will deny it, but you can tell if they like you for real by their reaction to you.  For example:\n\nYou:  You like me.\nHer:  (Blushing/giggling)  No, I don't!\nThis situation, she likes you.\n\nYou:  You like me.\nHer:  No, I don't.  (stone faced/look of disgust)\nMove on to someone else.

Don't get too close. Try to stay away from telling him secrets and cut back on the body contact. And don't be afraid to tell him that you really don't like him.

Tell him you're flattered but that you don't think of him in that way.\nTell him that you've known him for so long now that you just can't see him in that way.\nBe nice about it & don't give him any hope that you may change your mind in the future, just be nice to him about it.\nIt takes a lot of nerve to tell someone you like them, respect that he probably worked up the courage to tell you for ages & don't hurt his feelings.

Tell her not to date him!

First, don't act like a stalker, you will just scare her away.\n\nSecond, tell her how you feel.\n\nThird depends on whether she tells you she is not interested or accepts a date.

Tell him straight up "I don't like you" or "I don't want to be with you" whatever and stay the hell away from him.

Take race out of the picture.  If you like him go out with him.  If you don't like him then don't and tell him you want to remain friends and not jeopardize the friendship by dating.  As for guys who won't date you because you dated outside your race, well, they are small minded and not worth dating to begin with.

Never, but never, beat around the bush!  If you don't care for the guy as a date, tell him so.  If you don't, complications could arise at a later time, and you don't want that. And, don't tell the guy, "hey, I don't care to date you, but we can be friends".  That could burn his ego up so fast it would feel like a 20 lb hammer falling on his foot, or heart.  Just tell him like it is, "sorry but we're not each others "type".  "Like blood, your A+ and I'm AB- they just don't match! - sorry!"  I wonder how you know he "loves" you?  He already told you so?  Don't believe others rumors or guesses, they can be wrong, and you wouldn't want to embarrass yourself assuming he does love you, if in actuality he doesn't.

Being open and honest is the way to handle all interpersonal relationships.  Just give them a warm smile and say... "Hey, you know... I like you."\n\nIf they reject something that simple and innocent, it would never have worked out anyway and it's best to just drop it and move on to someone better.  If they respond positively... then great!

Are u sure u don't like him??? W.E if u don't you'll have to tell something like you're one of the best persons i have met in my whole life but we're not meant to be together. However if that person really likes u theres no way he won'feel bad, so be honest but sensitive and w.e ever u do don't say lets just be friend, let him take that decision i mean u can say if u want...

Ignore it.  He may not even be flirting with you and, if he thinks you like him for whatever reason, that's not really your problem.
