text: First of all dating someone who has been your froiend is tough. As for how to let him down and still be friends....Dealing with heartbreak allways hurts someone and is very difficult to do, but if you do not be honest with him now...it will go on and on and the next thing you know..he will hear it from someone else and all of a sudden you are using him...at least that is what he will think. Just be upfront and honest with him. This way he knows the truth before someone else can distort it.\n\n\n\nCB
