" There is this guy on campus that has become sort of like my best guy friend. Throughout every class we are texting, are always on Facebook chat, and pretty much keep each other sane living through the mundane hamster wheel of classes, club meetings, library time, and work. Over the past month or so we have gotten especially close, eating Saturday brunch together at one o&amp;#039;clock in the afternoon after hitting a house party the night before, and he has come to my house for a Wii battle (just call me the Venus Williams of Wii tennis). It seems as though are relationship is getting a little close for &amp;quot;comfort&amp;quot; though. My friend has begun to send me flirty texts, and he has started calling my beautiful often (which is kind of nice, but it&amp;#039;s a little out of character for a friend). Also, even if I did have a small interest in him, I already have major feelings for someone on campus and I would not consider compromising a chance of being with him. I do not see us taking our friendship to any other level, yet I don&amp;#039;t want to see it wither away either. Telling people to &amp;quot;back off&amp;quot; can be extremely hard for me to do, especially when they are super nice in nature and you want to actually keep them around. What should I tell my close guy friend so he knows that I do not see him in a boyfriend way, but that I appreciate him being around? How can I do it in away to not hurt his feelings (well it&amp;#039;s going to be tough to hear anyway, so at least in a major way)? XO Anique "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
