It's normal for your feelings to change, so don't feel guilty that you don't like your crush anymore. It's best to be honest with him that you don't want a relationship so he doesn't feel led on. If he tells you that he's interested or tries to make a move, open up and tell him what's going through your head. Be gentle with him and use "I" statements to express your feelings, like "I feel like I want something different," or "I would rather that we stay friends."

How he responds to your conversation is up to him, so remember that it's not your fault if he feels a little upset or disappointed. Give him some space so he can come to terms with his feelings, and he'll come back as a friend if he wants to.

I think there's a way to be subtle without hurting people's feelings. So make sure that you're not sending mixed messages by holding their hand or touching them on the shoulder playfully, or anything like that. Make sure that you feel that the relationship reads as strictly platonic. If need be, you can make it clear by saying, "I'm so happy to have you as a friend in my life, and you mean a lot to me." Just make it clear that you feel that they are a friend of yours and nothing more.

It shows you're a good person because you're concerned abt his feelings but also remember you don't actually owe him anything!! Speak from your heart and say what you feel. It's kinder in the end to be honest with him if you're not feeling it.
