What should I do???

I've been going out with this guy for a month or so now, but the problem is I like him as a friend rather than a boyfriend.
I've brought up the subject a couple of times, but he says that it's stress (which it isn't) and we can just leave things until after the exams. But I don't want to, I can't handle the commitment, not with him or anybody.
And I'm not sure how to tell him without hurting him. My friends say I should gradually become more distant, but I'd rather just tell him and get it over with because he's a nice guy and it's his first relationship, I don't want him to think he's done anything wrong.
What should I do??? Any help greatly appreciated <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
p.s. starting this thread has made me become an Insane Poster! <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/biggrin.gif"> wow

i think you should say that if we are ment to be together then fate will lead us back ino the right paths!
I know I'm not perfect but I can smile
nothing to do but agree with everyone else. if he's ur friend, he deserves the straight answer. it may hurt him, but he'll feel better knowing you were honest with him from the start.
good luck.
