Ok... I'm kind of datin' a guy who I really don't like, (I only went out with him because he doesn't get many girlfriends), but I have strong feelings for one of my guy friends but see, he's my best friend and I don't know if he'd be attracted to me at all, my questions is how do I let my boyfriend know I don't like him, but I don't want to hurt his feelings. :(

That's not going to happen, he's going to be hurt no matter what. I think that was an immature reason to date someone, I would rather be alone than someone's charity case. Break it off with him as honesty would be best and he would recover in time.

"John, I know we've been going out for a while, but honestly, this isn't working for me. It's not YOU or ME, it's US. I really can't continue with this since I know it's not working out. The last thing I want to do is hurt you, and I've been trying, but I believe you want honesty from me, right? So, we can be friends, but nothing more. If you can't be my friend, I TOTALLY understand...but think about it.

"I'm going to date other people and as I said, I would hate to hurt you unnecessarily, so being friends after this might not be possible. I'll let you decide. Take care of yourself."

OK there is no "sweet way" to break up with someone! Just tell him the truth and move on...

Idk he will get hurt no matter how sweet your trying to brake up him. In my opinion (thats just me) just make him brake up with you. Do something that he will hate you for and that way neighter of you will get hurt as bad. (you get what you want and he will get over it fast because he is mad)

I can't because he thinks I'm perfect and he even said "nothing you do can make me want to break up with u.

.. well if you can't be honest, you could invite 2 of your most attractive female friends, the endulge in a passionate night, and then spring it on him.
If only that method of breaking up could've been an international standard - so many of us wouldn't have burned so badly... :)
But in all seriousness, you're only making it worse for him by delaying it.. The RIGHT thing to do is to be honest and just end it.. and if you have any decency then at least don't go out with the "new guy" publicly, or don't make your intentions with "new guy" known to him for a while to come.. because that's only going to hurt him even more.
