Hello 
So I'm 15 turning 16 in 3 days 
One of my best guy friends 
Wants me to date him, he keeps on saying he'll wait for me as I don't want a bf plus he's my friend 
I don't think of him like that.. I'm not even attracted to him.. I keep on telling him not to wait as we are just friends and I would never think of him like that! He's a very nice guy but he gets on my nerves a lot as he always flirts with me and touches me... He just loves to bug me.. I feel bad telling him I don't have feelings for him as he's been waiting for a year for me plus he just bought me a princess pandora ring..😩 what should I do
