How do you turn off an Aquarian?

See, I have this Aquarian buddy that I'm good friends with. He's a fun person to talk to, pretty funny, and we share lots of the same philosophies.

I like him a lot, but in a very platonic way. I wouldn't want to be romantically involved with him, it would be too weird for me. But see- I'm really perceptive (I'm a Piscean)- and after a conversation tonight I'm getting strong vibes that he has non-platonic feelings for me.

He recently had a thing for a Leo in which she didn't return his feelings, and he's now pretty touchy about it. He thinks she hates him. You know, I just don't want that to happen.

So, how can I turn him off romantically and still be friends with him? His moon and Venus are also in Aquarius, if you're wondering, his ascendant in Virgo. I'd appreciate any advice =).

How about when he asks you what you did today or what's new, tell him you were having coffee with a few friends and you were asking them what you should do to make sure you didn't lose your friendship with HIM.

And then he'll proabably ask you what they said, and you can tell him blah blah blah...

How's THAT for an intro...

He sounds perfectly sweet...

He is really sweet (eh, when he's not acting evil), and a great guy. But- it would be like having a romantic relationship with my brother. Really akward. Do you know what I mean?

Thanks for the advice .

No no, seriously, sorry...I was just reflecting on my relationship with an Aqua.

Very very nice boy, a little too hung up on his mother. He moved far far away, and after 6 months of a long distance relationship, when I had wanted to break up with him before he even had left, I called it quits. He never stopped calling, and asking me back. 2 years later, and he calls me out of the blue wondering if he could crash on my couch because he was going to move back to town. I finally had to ask him to please stop, since I was living with someone at the time.

If a conversation ever starts going towards romantic possiblilites between you two, tell him firmly and truthfully no, if thats what you feel. Don't make it seem like its a "well, maybe in the future" scenario, or he will never ever give up on you..EVER.
