He Likes Me, But....
I know this guy that likes me, but I don't feel the same way. I've *nicely* turned him down, probably 3 times. But, he still keeps asking me out! He's asked for my phone number a bunch of times, and I've always refused, because A) My mom hates it when guys call my house & B) I'd only give my phone number to my boyfriend (if I had one). I feel soooo bad for this guy, but I'd never go out with him.. It's all so confusing!

Well since you have already tried the nice tatic 3 times, maybe it is time to be not so nice. Tell him you are just interesed in dating anyone at the moment, especially not him! Hopefuly he will get the picture.

Tell him that you don't like how he's following you around like that. Tell him if you really like me then you would leave me alone.

Sometimes 'nicely' just isn't enough. Tell him your mum doesn't want you to have a boyfriend. maybe that'll help deter him. Else, you can't rely on being 'nice'. I know, I'm not sounding terribly nice myself now, and not really being a good representative of my faith, but in cases like these you must remember what goes around comes around. I know you don't want to hurt him, but declining him once should have been enough. I really can't give you much nmore advice than 'don't be nice'.

There's no way to let someone down easy. Best you tell him you're flattered yet not interested in dating him. DOn't argue the point,just be clear. Its HONEST and NONCOMMITTAL in that you're not promising him dates or friendship or anything if you don't want to. If you continue "feeling sorry" for others, you'll have lots of unwanted "baggage" in your life. Being honest gives you and him, or whomever, to grow up and move on. And it lets him save face. Wouldn't YOU appreciate being treated that way?? ANyway, if he persists, be a "broken record" with one lyric-"NO"-Insight2020
