I'm a 16 year old girl and I've been really good friends with this one guy for about 4 years now. But we've only been friends. Just a few days ago he started hitting on me. I still want to be just friends with him and I've already told him that I just want to be friends, but I don't think that he GETS IT. What should I do? He's a really good friend, but nothing more than just a friend.

Logic has it right, some men just don't get it or they just don't get it that they are crossing the line with you. In the end, you might have to be willing to loose the friendship if he doesn't stop. This is one of those raw deals. [ acerdj's advice column | Ask acerdj A Question ]
Logic-Man answered Wednesday March 10 2004, 8:58 pm: Yes well, often guys are stupid and have much trouble resisting the urge to flirt. I've noticed this in several of my peers. I can't really say what to do beyond telling him all he is to you is a friend and will not be anything more than that. Hmmm... I suppose you could use a simple threat you never plan to carry out like saying 'we can't be friends if you keep doing this'... but then again that's not necessarily the best thing to do. You need to do more than just say you want to be friends, you need to sit him down and explain why you just want to kepp your friendship etc. There's a chance he just doesn't believe you. I'm terribly sorry, but it doesn't seem I'm helping this time. I may edit my answer later, though. [ Logic-Man's advice column | Ask Logic-Man A Question ]
