One of my guy friends is really starting to annoy me. He just won't leave me alone! I will just be walking in the hall to my next class and he will follow me, even if he's not in the class. He's always poking me and putting his arm around me, and I don't want people to think we're a couple, which we're not. What should I do?

If he continues, you just tell dont want to be freinds w/ him.I can not really relate to that,but my best friend has liked me b4 and it was annoying! [ ciara's advice column | Ask ciara A Question ]
MotherJune answered Wednesday June 9 2004, 1:53 pm: For some reason he thinks he may have a chance with you to become that couple you don't want others to think that you are! Have you encouraged him before in a harmless flirty way when this first began? He could be confused about your feelings toward him. If it is awkward or hard to tell him how you feel directly (which is the BEST method), then start talking about other boys you are romantically interested in and he'll get the message.

Well if you like him take advantage of the moments while you still can! If you dont you need to tell him you dont like it. Or (like I would do) play along then tell him your not into him like that. I hope I helped you!
JamesBaybiGurl answered Tuesday June 8 2004, 11:20 pm: Tell him Straight up how you feel. To me this sounds like he likes you. But you should just tell him you feel uncomfortable with him doing stuff like that. And you only consider him as a friend! Hope things work out!
