There's this boy I DON'T like...
A pair of friends, really annoyed at my boyfriendless-for-life(or-at-least-for-now-since-I'm-only-fourteen-and-not-that-interested) stance on interpersonal relationships, have been trying to match me up with a boy who they thought would be my instant soulmate.
I met him under their instistance, and we soon became friends. However, lately he's started to hit on me and flirt with me and ask me out, and it's really making me feel uncomfortable since I just don't like him in that way. I want to show him I only want a platonic relationship without hurting his feelings. Even worse, he's taken my spineless silence when exposed to his advances to mean yes, and he even seems to think of me as his girlfriend.
Please, Spacefem, can you help?

First off, go you for being smart enough to know that relationships are stupid, especially at 14.
My advice is to be direct about it. Next time he's hitting on you, just say, "No offence, but you're kinda creeping me out. Are my friends trying to set us up or something? Because if they are, they're WRONG!"
You could also use my favorite breakup technique... line him up with a bunch of other guys and say, "Okay, who here has a girlfriend? (wait for hands) Uhp, not so fast Paul!" It's a huge hit at parties.
