I need MAJ0R help. Okay, I just recently have a guy friend named Josh. Josh is not cute - AT ALL but, you know hes SUPER nice & sweet. So I talk to him online a lot. He started off being friendly, then gave me like an HOURS worth of compliments, "youre so amazing and gorgeous" ETC..and I was flattered but thought he was just being friendly. Then he goes will you go out with me? so of course i start freaking out and being like, no i dont want a bf sorry etc. and he goes YOU JUST GOT PUNKd!! So I laughed it off. Then tonight I was saying how I want a bf so badly and he again goes will you go out with me? And Then i told him i just wanted to be friends, and he said this and I quote. "that is because you want us to be just friends, you could decide that you want us to be more than friends" I dont know what to do!! Hes NOT taking a hint at all! I dont want to break his heart but were strictly friends ! I like someone esle a LOT. What do i do??
HyperactiveMiss answered Friday July 8 2005, 12:12 am: Okay...well it seems like you are bringing it on yourself. Before you say "OMG this girl doesn't know what she's talking about" just read on. You were saying how you wanted a boyfriend so badly! Uh...you shouldn't say that to Josh because that's TOTALLY giving him the wrong impression. It's letting him think you want him to ask you out.
So my advice to you? If you don't want him asking you out, don't give him hints like "I want a boyfriend!" and stuff like that. Of course he won't be able to take the hint if you give in other misleading hints. You won't break his heart if you don't lead him on. Therefore don't lead him on (even if you're not doing it on purpose).
Just curious, but...what does him not being cute have to do with this? If he's super sweet and nice his looks shouldn't matter. But whatever, it's your life and I'm just bringing this up for you to think about. [ HyperactiveMiss's advice column | Ask HyperactiveMiss A Question ]

WhoKnows answered Thursday July 7 2005, 11:57 pm: first of all thats really weird cuz i know someone named josh who is just like that.
well anyway, i would just tell him straight out what youre thinking, and stop saying it the nice way, because if he doesnt get it, then he may get his hopes up, by telling him no, he knows to move on. [ WhoKnows's advice column | Ask WhoKnows A Question ]
Razhie answered Thursday July 7 2005, 11:45 pm: Be more forceful. Don't tip toe around his feelings or you might have a serious problem with him. Make it very clear:
"We are just friends. I don't want to be anything more then friends with you ever."
It might seem a little mean, and he'll probably be a little hurt but it is better then letting him believe something that is never going to happen.
