misread signal guy!


Question Posted Saturday August 13 2005, 8:30 pm

lol okay not so much a problem as a general wondering of action here... i'm 16, this guy at work - also 16 - has been telling a bunch of his collegues I've been "checking him out" and he reckons I fancy him and he fancies me blah blah blah. I heard all this off a friend/collegue and didn't even know who the guy was :| ... anyhow fast forward a few days.. I know who the guy is now and today when I was around doing some jobs and needed help he was available and was all...showing off whilst helping me... which was funny... but I remained normal as to not give him any signals. Let's just say... im not interested in him, especially since he told his collegues I was checking him out :S
Anyway near the end of my shift his mate comes up to me and hands me over a piece of paper with this guys name and mobile number on... haha which made me laugh... and he managed to work the last half hour of his shift right by me...but not quite near enough for speech.
Anyway what do you reckon I should do now? Umm.. I don't wanna be mean but I'm totally not interested but wouldn't mind being a mate and crap.
Should I talk to him next time I see him in the store (which may be next week) say I lost the paper? or text him tell him im not interested ect... lol how would be the best way to put this?
Help muchly appreciated! xoxo

Just tell him straight, but tell him to his face.
"Look i think you may have the wrong idea about me, i'm not interested in you and never date work mates. (But thanks anyway)"
Knock him down,but always leave him feeling good about himself so that nobody gets a red face.

It would be alot easier to text him because then you don't have to do it to his face and stuff. So maybe just text him and be like," I'm sorry, I'm interested in someone else, but is it cool if we can be friends?" ( so then you aren't completly hurting his feelings by going," I'm not interested." ) and then if he doesn't get the hint, just keep reminding him. And if he still doesn't, I might want to back off from him cause then it'd sorta be kinda creepy. But yeah, just text him about it and be nice. I hope I helped!





Love,
MELii

hmm to be nice, i'd say you're interested in someone else even if you're not. then you aren't giving a dumb answer for not being interested. maybe you shouldn't go out and say "uhh yeah i'm not interested" but don't like hide it either. next time he, er 1 of his friends, makes a pass at you for himself, tell him you aren't interested because of the fact that you sorta like someone else. it may be mean to lie, maybe its not even a lie, but it's also being nice at the same time without hurting his feelings. i'd leave it go until he tried something again.

good luck!

I think you should be totally honest with the guy since you're not even interested. The longer you put it off, the more convinced he's gonna be that u ARE interested. He'll keep bothering you and "checking you out". If you dont want that, just try to tell him, nicely of course, that you're just not interested in a relationship right now. Make it seem like it's not really him, you're just not ready for that. If he gets it, then you're off the hook. But the fastest and easiest way is to just tell the poor guy the truth. Hope i helped and good luck!!!
