Question Posted Thursday September 21 2006, 7:07 pm
ok! (sorry if it's a little long!!) so there is this guy that has liked me for a little while. at first i didn't mind because he's really hott and funny, it's just that he has a really bad history [including being in jail...long story] but anyways he's always waiting for me outside of my class to walk me to my next one, he's always saying how he wants to hang out that weekend and he's always tryin to kiss me [when i don't want him to]...he hasn't been totally successfull with that, he's just gotten my forehead and neck [which i STILL don't want though]. after things i've found out, i would NEVER consider dating him and honestly i don't even really want him as a friend, even moreso when there is some other guy that i really like. if people see us in the halls together or anything, they might assume we're goin out which ruins things with this other guy, and also my reputation since this guys rep is totally smashed after last year. how do i tell him i don't wanna be more than friends??

I'm sorry." and then walk away. it may be hard at first but you have to tell him [ Geneva's advice column | Ask Geneva A Question ]

Just tell him that you aren't interested and you don't want to hang out with him. Or you could just start being a bitch. But I don't think your 'reputation' matters that much. If people are going to judge, let them judge. What matters at the end of the day is the people that you actually care about. And about the guy that you like, just tell him there's nothing with you and jouvenile delinquint guy.
Well the people you care about should know you and it shouldn't matter to them who the fuck walks you to class. Also, you weren't asking for politeness when you posted this petty question on a public advice site. I give honest, possibly brutally honest, advice, so deal with it.

MelLeDisko answered Thursday September 21 2006, 7:57 pm: The only real way is to just be completely honest with him. Not BRUTALLY honest, but just a little truthful. Just explain to him that he's a great guy and all, but you can't really pictures yourselves together more as just friends, and you also sort of have your eye on another guy. ( your decision wether you want to add that bit or not, might hurt his feelings a little too much with that info ). And just let him know you're real sorry, but you just didn't want him thinking something and wind up getting let down even worse in the end. It's your decision wether it's face-to-face, over IM, phone, whatever makes you feel most comfortable. But I suggest face-to-face cause it shows you respect him enough to and you're not looking to just blab it all out real quick and then block him or sign off or something. I hope I helped.

Tell him you just want to be friends and you have your eyes on other guys and stuff. i know it will be super hard but he will take it more seriously if it is face to face. & if you cant do it face to face write him a note and give it to him.
