I'm a girl. I've known this guy my whole entire life. We're both 15. I've heard from more than one person that he likes me. A few days ago I was in his pool with him and his younger sister(she's 13). He bumped into me a few times and said he was sorry. Then I felt someone grab my hand and no one said sorry so I pulled away immediately. I know it was him, but didn't say anything. My feelings for him are nothing but friends. He's not my type; he smokes, drinks and does whatever else is bad. Any recommendations on what to tell him or do??

I know that it's hard, but it's way harder when they totally "fall in love with you" and you have to tell him that you don't like him. First try giving him small signals. Like when he tries to hold your hand, pull away and look him in the eyes so he knows that you aren't being playful, you just don't like it. If he doesn't get it, when he does it, nicely say "can you please stop" Don't say it in a flirtatious way or laugh about it, just be really blunt and straightforward about it. If all else fails, then you are just going to have to talk to him. Tell him that you just want to be friends with him. Be nice about it, he didn't do anything wrong, but he does need to know where you guys stand.

Also you can always tell him that you don't think of him as more than a friends because you have known him for so long and you are use to that friendship thats there.
hopefully that helps. [ ilubyoux0's advice column | Ask ilubyoux0 A Question ]
