theres this guy. hes my new friend. he likes me though. and i dont feel that way about him anymore. i liked him for a few days, but not anymore. anyways, he asked me out and i told him no because my best friend likes him. but now he keeps texting me every night and calling me and asking me to hang out. hes nice, but hes SO ANNOYING. my other guy friends stopped being friends with him because he is just so freaking annoying. i cant stand it anymore. i mean i guess i can be like that sometimes when i like a guy, but usually he likes me back and he doesnt mind that we talk so much. (not to sound cocky or anything, and i also like make sure the guy like texts me first sometimes and stuff like that, i like it when the guy makes the first move to talk). but anyways i never text this guy first and he is so annoying. im like flattered when he calls me pretty and tells me how much he likes me. but i already told him it cant work out. i didnt really tell him i didnt like him though. i just told him my friend liked him. i dont want to hurt his feelings. what should i do?
I don't think there's anything we CAN do, really. You've told him your true feelings (which was a good move) and that it wouldn't work.
It's up to him to get the message and let it go.
I don't know why guys keep being so persistant, when all we really want is for them to go away.
If you're unlucky like me and the guy keeps pestering you, I usually say something like, "Thanks, but you're making me uncomortable and I'd really like it if you stopped saying these things." or "I told you that we wouldn't work out, so maybe you should try to find somebody else."
Also, start talking to him less and show him that he's bothering you. HOPEFULLY, he'll get it and leave you alone.

Remember: leading him on is meaner then telling him flat out that you are intersted.
Be kind, tell him plainly to shove off because you aren't interested. Its the only fair thing to do, and the only solution to your problem. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
