I met this guy last semester and I developed a crush on him, but I thought he saw me as just a friend. We accidentally ran into eachother a few weeks ago, and got to talking and we both admitted to liking eachother the whole semester. We started "dating" and I found out he's looking for something serious and has become overly eager and wants to call/text all the time. I don't want a serious relationship but I like him and want to hang out. I told him that and he seemed to accept it but continues to act like I'm his girlfriend. How can I draw the line and get him to realize that he needs to backoff and relax? I admitted I'm a sort of a commitmentphobe, but he thinks he's seriously going to change my mind! (21/F)

I suggest you tell him straight up,
maybe theres some things you do that lead him
into thinking hes got a chance , so avoid that.
try ignoring him alittle but not much ,
its a small world and you never know, if you know
what I mean .
try being less of yourself around him maybe that
will help him get over you.
what always works for me is " small talk "
if he texts or calls saying hey babe how are you
you simply reply using the one word technique
such as " ok " or " str8 "

and if he doesnt stop, i suggest hanging out with him with friends. making it not seem as if you are going out.
