How can you make someone not like you? Any suggestions to make someone understand that your not interested? I already tried telling the guy many times that I just want to be friends but it seems like he doesn't get the message. I even tried setting him up with a couple of my friends but he did not like all of them. When we are all hanging out with my friends, he makes it pretty obvious that he wants me. How do I get rid of this guy other than ignoring or blocking his phone calls or not hanging out with him. Any other ideas?
well, no, there aren't any other solutions. sorry. life doesn't just work that way. if u don't want him to like u, u have to cut him off.
Yes if you have said that you aren't interested and you really mean it, and he won't take no for an answer then you have to stop dealing. Now are you sure? Smile.
I agree with what has been said above. Sometimes, when people who you want to be friends with obsess over something more, the only thing you can do that is best for both parties involved in the long run is to cut ties. I understand that may be difficult at times if you are in a common social circle, but this won't go away until you avoid 1 on 1 contact. Sure, maybe you see him at social events, but if you honestly want him to get the point, keep that contact to a minimum as well.
You can't make someone not like you. You can't help what you feel, but you can help what you do about it, so if he can't accept just friends, well, as people have said above, you might just need to cut down the contact as much as possible.
I agree with what has been said. it sounds like cutting ties will be best for all involved.
I hate it when I have stated my limits with someone, for example I gave up drinking some years ago & a then boyfriend insisted on bringing beer to keep in my fridge for himself, and they insist on doing what they want instead. It sounds like a disrespect of boundaries is going on here. I don't know if this guy is annoying or menacing, but I would suggest if possible getting a new line on your phone. Give this # only to those you want to have it, and insist they don't give it out to anyone. Leave the original line for the "friend" only, including any caller i d's & messages. That way if it goes to a legal complaint everything is set up on one # so your proof is readily accessible. 100% agreement with other posters about severing all ties. I found out the hard way thru my own experience remaining "just friends" is impossible if there has been a more than friendly relationship.
What everyone else said. If he really cared about you, hew ould respect your wishes and not act so inappropriately toward you.
kickthe him to the cerb!
ok ageed. smile.
