<p>OK, I got this from a nice person by PM who wants to be left anon. here goes. note: these are the questions i’m pretty awesome at. </p>
<p>1) There’s a guy who’s way younger than me (3 years younger) and he’s in freakin love with me. He’s always touching me and following me. I don’t like him. How do I tell him I’m not interested and how do I get him to stop bothering me? He’s always making excuses to come over (our mothers are best friends) and when he touches me and is constantly next to me, people think we’re together (he looks older than he is). How do I politely tell him to **** the hell off?</p>
<p>OK. First, start acting like you’re nonchalant about it. make a subtle point of telling people when it comes up that you’re friends. People will be like, oh she just won’t admit it, but if you act like he’s your will from will and grace aka the stereotypical gay guy (note: i don’t agree with the sterotype, but it’s there) but don’t call him gay, it will be extremely convincing. Then, to get him off your back, do exactly what you’re telling people you’re doing- confide in him. Tell him stuff no boyfriend would want to hear, act like he’s your best girlfriend (don’t get crazy with it, but again, be convincing) This usually works for me. I can’t say much for the other girls I know. They’d probably say f-off. that’s a reasonable but rather destructive choice as well.</p>
<p>2) I never worried too much about guys before, but I guess I think about them more though or something. My problem is that if a guy is really attractive or really popular I immediately think he’s too good and walk away. I always think about how a million girls probably like him and what are the chances he’ll even wanna talk to me. Recently I found out a guy I liked who I thought was too good, liked me back (too bad he told me right before he moved to Belgium…dammit). How do I keep myself from thinking that and how do I approach someone like that?</p>
<p>Not quite sure what you’re asking, but I’ll give a similar experience. Me and this guy had a quickie fling (lasting 1 week). Looking back, we were both way too forward, and moved too fast. It was set up to fail. We agreed to be bf/gf one day, but later on he called and made up some lie about how…well it doesn’t matter, it was dumb. I was crushed. I could only remember him in the good light (great kisser, extremely hot) instead of the bad that accompanied it (acted like a white pimp, bad jersey mixed with ghetto way of talking, very, very aggresive and pressuring). He pressured me into things I wasn’t ready for (yikes, Im putting this on the internet! but it might help someone so…) and I regretted it and still do. The moral of this story is think about EVERYTHING you know about a person whom you don’t know too too well before you do anything with them, and then, if you decide to do anything, go slow. Not ridiculously slow, but take your time. It’s not like either of you has 3 weeks to live.</p>
<p>Okay so I lied, there’s a 3rd thing:</p>
<p>3) My best friend and I promised that if we both liked the same guy we would both back off (as if that ever works). There’s a guy she’d been talking about for two years, and then one day that guy transferred to our school. I had one class with him while she had none. A lot of girls liked him. He liked me. The guy and I became really good FRIENDS (for her sake) and everyone thought we were going out since we were so comfortable with each other. My friend became really mean and *****y over the weeks that this guy and I became such good friends. In order to get my best friend back I started being mean to the guy and it worked. So now he hates me, she’s happy with the situation, but is upset that I’m so mean to him (although she doesn’t really want to help me be friends with him again). Any advice on this or how I can fix it?</p>
<p>oh boy. the classic girl and friend like boy problem. This is a toughie. You need to find a middle ground between the 2 of them. First off, you need to talk to your girl friend. Personally, I think she is being terribly unreasonable, but that’s just me. Ensure that you aren’t going to try anything with the guy. Explain that he was a great friend, and you hate being mean to him. If that doesn’t work, tell her by being his friend again, you can help him see her in a more romantic light (there is about a .0001% chance in my opinion, but hey, anything can happen). Then, go to the guy and explain the enitre situation. Say that he can’t (publicly) like you anymore, but you still wanna be friends. Try doing things with the 2 of them to prove that you’re just platonic pals, and maybe even a group of 4 (with you with another guy). That will definetely help your friend get close to your guy friend, if she still likes him, and you to move on!</p>
<p>Hope this helped. (God it was long.)</p>
