Is he out of line or is it just normal in his culture?

Good luck girl...I am hoping for your sake he is not direct from the rez. My second husband was a Navajo and he was pretty much like your "friend" Maybe he is educated and cultured enough to understand that what he is doing is a little out of line and making you uncomfortable. And no, I don't believe it has anything to do with their culture cause a lot of white guys act the same way. Just let him know up front how you are feeling about what he is doing. Good luck!

Theres this guy that i met a couple of weeks ago since i moved to arizona and he has been flirting with me heavly ever since.He's really funny and is a chill guy it's just that nearly everything he says he has to turn into a sexual innuendo which can get irritating.He's Native American (Navajo) and i was just wondering if it's his culture or if he's just acting out of line? i like him but sometimes he just crosses the line.Like, is it seen as okay to overdo it in his culture if they like someone?

My best friend told me it is but she's in lala land 24/7 so i'm not really taking her seriously.He's asked me out already but i declined and came up with really lame excuses -_-. I'm naturally a shy girl so i find some of the comments he says about my looks embaressing.
Everything would be fine if he just didn't put me on the spot all the time .I'm 16 and he's 19 if that helps.

Thanks.

just tell him that he's a little too 'forward' for your taste. He may be an alright guy, but his innuendos and comments make you uncomfortable. Honesty is the best policy. For all you know, maybe he thinks you like it? It would be a shame to miss out on a friendship because of lack of communication. (I don't think 'culture' has anything to do with it.)
