Okay, I met this guy. He is so sweet, honestly. However, he is a junior, and I am a senior. I am not ready to date. See, this guy keeps making moves on me (mostly indirectly...but it's starting to become even more direct)... and I indirectly tell him that I am not interested in dating. He even hinted to go the movies today at lunch. I was saying, "Yeah! Sure thing! All of us should go together!" I was sitting with him and another girl, implying that a lot of our friends should join in. My friend, Samantha, told me later that when I said that his face fell a little but then he tried to cover it up by smiling. I felt bad instantly. Later we texted. He knew my birthday is coming up, so he asked me what I wanted. I just told him I wanted to spend time with my friends on my birthday. I sensed that he wanted to try to buy me something in hopes that I say yes to going out with him or something. If this happened, I would really feel bad so that's why I said what I said.... but he stopped texting after that really...
This guy doesn't really have a lot of friends... many think he is a freak. But I was always kind to him. Smiled at him, greeted him, made conversation when others didn't give him the time of day. My friend thinks that this made him see me as attractive later on because I notcied him and was kind to him... then it seems he thinks that my kindness is somewhat flirting. This was never my intention. He really is nice and everything... I feel so bad. I just don't want to date and I don't know how I should tell him no because he keeps on persisting with ideas of "hanging out." I don't mind hanging as friends... but that's not the level he is thinking about, I'm positive.
How should I let him down gently then next time he hints at going out again? Another guy (a senior) admitted he liked me earlier this school year as well. And I had to tell him no. I felt bad and I knew he was upset. Again, I take dating seriously, and I know it will all go away once college arrives. This is why I let guys down. Now, another guy comes along... and I am back here again... I feel so guilty, I don't like hurting others because I know how much it hurts
