I know a guy who just got back from boot camp for the marines. We didn't really talk much before he left. He had texted me a couple of times telling me Im beautiful, and that he had liked me but I never had feeling for him, he's just a friend.I would only reply so often because I would forget to or I was doing something and replied late. Well when he got back from boot camp all of a sudden he wants to take me out on a date but I would always say no every time he asked. I said maybe on Monday after work, he said okay and that was that. Then on Monday he texted but it was the first day of classes for the semester and I was at school most of the day, when I got home I went to my friends to hangout and totally forgot when I got home it was already late and I was tired. After that he just kept texting me but I've been ignoring him because its gotten very annoying because I don't even like him in that way. Yesterday I got a tattoo and what do you know he shows up scheduling to get one. I felt so bad because he asked me AGAIN at the tattoo shop if I would go out on a date. I said no, because I have work the next couple of days and that I'm sorry. I'm not trying to sound like a mean person or anything but am I being too hard? I said sorry, I don't know whether to feel bad or not because karma is a bitch.

CindyCares agony auntYou have been stringing him along. Maybe the guy is particularly thick, and a sharper guy would have got the hint already and understood that you are not into him, - this does not change the fact that " I am not coming out with you because I am busy, or tired " is certainly not the same as " I am not coming out with you because I don't want to ". Stop giving him the runaround, and tell him straight, thanks but no thanks, you'll hurt him much less than giving him false hopes.

kenny agony auntSometimes we have got to be cruel to be kind, it will a weight off your shoulders if you just told him out right that you are not interested and that you don't see him in that way.

Good luck
