He thinks I'm into him when I'm really not!

Question - (10 November 2010) 4 Answers - (Newest, 12 November 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I met this guy over the summer while I was on vacation in California (I live in Idaho, he lives in CA). I only saw him once, and all we did was talk. He seemed nice and we exchanged numbers. We texted each other occasionally over the summer, but now he will not stop texting me.

At least three or four times a day he'll text me. Sometimes I answer and sometimes I ignore him. I do think he's nice and want to be friends with him, but he just doesn't get that. He'll constantly compliment me and call me baby, honey, etc, and he always asks me whether or not I've been talking to any guys. It's not just flirting, he really seems to think that I'm interested in him. Even if he didn't live twelve hours away, he's just not my type.

I don't know what to do. Obviously I'm most likely never going to see him again. I want to just ignore his texts, and I have tried for a few days, but I always end up feeling guilty and answer him eventually. I wouldn't mind texting him occasionally if I could have a normal conversation with him like a friend. What should I do?

By giving him your number this guy obviously got the wrong idea but could anything else you've said or done given him the wrong impression?

I think you should tell him, in a nice way, that you'd like to be friends with him but you're not looking for a romantic relationship.

Some people don't get the hint till you tell them straight that you're not interested, just make sure you say it in a nice way.
