writes:C and I became friends late last year. Soon, I developed feelings for him. Around March this year, I heard from a friend that apparently he suspected that I had a crush on him, though he never talked to me about it. We remained friends.A few months later, I pretty much took a U-turn on my feelings for him, and ended up, not hating, but feeling less and less happy about our friendship, and the person he was in general. (He was being quite horrid to my friends/me, and I didn't feel could take it anymore)However, we've been thrown in the same class together, where I am the only person he knows, and vice versa. I think he still thinks I like him, and therefore doesn't think I have a problem with him sitting next to me. The problem is, I don't want his company anymore. I'm not great at confrontation, and would like to avoid it as much as I can, so my question is, how do I get him to stop sitting next to me, without saying it directly to his face?There aren't that many people in the class, and definitely not many that I can talk to. So sitting next to someone else is out of the option. So far, I've tried everything I can think of to subtley telling him to go - putting my stuff on his desk, ignoring him, I even went as far as moving his desk to the other side of the room twice, but each time he just moved it back.What on earth do I do?!

 Hahaha....Im sorry but u went to the extreme of putting his desk on the other side of the room and he still didnt get it. Here's a few things u can do hoping he gets it before u gotta tell the boy off.
1. Set ur purse, backpack in his chair and if he tries to move it.."Excuse me but my stuff is sitting there, so ur not moving it, K? thanks." (say it very mean and have that stern look on ur face)
2. If there is an extra desk in the class I would sit in that one, even if it means sitting by urself.
3. I agree with Caring Guy, strike up convo with someone else in ur class just for the time being to get away from this kid.
4. Uve tried completely ignoring him? Not looking at him etc?\
Now if none of this works then ur going to have to tell him flat out I dont like u so quit sitting by me. I would whisper it in his ear, so ur not making a fool out of him in front of the class.

You need to start speaking to others in the class. There is no other way, unless you'd rather come out and say you just don't want him to sit next to you.

 So sitting next to seomeone else is out of the option... WHY?
Oh, right, you're too shy to make contact with others.
There's one problem related to the same problem.
The other problem is that you're too shy to tell him off.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY AROUND IT OTHER THAN TELLING IT TO HIS FACE SOONER OR LATER ;)
