How I do politely ignore him?

Question - (29 July 2009) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi.

It's a bit long winded but please bear with me!

Okay, here goes.

There's this guy I've known for a while [let's call him Paul] through school, but not exactly as friends, and he'd occasionally talk to me.

At the time I didn't think much of it, but when I look back I realise he was actually flirting with me.

He changed schools a couple of years ago but recently added me on Facebook and started sending me messages, at first they were just sociable e.g. 'Hi, how are you? wuu2?' etc.

But then he started sending me 'looking sexy' and commenting on my pictures and stuff, which I thought was weird so I didn't reply to any of those comments.

He was at my prom working and my best friend persuaded me to talk to him, so I did.

He asked what I was doing the next day and I told him truthfully I was meeting a friend, let's say Sue.

He asked if he could meet, too, so I said sure, as he hadn't sent any of the weird messages for a while.

He asked if he could meet me before Sue and we could meet her when she got into town - I said yes but Sue was late so I spent quite a few hours in a juice bar with Paul, and we talked [some of the conversation was a little forced].

When I met Sue he said he'd better go.

Later on I got the impression that he thought it was a date and a couple of days later he saw me in town with Sue and he talked to me, and tagged along with us for a while.

He asked for my phone number, and I gave him it, not wanting to seem rude, and he rang me and we spoke on the phone for a while because I didn't know how to put the phone down in a polite way.

After that he called me every night and texted me a lot, and kept sending me private messages on Facebook.

I didn't want to give him the wrong impression so I didn't respond to a lot of the texts, and I didn't return calls and I only responded to public messages on my Wall on Facebook.

I think he got the initial impression that I wanted him to back off, and I didn't like him that way, but he's recently started calling me again, all of which I have ignored.

I know it's bad to ignore calls and not return them, but I don't want to give him the wrong idea, like before!

Any advice as to how to politely ignore him?

Greatly appreciated!
