How do you tell someone you're not interested in them if you don't know if they are interested in you but they seem to be...arghhh!

This guy who works in a coffee shop next to my work added me on Facebook. I’ve said hello to him and sometimes chatted politely but that’s all. He’s now commenting on my photos and status updates but I usually ignore the comments. The other day he sent me a private email through FB and is asking me where I’m from, how I’ve been and so on.

First of all, I don’t really know the guy that well, secondly, he’s about 40 and I’m in my mid twenties and thirdly I don’t want anything to do with him. I accepted his friend request because I didn’t want to be rude about it but I haven’t talked to him online or for real since then and it’s because I don’t want to.

I can’t reply to him and tell him I’m not interested in him because that would be me assuming too much, who knows why he’s doing this. I can ignore his email but that would be rude. If I reply however he’ll take that as me wanting to talk further and I'll just get deeper in this

What would you do?

mimisoph3 agony auntHe seems kinda creepy

The best thing you can do is actually delete him as a friend who cares if his gonna get hurt. You have to think about yourself and you have to think about how you don't want him around. So just step in and delete him as a friend.

If he asks you why you deleted him then just say I'm not interested or something. Don't fake anything you don't want to. The best way to get him to know you're not interested is not talk to him at all completely ignore and do your job.

Don't go to that coffee place if you're going to see him, and avoid seeing him at all good luck keep me updated
