A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I've been texting this lad for quite some time now, and i've developed trust in him, and we were getting real good mates.

the other week he told me he liked me and has done for quite some time.

he also liked my best mate not so long ago, they gave it a go. but it didn't last long at all. she decided they should just be friends.

he knows basically everything about me all good and alot of my dreadful past.

two nights ago he actually confessed he is literately obsessed with me. Ive tried to make sure he knows were only mates.

Last night we started flirting, but only because id had a few drinks.

He;s sensistive and got all the qualities i need personality wise. hes not that smart, but im okay with that. its just he gets picked on because of his bad looks, i feel like im being very shallow, but i really really realy dont like him. as a friend yes, anything else no.

how to i show him that i just wanna be friends, or am i being too shallow and just put up with the stick and annoyance of others saying i could do much better?

He's just text me

"i didnt realise how much i liked you until last night, your beutiful, i nearly got you this teddy today, i had a sign saying your beautiful, it reminded me of you. i didnt have enough money on me though. can i ring you later, im bored and you'll excite me ;)"

HELP QUICK!!

xx

troysyaussie agony auntDon't lead him to believe you may be interested. Be polite and smile.Get to the point quickly. Tell him you appreciate his interest in you but your feelings toward him aren't the same. Be nice, don't say you'd rather be friends if you have no intention of staying friendly.

Make it as painless as possible by being direct and NOT saying something like, 'if things were different.'

Don't over explain or make excuses, you are not interested, plain and simple. You may think that being blunt seems mean but, in fact, it is much more mean to let somebody who doesn't have a chance with you think that they might. Maintain eye contact, keep a calm and steady tone, smile and be polite. Remember that him being rejected may get angry and call you names, don't take it personally, it is anger talking. Also remember that him being rejected may act desperate to get you to change your mind. Don't give in to the antics.
