how do you tell someone that you simply don't enjoy their company? I mean, I know that you can't really just...say that. Or I can't, at least. A friend keeps asking me out to dinner, to his house, to the movies. (This is the one who confessed his love for me, and also the one that i firmly turned down.) He knows how I feel and yet he won't give up and he won't take no for an answer. I don't want to be mean to him, he really is a nice (if socially inept) guy. Same with james...he won't give up either. My other guy friend informed me that the only way to really stop a guy is to be absolutely against any kind of attention from them, even if it hurts them. Maybe he's right and I'm just leading them on. But really, can't i just make it clear that i don't want to be in a romantic situation with them and then get on with the friendship instead of shutting the whole thing down? all i have are guy friends, it would be greatly appreciated if they stopped acting like hormone driven imbeciles. The first guy is nice, but really...i could handle never seeing him again. the other is honestly my best friend...it hurts that he can't ignore his dick for five seconds and realize that having a guy all over me isn't what i need right now. ok...enough of a rant...where's a scantily clad 18 year old girl with more than half a brain and at least a little curiosity?
