    Well, he's adorable and sweet and nice and smart-- but I don't like him!!
    I mean, it's really clear how much he's fawning all over me, he says things like "All the love songs I've ever heard finally make sense!" and quotes RENT songs "I will cover you! and give you a thousand kisses!" which is adorable, but I just don't really like him that much.

    And he has the need to see me ALWAYS. He just came to my window (one a.m.) in the freezing snow, just to say "Hi." And he stood there waiting for me to invite him in, but I'm writing a paper! So I can't!

    He also wants to hold hands everywhere, all the time. And my school is really gay friendly, but it just feels awkward and weird. And he tries kissing me ALL THE TIME! It's like he's devoted his life to me, when I have no intention of doing the same.
    I'm going through a crapload of things with my transition, which causes me to be in a bad mood most of the time. And he's so happy all the time!!!

    In short, how can I say "You're perfect, I just don't like you like that" to a really nice guy? I'd rather be good friends with him than date him...
    :help:

    You need to say that then!
    He must love you if he comes at 1am in the snow!

    first of all, thanks and <3 to both of you.

    and I'm talking to a friend soon, so maybe she'll help me or something...
    but I will tell him before break, which is soon.

    INSTRUCTIONS TO GET RID OF CLINGY (BUT PERFECT) BOYFRIEND:
    1) Put Boyfriend in Large Carboard box (with holes and maybe some bread)
    2) Mail box to me





    In all seriousness though, being honest is important. Let him know
    that you like him, but doesn't need to ALWAYS be with you.

    oh wow. You're pretty lucky to have someone like that.
    Maybe you could tell him why u don't like it? If he loves u he'll try to make you comfortable. But i guess u don't like him. so yeah. Decisions urs to make haha

    it went okay. I made sure he knew that i really did like him like that, but that it needed to stop because my life is complicated enough as it is [my transition, possibly starting hormones soon, parents divorce, financial problems] and that I need him as a friend, not as a boyfriend.

    he is [or thinks he is] in love with me, and I think he may be more in love with the thought of love, but I think he'll be okay. we're just going to stick to being friends.

    Yeah, been there. She was at my locker every break and on my home phone three times every night. For me it was more about not being able to love myself (in retrospect) But I know what you're saying. He probably was more in love with being in love. If he's all over someone else in like a couple of weeks then you'll know.

    lawl!:roflmao:

    That was a good laugh. I say ur fortunate. Really.
    But clingy is never good. Just like too much banana gives u diariah or too much water makes your drown.:confused:

    You should just be honest with him. You being uncomfortable by this and NOT telling him might result into u unconciously not showing him any form of true affection and he would eventually sence it and if he dumps u first it is going to hurt. I am not asking, I am telling you. And you are gonna miss him like hell (atleast for awhile).

    Key? The truth. Tell him the truth so he can understand and trust you or don't tell him the truth so he can continue and don't stop tormenting you...at all. :dry:
    Your choice babes.

    Have fun with that:lol::smilewave

    That's good. He know that you like him, but that you just want to be friends and why.

    *huggles*
    I'm always here for you.
