So after many years of infatuation, I am finally beginning to get over the guy I love and its kind of hard since he's become a constant in my life now. But I figured I should distance myself from him and try to avoid being alone with him as much as possible. That said, earlier this week I had invited him to a bonfire/party that my brother is having tomorrow and now that my new goal is to put some space between him and I, Im experiencing some difficulty trying to uninvite him. I dont want to be hurtful or suspicious about it but I dont want to lie. I need advice on how to tell him that I dont want him there without telling him I dont want him there. :rolle: Keep in mind its a little hard for me to say what I want when I talk to him. And thank you for the advice.
I think this depends on the dynamics of your current relationship. Does he know you're in love with him? We're you two dating and recently broke it off? Or, Is this just someone you have had a secret crush on who's not interested in you in that way and you want to distance yourself from it so you can try to deal and move on (this is the most of what it seems the dynamics are, but I would like to avoid assumptions)? Depending on the level at which your relationship has been at to this point, there can be a multitude of ways to respond to this.... but it's difficult to provide sound advice when there are a few holes in the explanation of you two.
We used to be best friends and we actually made out a couple times and at one point I told him I liked him but I have never told him I love him. Does this help? I have previous threads that would explain all of this if you care to read.
