My advice is don't get into a back and forth about why you don't want to date him. Just state the facts, but sugar coat it. Most creepy dudes don't know they are creepy, and don't bother being the one delivering that memo to them; it's too difficult a task, too hazardous and most importantly not your job. Let his creepy younger sister tell him he's a creep, let a town sheriff or Wendy Williams do the heavy lifting. Your job is to get this cat out of your life.
The next time he slithers your way and invites you to an all night Lord of the Rings marathon in his basement, look him dead in the eye and say, Hey Man, I dig your candor and it's very flattering and all, but I'm not interested in dating you, - a'right dude, be good.
See. Simple, yet convoluted at the same time. It's your basic F-off sandwich: Sweet. F-off. Sweet.
He'll walk way defeated, but strangely inflated. Get it?
I laughed at "..he slithers your way and invites you to an all night Lord of the Rings marathon in his basement." Or you could tell him you're a lesbian.
Why is F-off sandwich not a tag? Is it at least in the dictionary? You're slacking Funny Man. Slacking.
Too funny!
Oh please don't lie about your sexuality to get out of stuff. :( It's inconsiderate of people who are trying very hard to have their real sexuality respected and accepted by the general public.
I so appreciate you answering this, as I have asked a similar question recently, and am in a bit of a quandary myself. I do feel I have tried everything and am still getting FB pokes, "gentle reminders" on what his phone number is, and invitations to events called "tell a woman she's beautiful day". And I have said no, ignored him, dropped him from FB, and flat out sat him down and said "listen buddy, I'm just not that into you" and his response was "oh, now I like you more because you are so honest." well, that obvious approach worked against me, and I don't know when he WILL slither away, but I am grateful for the answer (and the stalker tags lol) as it shows I did the right thing. THANKS.
hey, i kind of like lord of the rings.
