Why doesn't he take a hint?

I would just straight up tell him that you're not interested. You can approach the subject lightly, by saying, "Gee shawn, I just want to make sure that I'm not giving you the wrong idea. I'm still dating XYZ who I am very serious with. We can still see each other, but I want to make that very clear." That way, there will be no misunderstanding & he might benefit from a direct approach.

You mentioned that you made it very clear in the beginning. Perhaps you need to make it very clear again. He could be assuming, or hoping, that your feelings have changed. Be sure to tell him that it is not allowed for you to recieve calls, texts and messages at work. It's ok for friends to buy each other things so don't let that get in the way. Just be honest.

I have had this happen more times ... first, telling him you don't want to see him only makes him try harder, like it is a challenge for him .. so the best thing you can do is just make yourself unavailable to him, sadly as it is some men can not distinquish between friendship and relationship so if you express yourself to him that you are not available to talk to him (ignore or block his text messages) and not available to go out with him perhaps he will move on to his next person to be obsessed with. Good luck with it, perhaps in time he will be able to be your friend, just not right now.

My dear freind i do think you have to talk to him straight in the face...there are some guys who assume that something is brewing between him and a woman hes with and some of these guys dont link up with what the woman likes to indirectly or impliedly tell him,of not minding it because of fear of being dumped...this is why in my opinion you should talk to him as soon as possible so that in (fairness to him)he wont be hurt badly and while the feeling (by him)is not yet that deep...tell him straight that hes just a freind no more no less as early as possible.... it may be kinda rude for your part but thats the best way for him and for you to finish this thing without too much difficulty.....peace!

If you have told him straight up that you just only want to be friends, and he isn't listening, then maybe you need to stop seeing him and change your cell phone number.

in my opinion, the first step you should do is stop receiving gifts from this guy, if he insists, you insist back. because some guys don't get it in one rejection. if you reject his gifts at first then take it when he insist, he might think he'll have a chance if he try going for you again.

Well I think you need to talk to him and make it clear that you are in a relationship and that you don't want him as a boyfriend. Also ..I would not except any more gifts from him...I think that this guy is hooked on you and you may have to stop seeing him...if he can't get the hint...

Men are thick and don't really understand that when a woman doesn't want them she realy doesn't want him. I think its because we are known to change our mind and hes hoping your going to wake up one day and change your mind.

Cut him lose he sounds like a stalker or something. Young women have been killed for less so like I suggested I would break that friendship off.

There's little you can do when somebody refuses to listen. I've been in that same situation many times. Eventually he will realize his efforst aren't going anywhere and he'll turn his attention elsewhere. The best you can do is only talk to him occassionaly but not too often or he will think you like him.

for him to really get the hint maybe you have to avoid him for a while or maybe avoid at all so he will not expect anything more than friends. MAybe he already assume that you feel the same way as he so you have to make clear it again to him that all you wanted is only pure friend. Buying you things is his way of winning your heart. perhaps he is hoping. so i think you have to stop seeing him and talking to him.

I think he really got the whole dating thing wrong. He already misunderstood your actions. Seems to me that he thinks your more than friends. About the things he bought you might as well give it back to him and never accept anything from him. Besides you have a boyfriend.

wel im a man and it hink it is fairly ovious he likes you but i know its hard but you need to say to him you want to stay freinds tell him soon thought otherwise he may spend more money on you. dotn just say i want to be freinds otherwise you may upset him. so say things like your a good freind but please stop buying me things.

Run girl, just run. If what you say is true, it's not that he doesn't get it, it's he doesn't want to get it and has some serious issues.

I think, that no matter how hard it is you need to talk to him and tell him straight up that you are not interested in beeing more than friends. Maybe he thinks that u have changed your mind and until u tell him he will probably continue to persue you.

I think you will just have to talk to him again. The longer it goes on the more hurt he will be and I'm sure you don't want to do that. I think if you talk to him seriously and not just off handed remarks he will hopefully get it. Good Luck.

Sorry to say but that is NOT a friend of yours. That is someone who wants what you do not want and it is your responsibility to cut the whole relationship (friendship) off. If he still insists on forcefully seeing you then that is stalking and that is a crime. There are times when guys don't know when no means no. He well also can be confused so explain it to him before you go so far if he is indeed a good friend to you. If he doesn't abide by your wishes (calling when he shouldn't etc...) then cut the whole thing off... it's his loss, not yours.

if you dont have a special feelings for him other than friends better have a talk with him. but be nice and casual, let him feel that you are here talking with him as a friend no more. tell him straight that i have a bf that i love, what we have can never be more than friends. ask sorry if he think what you had done for him leads him to think that you two are more than friends. if he is a nice guy he will understand for sure. then try to avoid him for a while, coz for sure he is hurt wait until he contacts u. next time if ever he invite u again just be sure u tell him this is for friendship sake again in a nice way. guys sometimes mislead our actions. i had experience that before, and never did i thought that he still have a special feelings for me even if were on with his friend. one day i told him that i dont have a feelings for you other than friend and so on. i made it clear to him that im here as friend. guess what until now were still friends and i think i still he still had that special feelings for me but never did he do another intention to let me know it, i just feel it. what matter is were still friends up to now no more, no less.

Tell him straight off he's being too obsessive and annoying ): And if he still doesn't get it, ignore him and avoid him.

Dear Friend Don't avoid him,Go to his home,matter resolve with their parents as well as in case he has a gf or wife
