How do I get rid of a clingy guy? He's not even my ex or boyfriend!?

Question

So I know this guy who used to be my friend but after a while I got tired of him. I know, but yeah. So I started to ignore him and I was hoping he'd take the hint but he just got clingy and then he asked me to be his girlfriend! TWICE! And he just didn't take the hint and now he keeps bugging me and he won't leave me alone. But I really don't have the heart to just tell him to go away. Is there a nice way to get my point across?

Answer 1

I don't know of a nice way to do it.  I tried the nice way and it didn't work.  You might just have to say, "I don't like you in that way, I think you're just too clingy."  That way he has no choice but to leave you alone.  He'll either be insulted and won't want to hang around you, or he'll still want you but won't want to appear clingy, see?

Answer 2

u tried the indirect apporoach a couple of times and it failed. i doubt theres no other way to do it unless u sit him down and tell it straight to his face. otherwise, anythin else h**l misinterpret it.

Answer 3

Just ignore him.

Answer 4

Try to be kind.  Sit him down and talk to him.  Tell him that you really don't have any romantic interest in him and that you just want to be friends.  

Answer 5

There really is no nice way of telling someone that they annoy you.  Hahaha.  

Start making plans with other people, especially guys.  Start talking about other guys to him maybe, let him know that you are interested in someone else.  It will probably hurt his feelings a little, but you won't have to come straight out and say that he bugs you.  Just become really "busy" with other things.  :)

Answer 6

Tell him you actually have someone you are interested in already, or a boyfriend. You cannot afford to be nice if you does not take the hint. Women are socially intelligent creatures, being "B**chy" is just a way of saving time from all the "getting hit on" and whatnot that they constantly have to go through, especially the gorgeous ones.

Answer 7

the only best way to get the point across is to be direct and straight up, sometimes some guys won't take the hint until you're direct with them, so don't be afraid, go ahead and be direct, sometimes its the only way.

Answer 8

find a boyfriend and make sure the annoying clingy guy sees you with him (your bf) a lot.  

Answer 9

i've had that problem.

i just waited for him to get interested in another girl.

made sure i never flirted with him.

you might be flirting with him without knowing it...

Answer 10

Well, you can try and say it straight to his face, (i.e. "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in you that way, and you are making me feel uncomfortable"), that sort of thing. If he still doesn't get it, then I guess you should just try to distance yourself?

Answer 11

talk to him about it.tell him that you like him but just like a friend and also tell him that sometimes you need your space.

Answer 12

You have to stop being nice to him.  Say "I'm not interested and I want you to leave me alone now!" He doesn't get nice hints.

Or do this and get you friends on this.  Talk about some guy (he won't go to your school, but he's everything you dreamed of) that you will make up and about how wonderful he is and how in love with him you are.  If clingy guy asks say that you are going to date this guy.  Don't give him any personal info on the made up guy.  That's the only nice way.

Answer 13

hey a guy friends to pretend to be your bf and that will give him the hint.or just start hanging out with a bunch of guys all the time

Answer 14

i have had that problem many times. it's hard to get rid of guys like this. mayve just tell him you know i think we should just stay friends it's better that way. don't ignore him though just dont act too interested

Answer 15

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to get rid of this guy because he is ignoring or deflecting your obvious cues for him to get lost.

So,....you're going to have to tell him straight out.

Try this, "Lester (or whatever his name is), you're a nice guy but just not the right guy for me. Please stop following me around, okay?"

If he doesn't take the hint after this, then maybe a call to the police is next.

Answer 16

SERIOUSLY DUDE...

Stop being nice to the "creepy clingy guy". And severely embarrass him in front of your friends for attempting to date you.

100% isn't even good enough to how SURE this is likely to work.

More like 370%

Answer 17

well um ok find a grl then make them meet up stay there for a while then make up an excuse and go away that might help and if he keeps ignoring u then tell him um that we should both see other friends in a nice way hope it helps.

Answer 18

Make him want to avoid you. Start being really gross in front of him. f**t loudly, pick your nose, eat your burgers, pick at your teeth. He likes you for who you are, so perhaps talk about things you actually despise and pretend that it is the most important thing in the world to you. Seem shallow, comment a lot on really shallow stuff like people's clothes. Ask some friend in classes that he doesn't know your friends with if you could pick on them in front of him.  

Answer 19

Tell him to **** off.  

Answer 20

Hook him up with one of your friends lol or just tell him straight up- politely.
