Question - (25 January 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 25 January 2011)
A female Singapore age 30-35, anonymous writes:

This guy, who's a friend but not a really close one, asked me out a couple of months ago, and I said I'd give it a try. I meant that I'd be open to like going out a few times, like for coffee, just to get to know more about each other and stuff.

However, he's taking it too seriously and he's been telling everyone that we're girlfriend and boyfriend. Plus, he keeps talking about things like marriage when we've only gone out like twice. It's a total turn off!

Thus, I've been avoiding him lately, and I really want to call it quits, but I don't want to even see him again, and at the same time I think it would be kind of rude to brush him off by using the telephone and stuff. How should I get the message across?

nanie20 agony auntIt's horrible to date someone like that especially if you're not into him the way he is into you. I think you should just grab some coffee with him and tell him straight out that you just want to make sure you're on the same page and tell him you guys are just friend.

Let him know that is not fair to him if you continue this because not only are you waisting your time its a waist of his too. Just be nice and as honest as you can and don't hold back.
