1. I didn't know that Renault wuzza girl.
2. Tell that dude straight up that he's a bona-fide creepy bastard.
3. He's doing romance wrong. He's being creepy.

To be fair you still don't, all you know now is that the person Renault went on a date with was a guy.

Anyway, you're going about this wrong.  If a creepy/crazy person is after you, you have to out-crazy them.  It's like prison, you have to stab a person the first day.

Act crazy.  Not like lol chicken muffin im so randum crazy, like whenever he talks to you sit there perfectly still, and halfway through his sentence yell I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT and then get perfectly still again.

Males are not subtle creatures.

If things are not said outright, we probably won't notice.


Tell him, plainly and straightforward, that you are not interested in him in any romantic sort of way. Don't beat around the bush, don't hint, don't be subtle, just say it.

This doesn't mean be an ass about it, but clearly and plainly let him know what you think.

Let's see--you've made it clear that you don't want him hanging around romantically. He kept on going.

Seems like you'll have to more or less slap him with the fact that you don't want this. Yeah, he'll be upset about it for a while, but it's something that'll work out best in the long run. Let him know that he's being pretty creepy, that you don't want him doing this, and that you'd like to remain just friends, only friends, and nothing more. *Then* go into the "you're a nice guy and all" speech.

And, for the love of elven corpses, do this in person, or at least over the phone. Giving this talk in person is like stabbing someone; doing it online is like stabbing someone and rubbing salt and lemon juice in the wound. They both suck, but one is much, much nicer.

I hesitate to click the last spoiler tag because I expect there to be Elder Gods in it or something.

This.

If he's not getting it, then make him get it. Absolutely no ambiguity at all. Yes, it will probably be a shock to him, and he'll feel hurt. Thats fine.

Much better get it over with than have it linger on for months or even years.

If I'm going to get hurt, I'd much rather be punched in the face now, just once, than feel like I'm being stabbed in the back every day for months on end.

Maybe he doesn't get that what he's doing is a romantic advance?

Just throwing ideas out there, but I wouldn't know anything, I've never even had a girlfriend...

Oh man, I hear you. Losers for life.

Alright, I suppose that pretty much squares it, then. I'll, in person, just be a forceful as I can be. Meaning I'll probably mew around a bit and shift awkwardly before saying that its really bothering me and he needs to stop entirely or we can't be friends.
And as to the bash.org line, well, try as I might could think of no scenario to fit that into, sadly. Heh...

Oh, Red and Dwarf, don't stress it. People make a bigger deal of it than its really worth. If you're 40 and can say the same, then its probably an issue, though.

Alright, Renault, where's your school. I can send this 280-pound bruiser to rough up the weird bastard.

Tell him you don't do blowjobs.

He will leave.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

So I missed my chance again today. I sort of chickened out. I started alright, but as soon as he started to get all sad looking I started panicking and being all "butreallyyourecoolilikehangingoutwithyoureallyyourenotcreepydontbesad" and afterwards felt like slamming my head into a wall.
I'm no good at this. Rar.

Wait, your problem is that you can't work up the nerve to tell somebody you don't want to date them?

Seriously?

This is an interesting twist.
