So, this guy at school, named Christian, apparently he likes me. I have absolutly NO feelings for him, not to mention that if I DID like him going out with him would secure my reputation as a freak for the rest of my life in high and middle school. But I also don't wanna make the poor kid feel bad. See, he's a little odd in the head, yeah? Okay, fine, he's a retard, and I mean that quite literally.

I don't know what to do.

Also, I'm feeling less cheerful than yesterday, I don't know why. I'll be online this afternoon, but I actually have homework to do so I'll be a little preoccupied part of the time.

I've got a loverly bunch of coconuts...

GET THAT HAMMER AWAY FROM MY COCNUTS!

just try being very sweet

just try being very sweet and letting him down as gently as possible. there's only so much you can do before feelings get hurt....

Yes, there's no way around

Yes, there's no way around it...over the course of your lifetime, many people are likely to have feelings for you that you do not return (at least in the same way). Let them down as gently and kindly as you can, but don't be ambiguous, or you'll send a mixed message. Sadly, there is no way to completely avoid hurting people in this life. The aim should be to hurt others as little as possible, and to try and not hurt yourself in the process. This gets easier with life experience, but it does not (and should not) ever get easy.

I suggest talking to him

I suggest talking to him alone, or even writing a letter, and saying how you don't have the feelings for him that he does for you. It's unfair to you and, especially, to him, if you don't actually tell him that you don't have feelings for him. There's nothing that hurts me more than when someone doesn't tell me that they don't have any feelings for me and eventually tell me like three months later. When you tell them early, then there's less rejection.

Hope this helps.

Thanks... But I'm not sure

Thanks... But I'm not sure how to approach him.

He never told me he felt this way himself, but several friends tolsd me that he said to them that he liked me.

I'm afraid that if I even talk to him about it people will spread a rumour... And that rumour, me going out with this kid, that would totally ruin my reputation. Kill it.

I'm finally being accepted for me at theis school. I can't risk that...

STRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWBERIEEEEEEEEEES!

let him down easy...

just take the time to say " hey, im just not at that point in my life right now..." or the "i dont feel the same way" type thing, and hope it goes well. question tim, are you out @ school? i am assuming not, since you are concerned w/ the bad rap dating him could bring you.
i would say, even if you have to stay in the closet to let him down, just be like, hey, im not into guys, and even if i batted for that team, your just not my type.

hope it all works out well for you dude, but dont dwell on the fact that this kid has a crush on you.

Honestly, if you have only

Honestly, if you have only heard it through friends, you have no reason to tell him how you feel. Maybe these people just like to stir up trouble. Unless he comes up and lays it on you, I don't think it's necessary to bring it up.

P.S. I wouldn't ignore everyone elses advice. It's really good advice. Mine is just another opinion.

Yeah, I'm out at school.
