An old friend of mine keeps sending me these beautiful flowers in the mail! I keep telling him I'm not interested in a relationship, I want to finish school, get my head out of feeling I need to BE in a relationship, and just have fun, why can't we just be good friends and have fun like usual. I KNOW he is trying to do things get me caught up, but the thought of being in a relationship right now doesn't sound good to me. I spent a lot of time recovering who I was, and what I like after a 7 yr relationship. He wants to hang out this weekend and made plans with me as "old friends catching up" because I said I wouldn't date him and before he started sending these flowers, and I already know what he is trying to do. We have some stuff in common and he is a great person, but I would like to remain friends, I just been recently burnt by the last person I dated who said he couldn't date and go to school at the same time because he's falling behind and the bar.... and I said to myself screw dating for a while until I feel like I don't care if I'm in one.

 

How can I say I'm not interested AGAIN without hurting feelings and making things weird.

Youre not going to hurt his feelings, he knows you already said no.

 

This is what you say:

 

"I'm not interested, and if you keep trying, I will stop talking to you."

 

You probably will never cut him off, but thats all you can do.
