revenant Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 More of a backstory to this but skipping straight to the root of the problem here. My mom has a male friend, normal and fine. She's seen him a lot the past couple of years, nothing has ever happened or will happen with him but it caused tension in her relationship (though that boyfriend was a complete jerk anyway) that relationship has ended (finally). Now her friend has always liked her and she knows it but IMO never did a whole lot to discourage him. But now he's all over her all the time because he thinks he stands a chance. It's just plain weird. She doesnt feel comfortable around him anymore but hasn't stopped seeing him any less she just tries to get me to go with her so she doesn't have to be alone with him. He keeps trying to get her alone and getting clingier asking hundreds of questions about any new guy she meets. She feels sorry for him but seriously? Anyway, rant done with, she ignores my advice, making excuses about not wanting to crush him so any tips on getting her to 'man up' so to speak? My way just isnt getting through to her and this is making me really uncomfortable its getting a bit stalkerish honestly.
Philosoraptor Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 She needs to understand that she is only going to hurt him more by not stepping up and doing something about this. If she's not interested she needs to make that clear so he can put that attention on someone who wants it. 1
