This guy is a good friend of mine, so I don't know if I can just stop talking to him completely. We met 3 years ago, and right away his friends told me that he liked me. He'd stop by my dorm room all the time and would always invite me to things--well more like, he'd beg until I agreed to come. When he asked me out, I said no, but it didn't stop there.

 

For the first few months that I knew him, I found him very annoying--even while I was dating someone, he'd go on long speeches about how much he liked me, how he was planning something extravagant for my birthday, how he made a song for me, etc. And he'd do everything he could to spend time alone with me. When I tried to avoid him, he'd get upset and go on rants about how he never gets to see me anymore. He'd show up in my room unannounced, and would stay there for hours at a time. I didn't know how to just tell him to leave.

 

After I rejected him, he went to my best friend several times, and asked her if there's anything he can do to make me change my mind.

 

This is the third year I've known him, and things aren't so bad anymore, and he's not nearly as annoying. But just recently he just asked me out once again. When I said no, he asked me why I wouldn't date him--once again. This did catch me by surprise, because he hasn't mentioned the idea of liking me in a few months, but then again, in the 3 years that I've known him, he's asked me out like seven or eight times, and quite often brings up the fact that he likes me in random conversations. He asked me why I wouldn't date him many times, and every single time I had to recite the same answer. He'd even say things like, "You go on dates with all these other guys, so why not me?" He'd proceed to try and convince me that he'd make a great bf.

 

The other day when he asked me out, he told me he thinks he's in love with me--he said that he's not pining away or anything, nor is he hung up on me, but he says he'll love me forever no matter what happens.

 

I need advice, because I really really want him to get over me--not for my sake, but for his. I know what it's like to love someone who doesn't love you back, and as a friend of his, I just want this to stop. He may be annoying, but I do care about him as a friend, hence this is bothering me. What can I possibly do?

LOL, it really sounds like you could have written this thread about me, from the perspective of the girl I really liked two or three years ago.

 

The best thing you can do for him is to cut him out of your life. You can't be friends with him. He will never give up as long as you continue to talk to him.
