Ok. So I have another boy problem.

I met this nice guy about 2 weeks ago. Scratch that. I saw someone I semi knew from a few years back who had a group of nice people with him. My friends and I hit it off with these people and we’ve been going out together for the past few weeks. The guy I knew was visiting from LI but all of his friends live in Manhattan and one in the group took a special liking to me.

Last night before we went to Blue and Gold we went out for some quick dinner. I thought it was just strictly for nourishment but he thought of it as a date. He insisted on paying and then to kill time btwn dinner and bar we went to a different bar for a drink.

I do not flirt with him, I act the same to him as I do to his friends, and I don’t lead him on, but for some reason he wants to “be serious” with me. How can you be serious with someone that you have never kissed? This isn’t middle school.
I have no attraction to this guy and the more I think about kissing him the more sick I feel. Tonight I went to a different bar than him with a turned off phone just so that I couldn’t receive any of the immature “I like you texts” I mean who the fuck sends those nowdays. Are we 12?

I need to tell him that I don’t like him that way STAT and there is no easy way to do it rather than to flat out say “I don’t like you that way.” He’s a drama queen who will make this into a huge thing and our new group will have a rift in it. Why did the least normal one out of a group of 5 have to irrationally become attached? (NO Kiss! Nothing)
Go figure.
