Wont leave me alone

[Eagle63]

A friend of mine is gay. Were friends because we have to deal with someone at our school who is really annoying.

He is gay, and I'm not. He's a good friend. I have no problem with him being gay, but I want him to stop trying to flirt with me like he has lately. I'm off and on with a girl right now, so I don't need the drama, stress, or annoyance that comes with a friend of mine who is gay flirting with me.

My point is, how can I get him to stop flirting with me without having him not be my friend?

Ask him if he is truly flirting, For example, I like flirting its fun. However, I don't to those who ask me stop, (unless I have a crush on them). If he is just kidding, ask him to stop, and if he doesn't, get more assertive. (not angry)

Whatever you do, don't punch him on the nose like I did my gay friend. TALK to him about it. Tell him you are uncomfortable with him flirting with you.

He might just be perfecting his flirting techniques, or he could be wanting you as more than a friend. Just be understanding but firm with him.

As the above posters said, you need to talk to him. Just let him know the boundries when it comes to flirting. I'm a pretty flirty guy and I admit I kinda do the same thing at times. I don't always realize it either. Just let him know how you feel, just be cool about it, reassure him that you still want to be friends but he's got to respect your relationships and your friendship.

just have a serious talk with him and tell him how you really feel about him flirting with you and if he continues then really lay down the law and tell him you are not gay and can he take his flirting elsewhere.

to me a true friend would respect your wishes so if i were you id just tell him how I felt and if he doesnt understand or listen to you then he must not be a very good friend. if i had a crush on a boy or girl and was flirting with them (which id be way to scared to do lol) and they asked me to stop because they were not into it then i would stop no question. only a real dork would continue to flirt after you asked them not to.

Just tell him it bothers you that should be enough if he's really a friend.
