View Full Version : Is this person into me? What should I do if it's making me really uncomfortable?

Before I begin I must clarify that I'm a straight male.


So I met this friend of mine a few months ago and I already thought he was a little weird. I would catch him staring at me quite a bit, he'd wink at me, whisper "I love you" in my ear, and then he added me on Facebook immediately after meeting me.

I thought I'd never see this guy again and then I ended up changing my group of friends and found out he's in it. I would hang out with practically everyone in the group aside from him and he ended up texting other people in the group asking why he hasn't been hanging out with me.

Now, ever since we've been close, I've been getting strange vibes and I've been getting extremely uncomfortable. He frequently calls me sexy and asks me if I think he's sexy back, he had my profile picture as his phone's background at one point, he always hugs me pretty much every time both of us are standing up, I find him staring at me from the corner of my eye quite a bit whenever I'm not looking...

One time at a hangout, he held my hand, and then in the car he put his arm around me and put his head on my shoulders, and when we were alone he said "it's better when it's just me and you." At another hangout, during a sleepover where there were many other people around, he specifically came up to me and asked if I could sleep next to him because the room is "dark and scary," and when I tried avoiding him he'd try finding me and tell me to come inside. At another hangout he randomly jumped on me for a piggyback ride. All of these made me uncomfortable, but I have never been as uncomfortable as I was today. Whenever he saw me sitting on the couch, he immediately came and sat next to me and put his legs in a position so that our legs are intertwined instead of sitting next to me without unnecessary contact like a normal person, and when we were sitting in the car he first began patting my leg and kept his hand on it, and then proceeded to grab my hand and hold it, and when I tried letting go he grabbed it back and wouldn't let go for a good 10 minutes.

However, he does describe the straight porn he's watched and he gets a lot of girls (has only made out, though)... but I don't know. Out of all the friends I've had in my life I've never encountered a guy as physically lovey-dovey as this and it's really strange. I mean, is he just trying way too hard to be close with me, or does he have some sort of thing for me? Either way, it's making me extremely uncomfortable and I don't know what to do because avoiding him means losing the group since he's pretty much the "leader" of it.

What do you guys think?

Don't be too harsh on the poor guy, he's clearly into you but I think what's best for you to do is just go with him some place private where no one will interrupt and just tell him you're straight and that you're not interested in him, in that way and tell him the things he's doing that make you uncomfortable and tell him him to stop doing them. I have friends I muck around with, bit of a bromance with some aha, but from what you're describing I think this there's a bit more than that. Whatever you do, make sure it's in private and be really serious with him when you're telling him. See how that goes :)

Was it the hand holding that made you think that, or what? That's when I felt most uncomfortable.

It sounds like he's into you, to be fair from what you've been saying you haven't been denying him what he wants. I think if he's making you feel uncomfortable you should just sit down with him and talk to him, we're teenagers we all have feelings! Hopefully if you tell him he'll lay off and maybe you'll get to see the real him.

He obviously likes you, but if u r not interested, just tell him- nothing is worse than than prolonging.

Hey let him down easy ok rejection hurts real bad

Go some where private look into his eyes even a peck on the cheek or even take and hold his hands and tell him that you really appreciate his feelings that he has for you BUT yours are not returned in the same way sexually

It is after all up to you and how you feel I don't think for one minute he would want to make u feel uncomfortable and it may hurt him if he knew he does so be very genuine ie like hold his hands so there is no like cut/chop sudden end, ie you are showing him respect and saying u understand how he feels

I would even go so far as to say let him get ur cock out and let him wank u off the once to help him (strange but true) get you out of his system, but doing this u are also IMHO letting him know and down really easy Hopefully u two will become very close mutual friends and love and respect each other as such.

Good luck m8 let us know how u get on.

There's no question the guy is into you, but you have a right to your feelings and preferences. In the end of the day when it comes to any relationship it has to be a two way street. Since it is really clear you are not into this guy at all, then you have to let him know that while you respect his sexuality you are not into him as more than a friend. As much as this guy wants respect for his sexual preferences your feelings have to be respected, too. You have to let this guy know what you have told us, and you might have to gently tell him that he's coming on too strong. If the guy is all right as a person, then let him know that you're all right with being his friend but nothing more than that. If this guy is a psycho stalker who just won't leave you alone, then you might have to be a lot more forceful with him and tell him to stay away.

When it's all said and done, I think the guy you describe is in the wrong because you are clearly sending him signals you're not interested, but he's pushing and pushing which is not right. This guy has to respect you as a person, and he can't expect you fall in love with him just because he's in love with you.

After reading that, there's no doubt that he has something for you. As you are straight, and are REALLY uncomfortable with what he's attempting to do, I would do what everyone else is suggesting. Seems to me like he enjoys stalking you. It would be in your best interest to talk to him privately, and tell him how you really feel.

I totally agree with this. But I'd add that you will end up loosing your group of friends, since he's the leader of the group. Rejection hurts real bad, and when you reject him like you're about to, then he won't want you in his group. But you have to tell him how you feel since what he's doing to you would be called assault in a work place.

So there's no way this could all be a joke on his part you think?

I mean I don't know about the rest of you guys but when I act gay I joke for a minute or so and that's about it and yeah... I dunno the way he acts with me is strange, I feel. And it makes me uncomfortable.
