How do i turn a guy down?
Ok so last week this kid apparently started liking me. It was cute at first but he and a bunch of my friends went to knotts scary farm with me and he got REALLY touchy. He was just finding ways to be touching me (not groping), but holding my arm my hand, picking me up, ticking me(which i really dont like..) and just things like that, he even touched my chest just below my collar bone.And i know to some thats just a cute type of thing but i have my own reasons for not liking it. Hes started eating lunch with me at school and 3 of my friends realllly dont like him and i dont know how to tell him to back off. Hes telling all my friends he likes me and im gonna be honest. Hes given me the creeps since the second he started talking to me. It was just this gut feeling that somethings wrong about him. At knotts he was hitting on my friends right in front of me. Everyone that knows him that ive asked says hes creepy, or the usual reaction "Oh god that kid?". So i know hes going to eventually ask me to out or to homecoming and i just wanted to know a nice way to say no cuz i dont wanna hurt his feelings or be rude I just really dont wanna go out with him.

First, get over the idea that you're going to do this without hurting his feelings.
Second, level with him and be honest. Do not pussyfoot around, come right out and say that the two of you aren't going to date. Be clear, firm, respectful, and polite. Do not use some tired cliche like "I just want to be friends" or any of that nonsense. Do not do it publicly (especially in front of your friends), or be in any way abusive toward him. Show him a little respect in the whole process and that will mitigate the blow to his ego your rejection is going to cause.
He's going to feel hurt and disappointed at first. In the end, unless he's got serious mental problems, he'll understand and back off.

well. the easy way would be saying your gay.
other then that there is no pure and simple way. just explain that you dont have feelings for him like that, but that you'd like to stay friends. in most cases that will deter them enough that they will slowly back off until he leaves you alone almost entirely.
