How do I get him to leave me ALONE?

Ok. There's this guy at work, he's a year younger than me, and is nice, but I'm starting to really get annoyed with him. I'm not interested at all. He has this little crush on me and its getting ridiculous. He follows me EVERYWHERE. He even watched me clean my floor once, at work, and didn't say anything the whole time. He says bye to me like 3 times in the course of 5 minutes when leaving work. And whenever I talk to other guys, he stands in between us on the side with his arms folded. He's not even a part of the conversation, and does it because he thinks I'm interested in the guys I talk to (btw, I'll never date a guy I work with. Been there, done that). I've tried talking about other guys in front of him and avoiding him, but he will not give me my space. How can I get this kid to leave me alone without having to be mean about it?

    Just tell him you have a boyfriend.

    Or be like;

    "hey i need your help (so he feels a little special & feels like a good friend) theres this guy that lives down the road (or i met at the pub, or whatever. just so he KNOWS its not him lol) that im keen on. what do i do?"

    Or, just tell him that your not interested.

    Good.Luck.x

    Unfortunately, I think you'll have to be completely direct about it. You don't have to be mean thought. Just ask why him why he is always following you around. It might make him confess that he like you. Then you can tell him that you think he is really nice but that you don't understand why he is always following you around.

    It has been my experience that some guys, especially when they really like you, do not take the little hints.

    But if you really don't want to confront him you could lie and say you just got a boyfriend who you are totally in love with. That usually works too!

    Good luck!

    Maybe if you tell him you don't date guys you work with he'll quit! j/k But seriously, tell him that although you think he's a very nice guy you're not interested in him in a romantic way and that he needs to respect your space. If this doesn't work then you might have to let you manager know about how uncomfortable you are at work so that he/she can talk with this guy about leaving you alone.

    You can ask him why he is following you everywhere...why he keeps including himself in your conversations. You should tell him that you feel a little uncomfortable because he won't give you space. Tell him that you aren't exactly...interested in him like he is with you. Or if he doesn't stop then just don't talk to him until he will leave you alone.

    Just start making a point of saying..."Don't you have work to do?" You can smile when you say it...but it opens up the communication...and hints at "piss off"....If he says "no", you can say, "would you like me to ask your boss what else you can do?"....."I don't need supervising, you know"......"why are you always hovering? Go and do some work".......say to someone else within earshot "I'll never date anyone from work, or anyone younger than me"......that kind of thing.....If he doesn't get the message after a week or so.... you can continue, but without smiling......start to appear a bit annoyed...he'll get it eventually.....if not, you might have to be cruel to be kind...." I feel uncomfortable with you always looking over my shoulder....please give me some space"......

    Good luck.

    My first answer could be to tell him the tue but with those kind of people it is better to lie, so try to tell him that you have a new boyfriend (me) and im going to take him away from you, do not worry

    id just flat out tell him im not interested, or that hes annoying you. you could say it in a somewhat 'joking around way' but then be like 'no im totally serious'. just let him know soon enough cuz if yu dont this could get worse.

    punch him in the face.

    hahah, no im kidding, you should tell him that you don't like and never will, you need to sound harsh with these things, im sorry.

    its the only way guys get things, you need to yell. :/
