Boy has a huge crush on my daughter but how can you gently tell him to stop just dropping by?

This boy has liked my daughter since 2nd grade. He texts her good morning, good night & tells her he loves her. Anyhow lately he's just been dropping by our house to see her. Tonight he even brought her a present.

She's told him she only wants to be friends, and even has a 'future boyfriend' (just haven't made it official yet)

But what can she do or I do to explain to this guy that we don't just want him dropping by? He's just not taking her hints or even listening to her words. Is there a gentle way to do this??

Thanks!

    Just tell him 'She is not interested. You need to stop coming here.'

    He'll be hurt no matter what. That's so cute.

    I don't think there is really an easy way to tell him to back off at this point...and I don't suggest getting into your daughters affairs she might resent that later...but the best thing you can do is make your daughter busy by doing chores or homework something so she doesn't have enough time to spend with him and if he comes to the door (I'm sure he knocks not just barges in) tell him she's busy but if she doesn't want to be with him then she has to tell him herself if you say anything it'll seem like the problem is you not him

    There is no way to do this that will not hurt the kid, but life is hard and that boy needs some valuable lessons into not getting friend-zoned. So just tell him flat out, and he will eventually become a man.

    He needs to be told directly. Don't worry about hurting his feelings.You can crush his heart now when it will sting a little or wait until it gets worse and break his heart even more.

    I don't think there's anything you can say to him. Tell your daughter to just be clear with him if he's not taking any of her hints.
