Okay so there was this one guy that I used to be sort of friends with in 5th grade. I didnt really talk to him in 6th and than in 7th grade he asked me out. Of course I said no I was only 13. But after that he would always try to talk to me and say I looked pretty and hello to me in the halls in 8th grade. Im going to be a freshman this year and since I was going to a school I couldnt ride the bus too Im going to one that I can. I than found out on Facebook that the guy that likes me will be going there too since its close by. I know he's going to try and keep talking to me. Its not that Im mean its just he get in trouble a lot and is starting to get on my nerve. What can I do?
Update:Also her pesters me about not going out with him still... Im not flattering myself and when I dont talk to him he just keeps talking.

Dont flatter yourself. It sound like he's just being friendly.
Ahh I remember this feeling when I was in high school. The “annoying, clingy yet sweet” guy. You are eventually going to have to tell him how you feel. Don't go about it rude or mean—you can let him down gently. You can always say “I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested” or “Can you tone down the compliments please? I know you mean well, but it's too much right now” (it's not what you say, but how you say it..just say it in a light/sweet tone). Or if you don't want to be confrontational just yet, then I would suggest maybe having a guy friend pose as your boyfriend whenever the guy comes around. Maybe he'll back off a bit. Hopes this helps and best of luck to ya! xx -Nic
Just tell him you're not interested... that should be enough. If not, well, you should be more convincing, perhaps by showing him. That, I'm not giving suggestions for that, you're surely smart enough to think about some things. :)
If you want to talk to him then talk to him. If you don't want to talk to him, then you tell him that and then dont talk to him.. His feelings about you are his deal not yours. Pretty simple good luck.
