Duh - just take the first pet food delivery in the nuddy.

What if he turns up where you're on holiday, btw ?

Re: Teenage angst....
I will admit to feeling a little unnerved by him, but i'm pretty sure he's not that desperate to talk about his love life problems that he would follow me on holiday!bobo the clown wrote:What if he turns up where you're on holiday, btw ?

Aye - he might be watching through binocularsbobo the clown wrote:What if he turns up where you're on holiday, btw ?

Seriously, you need to deal with this on more than the facebook level.
Have a serious word with him.

sounds so harsh but you're probably right. Isn't anything i can do to help him anyway. He's got an older sister, will suggest he talks to her instead.

Re: Teenage angst....
If you know him quite well then that may work. If not, I would suggest being very harsh. Not pleasant I know but he's brought it on himself if he's bothering you so much.Gooner Girl wrote:I.e - "Stop talking to me about your love life, i'm not interested"?Wandering Willy wrote:Aye - he might be watching through binocularsbobo the clown wrote:What if he turns up where you're on holiday, btw ?![]()

Perhaps an alternative if you are uncomfortable with being harsh to him is to talk to the sister directly. It's difficult to make suggestions when you don't know the personalties involved but you need to do something if you are unhappy.

I'm still not convinced - it just does seem a little weird to tell his dad he wants to do my deliveries etc thats all.thebish wrote:a few pages ago - despite being the opposite told by just about everyone on here right from page 1 - you were sure that he had no interest in you at all.....Gooner Girl wrote:I will admit to feeling a little unnerved by him, but i'm pretty sure he's not that desperate to talk about his love life problems that he would follow me on holiday!bobo the clown wrote:What if he turns up where you're on holiday, btw ?

Re: Teenage angst....
Don't really know his sister... not got to a stage where he's totally freaking me out yet, just all seems a bit odd thats all.Wandering Willy wrote:If you know him quite well then that may work.

I'm fairly sure when I was a teenager, we invariably used to chug up to the local park (or whatever) near the person we were after. The fact that he seems to be collaring you would make me uncomfortable too - I would have thought his attention would be elsewhere.

Re: Teenage angst....
By the time he is totally freaking you out, it may be too late. You have contributed to the problem by, ignoring what was obvious to most, leading him on a little through being nice and listening to him. End it now. I'd say much more but, like Bobo, I'm too mature...

Re: Teenage angst....
Being serious for a moment (sorry) ... I appreciate that turning round to him & saying "hey, I know you've taken a shine to me, but ...." will lead to "no I've not ...." and embarrasment all the way.
But you need to just cut him out of your life ... be a bit unpleasant if you must. Tell him whatever lies you need, just cut him adrift.

Re: Teenage angst....
Indeed, i can't say that cos he's never said he has, its just you lot assuming. Could be well embarassing. So what DO i say to him and how do i say it nicely?bobo the clown wrote:Being serious for a moment (sorry) ...

Screw it, the kid seems to definitely have problems, and is very immature. Talk to his father.
