You do realize he's only playing around, right?

Don't take your thread so seriously, woman. He meant no harm, and I think it's evident to everyone.

And since I've been watching this thread for a while, I figure now that I'm here, I may as well tell you the obvious.

Don't lead him on. Tell him straight out that you'd like to be friends, but there's no chance of anything else developing from your friendship. You enjoy the time you spend together and you would like to continue that as friends - but strictly as that.

If he can't maintain an emotional distance, don't give in and cause him trouble. Spend some time away from him to let him cool off.

You'll probably hurt him (minorly) in a small way. But life is full of rejection. If he can't take it very well, all the better that you don't get involved in a relationship with the guy.

Also, I am assuming you're about 22-23 years old? Interesting.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Okay, this could be a mistake, here, but your time zone says you're on the east coast of the USA.

You want to explain to me how the east coast of the US is a conservative country?

And yea, at 22, you really should know how to turn a guy down at this point - even if you're from a "conservative country." I mean, you're implying you're conservative. Doesn't that involve saying a lot of the word "no?"

There's nowhere I can't reach.
