Ok i'm sorry because this is a really stupid and embarrasing problem (hence the annon user thing). But i am well and truely confuzzled. Seriously. CONFUZZLED!
Story so far:So i started uni this year. Met some great people, having a ball etc etc etc. In my 'crowd', there is this guy who i get on with fairly well but its obvious that he likes me. I'm not being up my own arse or anything, but you know when you just
know? Ok, it might sound stupid but im fairly certain. Anyway, thats not the point. Fact is that he's clearly told his mates, who now pester me every 5 minutes asking me what kinda guys i like, if i like anyone on our course etc etc etc. Normally it wouldn't bother me because i'd just ignore it and hope he's get over it.
Problem is that now i've been labelled as 'his' so now none of his friends/ our friends/ any guy from our social circle will come near me, because of course im his 'woman' and so it would be 'wrong'. See - thats what pisses me off. Because i've given him no indication that i like him, infact i've gone
out of my way to pretend to fancy other guys so he'll get the message. But he hasn't. And now, the guy who i really do like (one of our friends) won't come near me with a ten foot barge pole!
I'm a kind person, honestly i am. But theres not much more i can take. How can i let him know i'm not interested without shattering what little confidence he has (i forgot to mention he's quite a shy guy)??
HELP! I think im gona go round the bend if i don't sort it out soon...
p.s. I think he's trying to pluck up the courage to corner me under the mistletoe this christmas

If that doesn't motivate me to move fast i dont know what will!!
