[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a slightly older male friend that I feel I need to write off. I've stated many times I only see him as a friend. He continuously tells me how attractive he thinks I am, how he loves me, how he wishes I would visit him. He is single and often times smothers me with wanting to constantly talk on the phone. I have told him over and over he needs to stop because it makes me uncomfortable. He will comply and the next time he says those things he will follow it with " I know you don't like it but I had to say it so take it" or " I don't care..I'm going to say it". I feel bad because he is a widow and I know he's lonely. I am starting to hit my breaking point and feel like telling him not to contact my anymore. Would you pity an older lonely man, or cut contact?[/quote]

It's tough because you obviously get off on the fact that this man lavishes attention on you.  You don't actually like him, but you're ego tripping on the fact that he's smitten with you.  Lots of women do this kind of thing, it's called "leading him along," but you were supposed to stop doing this oh by 8th or 9th grade.  As a grown woman don't pretend to be so naive, it makes you look insincere.[/quote]
