Dear Queenie,
I am good friends with a man I have known for a long time, but I’m not interested in him in a romantic way. However, he keeps trying to make out with me and says things like, “I can’t wait to make love with you.” I keep telling him I’m not interested in him that way, but he keeps trying.
Queenie, how do I make him understand without hurting his feelings?—Just his friend, not his girlfriend
Dear Not his girlfriend,
Do not kiss your friend, not even “hello” or “goodbye”, and do not have physical contact with him in any other way. Some men take it for granted that when a woman touches them, even just on the arm, for example, it means they want more, more, more.
And if he still does not understand, sorry, but you may have to see a lot less of him.
