Dear Queenie,
A guy I used to know at school had a crush on me and told me a lot of personal stuff about himself and his problems. I tried to help him but it was more than I could handle and I told him to see the school counsellor and talk to his parents, and I stopped being friendly with him.
Now we are going to the same university and he is trying to start up with me all over again. I don’t want to hurt him, but I’m just not interested.
Queenie, what to do?—Sorry for him
Dear Sorry,
Tell him you what you have told me – that you just cannot handle his problems, and advise him, as before, to see a counsellor. You could also suggest that he join a club and/or other activity where he can meet some new people.
