Getting over an ex? How to avoid a rebound relationship

There's this guy that’s new to my school. I don't know him that well, but lately he's been hanging around me and flirting with me. I'm just getting over my last BF. What do I do to let him know I'm not interested?

 

Sometimes you have to remember that being the new kid in school can be rough, and this guy doesn’t know anybody. Often guys flirt because that’s just how they interact with girls, and although he could be crushing on you, he might just be looking for some friends.
 
Still, there are a few subtle ways to let him know that you aren’t looking for a BF at the moment without flat out telling him. Introduce him as “My friend_______.” If he’s crushing on you, he will pick up on the subtle use of the word friend and know that you don’t see him as anything more. And if he starts chatting with you in class, ask a neighboring student for input. Bringing someone else into the convo gives you an opportunity to get out and makes everything less personal.
 
In the end, you’re going to have to be honest with him. He wouldn’t want to be the “rebound guy” when you’re just getting over your last BF. If he’s truly crushing on you, he wants to mean as much to you as you do to him. It might hurt him a little at first, but he will be thankful for it eventually. After a while try setting him up with one of your girl friends, nothing soothes a broken heart better than a new love interest.

ok so this guy asked me out and i said yes, and so he wuz like "ok so we shud just meet up at the movies" and i told him that i wasnt allowed to date, but inwould gladly be his gf in skool, and after that he was lyk alright i get it see u at skool,and he hasnt txted me since. Now im confused, are we gonna b dating at skool, or did that mean he wasnt interested anymore? Help! And also, if we r dating, how do i break the ice? I mean we dont know each other THAT well, but im pretty sure as the relationship goes on we'll get to know each other better, but how to i get rid of the awkwardness at the begginning? HELPPP

 

Hey girl, sounds like you jumped into it a little too quickly if he's your bf and its still awkward. I would slow things down a bit and just get to know him. Talk to him again, ask him what he meant, cause you would still like to be with him!

So i like one of my best friends. I've liked him many times and I told him I liked him again, because we made a deal to do that. We were texting last night(that's when I told him) and he was cool with it, making jokes cause a lot of our friends think we should be together. He also said he had thought about us being a couple and that it wasnt entirely impossible. I then told him I wanted to ask him a question. He thought I was going to ask him out, so he said that he didnt want to ruin our friendship because he was scared that if we dated, that if/when we broke up, we wouldnt talk and he didnt say no, just that he would have to think about it.
Earlier, we were talking about who we would want to kiss on New Years Eve. When he asked me, he asked who i wanna kiss in general, not just on New Years Eve, to which I responded that I would kiss him. He said that he would have kissed me.
Can you help me figure this out? Thank you!
Happy Holidays Smile

 

Hey girl, you two obviously like each other. I think if you want to take that chance, you should ask him out. You two are headed down that path by asking each other those kinds of questions and flirting. if it's meant to be, it will happen!
