So it’s my junior year in college, I had a really bad/toxic relationship I’ve been in for 2 years. I had gotten out of over the summer break. I came back to school this semester with much more self love and knowing that I wanted to come back with a bang!

I met this first year who is head over heels for me, he went through my friends to get in contact with me. When he finally did, he let me know that he’s interested in me and would like to work towards a relationship. I explained to him that I’m not quiet sure if I’m in the right place to jump into another relationship. I thought he understood where I was coming from so I had decided that we can hangout, all our friends got along so I didn’t think it would be anything wrong.

Unfortunately he’s been VERY clingy and I feel as though he’s so interested in me that he doesn’t have much of a personality; he literally is only about me. Which is flattering but it makes me uncomfortable because even if I did want to date him or move forward with him I can’t because I don’t know him what so ever.

I told myself I’d give him the benefit of the doubt and try to give him another week before I try to break whatever it is between us off, but on Sunday I really made up my mind that I wouldn’t want anything with him because, again of how clingy he was. He spent 9 STRAIGHT HOURS with me and my best friend on Sunday. I didn’t want to be a bitch and kick him out of my room, but I did make it clear that I wasn’t trying to hangout anymore but he didn’t get the message.

I kinda plan on telling him that I’m not ready for the relationship he’s willing to provide and that I don’t want him to think that I was trying to play with his feelings. I really did want to give him a chance but we genuinely aren’t compatible and I feel horrible that I have to tell him that, but I’m so uncomfortable everyone I’m around him and I don’t want that because other than the relationship portion of him, he is a great and funny guy I’d love to stay friends with.

I guess what I’m asking is, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
