View Full Version : I think a GUY is hitting on me

And I can get kicked out of my current residence if I beat him up.

Well, ever since I met him I thought he seemed a little fruity, but I decided not to assume. However, I started to get concerned when he would do things like ask me if I wanted to go for a walk around campus. I made sure to talk about all the hot girls here in Arizona in front of him, but it doesn't seem to have fazed him. Yesterday, I was walking down the hall, and passed him coming back from the shower, and he says "<insert German phrase here>" I was like "What?" and he said "It means I have a boner in German."

...

I was like ooooook and just kept walking, and he said "I'm just kidding" as I walked away. Then later that night, I was watching Zoro with my friends, and he came in and sat down next to me on the couch, (It was very crowded so he was right next to me) and I was still weirded out about the whole boner thing. About five minute after he sits down, he stretches his arms and rests them on the back of the couch behind me. I got up and said to my friends I was going to bed. (Shame, I was really enjoying the movie)

What should I do? I would feel guilty if I report him to the authorities and get him kicked out, and I don't want to do something that gets me labeled as a homophobic #######. (I'm not homophobic, I just don't want a guy hitting on me.)

And no I'm not back, summer is just not as busy around here, I'm bored, and I want to try to solve this before it gets out of hand.

He probably is just joking around. Me and my friends do this kind of stuff as a joke.

Just ask him not to act that way around you.

Thats the other thing, if it's a joke and I make a big deal about it I look like the bad one. However, it seems way more than a joke, last I checked randomly saying you have a boner isn't funny. And why would he ask me if I want to go for a walk? The way he has been acting just gives off the vibe of trying to hit on me, not just little jokes. How do I deal with it, without having people look at me as a homophobic jerk?

I got hit on by a guy once. I played along for a while, got a little 'too' friendly, and then made him feel uncomfortable.

I don't want to play along. I want to know how to make him stop, whether it's jokes or not.

Get him away from everyone for a private talk. Then just tell him stop acting that way whether he's gay or just joking.

What is so hard about that?

Actually, people sometimes say that as a joke when they really don't mean it. But has he actually said anything other than that to convice you that he's actually "hitting on you?"

I'm sorry, I guess he just has a Big Gay Heart. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=EbPUewqqvvc) No, it's not a Rick Roll, I swear.

Confront him, one on one, and tell him you're not interested in him. Simple as that. Any other means is just causing more problems for both of you.

Explain to him that you are heterosexual, and that you do not feel the same way about him as he feels about you. If he continues to make you feel uncomfortable after you tell him that you do not appreciate his sexual advances, then it is sexual harassment, and you can take legal action against him. Do not resort to violence under any circumstances.

Same here. He told me he would give me the most amazing blowjob of my life...

I was never the same.

Just say, "Hey, I'm not gay. If I was, I'd be completely okay with that, BUT I'M NOT. So please do me a favor and quit hitting on me, please?"

If he keeps doing it, get louder and more stern to him.

You could just ignore it. So he's hitting on you? It's not like he's touching you or anything.

The problem with that is HE DOESN'T KNOW IF HE IS ACTUALLY GAY.

Make sure to wash off the cooties so you don't catch the gay.

Call the cops? What would you tell them? 'There is this guy who is hitting on me- kick him out of the dorm!'

It's not illegal to be gay..

In a brief expansion:

Although you don't actually know that he's gay (you could be blowing everything way out of proportion), you'd do best to just talk to him about it. If he's straight, he'd rather you didn't call the phobe police on him; and if he's gay and has any sensibility, he'll stop. Assuming he does 'like you' (which is probably not in your power to change), he'll at least understand to keep his hands/eyes to himself. When you do talk to him about it, a private setting (as suggested) is best, but don't make it *too* private. Men are, after all, opportunistic little fools.

Next time go on the walk with him, see what he wants to talk about. It sounds like you're just putting thoughts in your own head because you subconciously don't like him anymore. I made that mistake a few years ago and got really angry at my friend.

Just tell him that your door doesnt swing that way...
In a nice way.

Go one-on-one and ask him, in the most serious tone of voice possible (I'd probably be cracking up, 'cause my friends pretend to be gay all the time.) and simply ask him if it's just an act or if he does actually like you

you can take it from there I guess, it would only require common sense to solve either problem, depending on which answer he gives
