"You're being spoiled... just give him a chance" Options

[angelrevelation]

(read below v) has anyone else felt like this? what do you think the reason was? (for not liking someone so deserving) because 'no connection' seems like a lame excuse...

one of my guy friends likes me. he has for a while now... but it's really awkward because he's like always trying to impress me, and it just comes off as annoying. we aren't close at all. i think the only reason he became my 'friend' was because he liked me.

now, everyone knows he likes me, and like my friends are trying to help him out and are sort of pressuring me to 'accept' him. i guess the idea of me finally getting a boyfriend is cute. and yes, i'm supposedly being spoiled and vain. but i'm not. it's not about looks. i've recently liked a guy 'less good looking' then him (everyone else thinks so... it doesn't matter!). i just don't like him because there's no connection.

but he's such a nice guy... and it makes me really sad that i cant like him back. i just get really irritated around him, no matter how hard i try to see the motives behind it.

thanks guys for all the advice i was thinking of talking to him, but i'm not sure when because we don't have any classes together. just lunch.

and i was also thinking of saying something like this-

"the valentine's gift was really sweet... and you were really brave for doing that. and you are such a great guy and everything but i don't really think that there could be anything between us. i'm still willing to give you a chance, but i don't want to do anything right now. we should just take things slowly."

confusing? too soft?
