There's This Guy

Hi! I'm Lilo and I have this guy that always sticks around. I haven't got myself in any relationships before. I'm 18 and haven't experienced dating. Early years from now, I have some guys who are trying to court but I show zero interest to them, which makes them stop and leave. I'm okay with that. Guys calling my attention,trying to show off and impress me, then leave. I can't  blame them when they choose to stop courting me. After all, that's what I wanted.

I'm always the kind of girl who wanted to stay honest to myself. I mean, if I don't like something then I'll straight away show that. Less pretending, less hardship. I also hate trying when I know within myself that things ain't gonna work.

But one day, I have this guy that started showing interest in me. It started when he greeted me "goodmorning". Then the conversation lasted long. Until we had so many things to talk about. With or without sense, we talk, everyday. Days passed by and things were deeper. He confessed and started courting me. I allowed him thinking he would stop soon. But he didn't. Even if I'm being unfair to him. He endlessly asks me out but I always make endless reasons. He would tell me he misses me and I would honestly tell him that I don't.

One night I told him to stop what he's doing. As expected he was asking why and that's just so hard to answer cause he's a nice guy. I told him it's not gonna work just to give him an answer. But he insisted that he wouldn't stop and would still wait for me. I'm a bit blown away by that. So I let him do his thing and I'll do mine.

I feel bad for him and I. I don't love him and he's showing lack of effort as what I've observed. Come on, you can't make me fall in love with constant chatting. And I don't completely know him yet so I guess it's just right to keep things this way for now. I don't need to rush, right?

Any advice ppl? I'm not a love expert. Somebody throw me advices😭
