About 4 or 5 days ago, this cancer boy, who is a year younger than me, started speaking to me on a website where he had frequently tried to before. He literally bombarded me, first by telling me that I was very pretty, that he had always wanted to speak to me, ect. He livesrelatively close to me and expressed how he was excited to start college soon,ect (I'm going to be a junior while he is about to graduate high school). Anyway, this cancer was coming on very strong, asking me if I would like to go on a date with him and he started explaining what kind of guy he was. I told the cancer the offer was nice, but i do not jump into dates quickly and that I preferred to get to know people first. Hesaid whateveri wanted and we attempted to talk. However he still insisted on dating me even when i told him that constany asking me wouldn't help and I liked going at my own pace. So he slowed down, not wanting to ruin his chances and I actually got to speak to him casually. However, he showers me with compliments and always mentions how he wants me to be there with him, how i am perfect for him, and things would be better if we dated. While we've spoken on the phone, he constantly texts me. While all this was flattering for a day or two, and he's very sweet, I almost can't stand it. i've told him I am not ready for anything and that i'm still hung p over someone else, he is very persistent (and he admits it). He constantly asks if I could see us together, ect and I never know what to say. I also told him I do nolead people on, but I can't help but wonder if I am doing that to him just by being casual. he's great guy, but he won't lighten up, and I can't even have a normal conersation with him.I am at a lost as to how to deal with this. I don't want to disappoint him or break his heart, but at this rate, he'll make no progress at all.
