How blunt do I have to be?
My friend, who is my ex-boyfriend's friend, has recently been affectionate to me. He kissed me, then I told him that I think he is cool but I only want to be friends. He said that's fine but when he was around me he'd put his arm around me, kissed me spontaneously, etc. One time he asked if I wanted to sleep with him and I said no. He has been inviting me out lately and I've been trying to avoid him by being a bit cold and defensive, in addition to saying I am busy, and tonight I told him again that I only want to be friends, to which he said that we don't have to be romantic, and then asked me if I was at a point where I don't want to be in a relationship, and I told him, again, that I only see him as a friend.
How can I make it anymore clear to him that I don't want him to be affectionate to me and that I don't want to be intimate with him and only see him as a friend!? Why is he doing this?? Should I cut him off completely?
