Cut ties, let him know that you have tried, for his case, but now you need to do this for yourself. Then block his number through your cell phone carrier. This will prevent you from responding out of kindness. If you don't cut your ties, you will have that puppy dog at your feet for a long time. I know from experience, that you must cut ties, or they hang on to any short text in a response, even keeping him as a friend on FB will give him hope.....

Sounds like every other friendzone story every other guy has.

That's why you don't do that.

Until he learns not do that, once he gets over you, he'll just do the same thing again.

Yes, it would be really kind and mature of you to completely cut contact with him and ignore all his attempts to contact you. But I don't expect many females to do that.

I've stayed friends with guys that claimed to be in love with me. It wasn't an issue for me.

Meh if you are having issues with feeling incredibly ungrateful of his interest it may be suited to look at some nice guy rants and friend zone whines. Likely hearing guys who claim to like/lover their friend berate, insult, and degrade her for not returning his interest will likely lessen feeling incredibly ungrateful. I find it's quite easy to disassociate from any negative emotions when there is a high likelihood the guy is insulting you for not doing what he wants.

Yes I am friends with this type of person. Me and this guy became FWB and then I did not feel enough of a sexual attraction to him to continue it. But I really liked him as a person and asked that we stay friends. So we do hang out from time to time, but he pushes for more all the time. He always says I didn't give him enough of a chance. But he respects my decision

Another is my ex boyfriend wanted us to stay friends after we broke up. Even though I was uncomfortable with this, I stayed in contact with him and would hang out with him sometimes. He just always wanted to get back together, so finally I just ended it for good.
