I had something weird happen at church not long ago. The church was having a sale and he offered to buy me something. I declined, because I'm not big on having people I don't know that well buy me things. Anyway I see this guy all the time in church and he comes up to me to talk. As he's getting to know me he chats more. I don't want to be rude but I don't want him to get interested in me since I have a boyfriend and even if I didn't, I wouldn't be interested because he's not my type. Should I say something or wait and see if he asks me out and tell him then? I don't know if he's married or not but he comes to church by himself.

In church is a great place to tell him to "get thee behind me!".

If you were single, why wouldn't he be your type?

Oh, Id wait till the next time he tries making advances.

It was weird because this guy came up to me and offered to buy me something. Not even sure what but he smiles when he sees me. He's not my type even if I was looking but would hate to upset someone who is interested in me. He probably was just being nice. He's not my type because I don't find him attractive.

I assume, your bf doesn't go with you to church? If not, maybe he thinks youre single; reason for his behavior?

Sometimes he goes, sometimes not but I often bring his mother. The church issue is something we are fighting about because he wants to go but is scared to go more often. I don't even know if this other guy is interested, he could be just friendly. I hate to lead him on but he's probably just friendly.

I have considered that but don't even know if he's interested or just being friendly. if just friendly then it'll make it uncomfortable.

What is there to fight about? Let him go whenever he feels like going.


I think the guy at church is being friendly. If he makes a clear advance, then tell him.

Find a way to bring up your boyfriend in conversation when this man talks to you. This way it doesn't look like you're assuming this guy is interested in you romantically, but are just casually referring to your bf.
