Yikes! Tell him that you're not ready to have such a committed relationship and that you hope you can stay friends. I think you're right to walk away

you know he's a stalker

you need to get out of here nice and quick. you tell the guy your a little blown away by his enthusiasm and it's made you realize you aren't ready to make such a step. but the enthusiasm was great and you want to be friends. friends that never hang out. good luck

Tell him he's creeping you out and you think it'd be best if he tried to move on. Cut him off

Dude's a tool. Forget him. No contact.

I agree with danielfowler, just tell him what you're thinking. One time I dated this guy and he was really clingy. I started not liking him, but kept on making excuses such as "Oh, he's having surgery next week. Don't want to make him feel worse" or "Graduation's coming up, that should be a happy time". After 2 months of excuses he finally ended it, seeing that I did not want to be in that relationship by just how I acted. I feel like I hurt him more that way than if I just broke up with him a few months back. And not so awkward. Just be honest with him and yourself and define that you do not want that kind of relationship.

This is SO cliche but it's always the best to be bold and speak the truth. "I'm glad we're friends, but you've come on a little too strong for me to think of you as anything more." - it's direct and kind, and tells him what's wrong so he can correct the behavior in the future, with another girl. It helps in the long run, even though he'll be sick to his stomach in the moment.

I agree with Madelyn. Since you like him, let him know that, but make it clear that the only way it's going to work is if he cools it down a bit. If he's needy & possessive, he probably hasn't had much experience with relationships & thinks that he's got to go hard out to impress you. If you let him know that you like him for who he is, he may no longer feel the need to be so intense & just relax a bit.

If he's this into you and you're into him, let him know that you need to take it slow. It's okay that someone is excited about you. That probably means that you're a great person with something beautiful inside you that he sees. Feel awesome about it. If you want to take things slowly, tell him you want to go about things a little bit more old-fashioned, a courtship maybe. Romantic guys (and he sounds like one) usually dig the idea of old-fashioned romance, so frame it like that and hopefully he'll reign it in a bit. Hope this helps. And good luck! I hope this works out for you :)

Kinda weird don't yah think.. My now husband did that the second time around we dated.. maybe its one of them love at first sight deals. :) best of luck to the both of you weather you travel down the same path together or different paths seperate.

He already told his whole family he's in love with you after seeing you only once?! Bwahaha! poor guy...

I'm not sure if I agree with nathan0316.
I think you should just tell him the honest truth.
I agree to do it fast, but don't be brutal.
If he's a decent man, he'll know to take his distance.

I kind of like his text actually, Am I the only one here who does?

Unfortunately, you cannot be kind here. If you try to be nice, he will simply see it as a sign you want him to pursue you. You're not going to be able to get away from this without breaking his heart (or what he thinks is his heart) so do it hard, do it fast and above all, be brutal.

It's either that, or you've got a stalker on your hands.

Tell him straight up...your not into him why not be upfront regardless of what u think he's feeling..

Run!
