Anonymous asked: Hey, So I met this guy on NYE. He was a friend of friend. He seemed pretty nice so we exchanged numbers at the end of the night. We spoke on the phone and via text for the past few weeks but he seems way more into me than I am into him. Now, I often find myself not responding to his text and not returning his phone calls because he kind of gives off the "clinger" vibe. How do I tell him I'm not into him without breaking his heart or coming off as a bitch?

It’s good you’ve realized what you want (or don’t want, in this case) before anyone gets hurt. Seeing as you just met on New Year’s no one’s feelings should be too invested. The grown up thing to do if you aren’t feeling him is to tell him flat out. But, that’s the “grown up” thing not necessarily what I or anyone I know would do. Truthfully, I’d probably just slowly start ignoring his texts or responding with a one to two hour delay. It’s really childish and petty but, like, whatever ok?! He’ll live is all you have to remember. Just be friendly when you DO speak and ignore all inquiries about a date etc. Make sure all the vibes you send out are friendly ones and that you don’t ever give him a reason to think you may be interested.
