Love help: How do I keep this boy away from me? - Help.com

How do I keep this boy away from me? He’s a year older than I, a sophomore, and let’s just call him “Vince”. I don’t know if he has a mental problem or what, but it seems as if he’s stalking me.

It all started in Scholastic Bowl. I just said hi to him and he started talking about random stuff and asking me personal questions, such as, “What are you doing this weekend? Who are you hanging out with? What are you up to?”. At the last tournament, he asked me what I was doing, I told him I was going to see Cloverfield with my best friend. He turned around, told his mom, then asked me to go see it with him. I made up some excuse, and got out of it. Later, his mom came up to me saying, “So, are you guys going in a group or what? Vince would love to go.” I just shrugged and got on with my day.

Now, in PE class, I dread it. This boy won’t leave me alone. I don’t have conditioning with him since I’m a year younger, but at the end of PE he always runs to the front to catch up with me like we’re boyfriend and girlfriend. He always talks and jabbers and asks personal stuff. I just say simple things like small talk and look for any chance to get away. When I do, he leaves.

Winter Ball is next week, I’m not going, but I’m afraid he’s going to ask me. I will say no, of course, but how do I do it? How do I get this kid away from me without being mean?

I’m not a mean person, it’s just this person seems to get on my nerves a whole lot and I’m sick of it. My friends don’t understand it, and I don’t either. D:

Today, in the school mass, he sat directly in front of me and kept turning around and staring. Then, when we had to do signs of peace and shake hands, he shook hands with my friend but kept staring at me until I shook hands with him. My friend joked, “Is that your new boyfriend?” I just laughed and said no, but I’ve been thinking of it all day. It bugs the heck outta me.
