How to avid a guy from liking you?

I’m doing an internship at a college research lab. Usually they don’t give undergrads a cubicle at the research lab in college but I somehow got lucky and have my own little space and a computer.

Now, there is a new PhD student who sits in the other side of my cubicle (which is literally behind me -the cubicle at my lab has two sides in the same “space” and you get one side of the cubicle…which is kind of inconvenient).

Anyway, this new PhD student guy is really nice and comes from similar ethnic background as me, which is good, and is easy to talk to. However, I am not interested in him but just want to be friends especially since he sits right behind me. He’s really friendly but now I kind of feel like he’s starting to maybe like me? Which I highly hope not, but I think so (because he’s offered me to eat his lunch two times during lunch break and when I mentioned a dish that I like a lot-which his roommate happens to make often-he has even said that he’d send me some to the library on Monday if his roommate makes it on Sunday, because I don’t go to my lab work on Mondays.)

Sorry I meant to spell “avoid” or rather prevent

Well maybe he does like you, maybe he doesn’t. Don’t jump to conclusions. :)
You’ll find out if he really likes you if he tells you or asks you out on a date or something.

But why would you want to stop a guy from liking you? If he does like you then let him like you. His crush on you will eventually fade. Or you could just say I only like you as a friend because your really really nice and i don’t want to ruin our friendship.

If you don’t want it to get awkward, why not just pretend you’re already in a relationship? Lol x

If you really think he likes you then I suggest you don’t lead him on at all and just straight out tell him you’re not interested and that you could never be more than friends. Smile and tell him he’ll find someone great though. It may sound mean, but what I find mean is when girls don’t tell me until later. If they tell me upfront I’d keep my distance! Telling me later when I am really attached will only hurt more and at that point I’ll have a very hard time walking away.
