Pretty Boy- while it often happens that one (usually the less physically attractive of the two) ends up liking the other, this is not always true 100% of the time. I can assure you that Jacques and I were just friends. His girlfriend Melanie even saw us interact and could tell from our body language (or lack of it) that we saw each other only as friends- that we thought of each other as big brother and little sister.

Cheerfulgreek- with some people you can be nice. But with others, you have to be direct. And with others, you have to be blunt bordering on rude because they will NOT take the hint no matter how many times you say NO. No matter how many times you hint at what your type is- or even tell the person that he or she is not your type- they will NOT understand that you want to be JUST FRIENDS. What he's doing is bordering on stalking. You need to have a serious talk with him- and if he keeps pursuing, it may be time to break off things for good.

And you are right about the fact that there is a difference between "finding someone to be attractive" and "being attracted to a person". With the last guy I dated the first one was definitely true, but the second one did not follow.
