Rejected a guy and now its awkward?

[Anonymous]

well basically I was dating a boy and i was friends with one of his friends. and my ex and i broke it off about 2 weeks ago and then our friend came to my aid to make me feel better
but then he started flirting and touching and getting deep with me and I got uncomfortable and eventually made it clear I wasn't interested in dating right now and I wasn't over my ex. this is awkward now because we made plans to go places but now he won't approach me & he's pretty upset, and I just feel even worse about rejecting him and even more uncomfortable. this plus breaking up with my ex has me feeling like shit overall!!!

How can I feel better about rejecting this poor boy?

He likes you, you're not interested, he got rejected. So what. What else is there to do here? I say nothing.

Plans? Whatever plans you made I'd cancel. Unless they are in a group setting, then that's fine, no big deal, a little awkward perhaps. But if they're one on one then I say disengage. Uncomfortable and weird written all over that.

This guy, this, "friend," will never stop liking you, just so you know.

do not try to stay friends with him, because he will think there is still a chance for you to like him back, dont let him get hung up on you when you're not interested
