BEAR WITH ME, PLEASE.
Caps lock to stop anyone from throwing abuse at me before reading the question. Yes I know, there's probably lots of eye rolling.
I'm at uni, 2nd year, loved it at first then slowly starting dreading going in. Too many guys like me and they're coming on really strongly, to the point where I'm feeling overwhelmed and helpless. This is so pathetic to admit, but I've started hiding myself because I feel so exhausted after talking to them. I have girl friends but they're not too close, so I can't really talk to them about it :S
I don't know how to get the message across to them that I don't want a boyfriend. I don't want to be in a relationship. It's like trying to reason with brick walls! These guys are giving me gifts like expensive jewellery (which I don't take) - everything they say is loaded with double meanings. They're in all my modules and my practical groups. I can't just severe any ties with them because it'll get so awkward especially as we do so much group work. Plus, we have a group presentation at the end of the year.
What do I do?! How on earth can I get the message across that I just like them as friends? They're nice people but every conversation we have is exhausting. I've said it as bluntly as I could but there's this whole 'oh, I can make her change her mind' thing going on.
Before anyone asks, yes I'm friendly, 'bubbly' though lately I've been a moody witch. I dress casually but nicely. No I didn't lead them on. I'm not that type, unless my friendliness was taken to mean something else.
I need advice. I want my second year to go peacefully and I just want to focus on my work now. No emotional drama, please. Men of TSR, especially, I need advice!
