There's a guy who I became reacquainted with recently. He's always been very nice and I like him as a friend. But only a friend. I think he liked me and likes me as more. I am really not attracted to this guy and he kind of smells (dirty) and has no teeth.

I have not been returning his calls. I just don't feel comfortable anymore. I don't want to return his calls. I want to let this fade away. But I feel guilty kind of. Not sure I should. I just don't want to hurt his feelings. He called today and left a message, and sounded very...pathetic to me (sorry, I can't think of a better, less offensive word). I was very turned off and just don't want to call him back.

Do I have to call him back? He did have me borrow a movie of his, which I'm not really into and didn't watch. But I can give it to a mutual friend of ours to give to him. He doesn't do email or text. I might see him sometimes at certain gatherings. Which I hope would be ok with him.

Anyway....I don't think it is my duty to call him and explain to him I don't want to get together anymore.. At the same time, I *could* address my concern to him that he might like me as more. But I don't know how, and I don't even know if I want to do that.

I guess I feel guilty because I reached out to *him* and had a friend give him my number.
