I appreciate that I'm going to sound like a 14 year old girl now, but some advice on dealing with the situation without causing upset would be helpful...
A few weeks ago I went to the pub with some friends and acquaintances, One acquaintance brought her older brother who was visiting along. He ended up sitting next to me and I became aware that he'd taken a shine to me. He kept learning at me and trying out really awkward old fashioned chat up lines on me and complimenting me on my clothes and hair etc. I was polite but if I'm honest he made me feel little bit uncomfortable, at the end of the evening I was relieved it was all over and just presumed that was the end of it but yesterday I received a Facebook friend request from him. I was going to ignore it and pretend I'd forgotten who he was, but today his sister sent me a DM asking if I'd seen the request, that he really liked me (having only met and spoken to me once?) and that she thinks I'd get along really well with him.
Now I don't know what to do? He doesn't live locally (thank god), but she does and is someone I see fairly often and is in my "circle" so possibly upsetting her wouldn't be good for me really. I'm not really someone who's used to being fancied, and this is not something I've had to deal with much in the past. I'm not exactly beating them off with a stick, but there was no kind of connection between us and I didn't find him remotely attractive. I've no issues with men and have male friends, but this man really creeped me out and I don't really want him looking at my profile. On the other hand if I reject the request his sister might be annoyed with me.
I've not answered the message and I've not accepted the friends request yet. I've got anxiety issues and this has got my levels really high having been quite clam for the past week.
What the hell do I do? Sorry for sounding like a stupid teenager BTW.
