A few years ago I went out with some friends and one guy kept kneeing me under the table as it was L shaped. I felt very uncomfortable as his fiancee was sitting next to him and I don't like him in that way. I avoided them for about 18 months and it stopped when we all met again. He inboxes me every now and then on Facebook.
Last week we all went for a meal, I caught him smiling at me. I briefly smiled out of politeness but he would not stop which was weird then his fiancee jabbed him in the side and said something. I asked her if she was ok which she denied anything was wrong and started talking to her and ignored him as I did not want her thinking I want him.
I messaged my friend tonight and agreed to drop round their Christmas card on her lunch break when she is at home. He has inboxed me asking if we have fallen out. I said no and that evenings are hard next week as I have lots of Christmas visits. I just don't feel comfortable with him being around. He called her frigid once saying he gets none he said this while she was sitting there and I said that is not a nice thing to say. How can you keep friends while avoiding creepy partners?
