he had a girlfriend at the time, but since we had been talking for a month or so he broke up with her, because he liked me.
stupidly i gave him my home phone number, and he called my house and left a message. i didn't want to talk to him, and so i deleted him on facebook and blocked him, plus my mom was freaking out thinking he was a creepy old dude and made me block him, but who could blame her?
. a couple months went by and since he didn't call my house again or anything, i decided to unblock him. cue the other guy, he was from a town not far away from me, where the other guy lives in a different state but is 2 hours away. he had already told me that he liked me and had asked me if i would give him a chance. i said i would, and we talked for a while on facebook, and he would try to send me pictures of himself shirtless, which was a bit awkward for me but i never told him. well slowly he stopped talking to me, and was going to a local waterpark with his friends from his school, which i didn't make a big deal out of since they were his friends. well shortly after that he ended up in a relationship with someone else! i was really hurt, since he never said that he liked me. this was about the same time that the first guy, messaged me on skype and tried to call me when i was offline. stupidly i decided to talk to him out of desperation because of the second guy. well, now i've finally come to my senses and i've realized that i don't like him. but the problem is that he told me that he LOVED ME, and he writes it ILoveYou because there's no room for any other girls. i told him that i loved him too! he still has feelings for me and sends me hearts and those wink & kiss emojis. he calls me baby, sweetie, the works and i feel so bad since i don't feel the same way.
he talks about how he wants to come up and watch me show horses this summer and go out to see a movie then eat. i don't want him to!
how do i first of all tell him that i'm not interested in him anymore without hurting his feelings, and also tell him that i don't want to talk to him, or have him come up to see me? i'm in deep crud here. :S
I can't tell if I'd be of any help because your post is hard to read.

I had to say, for lack of a better term, maybe. Because I'm out of town and my mom doesn't exactly approve of us talking the amount we do and we still need to talk with my dad when I get back home about it and arrange for me and this guy to meet before I actually go on a date with him.
I've never met this guy. (Let's call him S). He's a friend of my godsister, let's call her M. We have a lot in common; we both like Doctor Who, Marvel/DC, writing, drawing and acting. We both also have dirty minds. XD When he asked me out, I wanted to say yes and I nearly did, but I knew my parents would go ballistic if I did. From that, I can gather that I like him. I want to meet him so bad, because he's such a sweetheart and we've got so much in common and I know that we like each other.
But what if my parents don't say yes? What do I do then? I can't ignore my feelings for him, or his feelings for me. And if my parents say no, what do I tell him? I don't want to hurt his feelings and I don't want another broken heart.
I've never had a boyfriend, I've never had anything serious. The closest thing I've had is me and this guy (B) liked each other and we went to a dance and hung out at his place and watched Harry Potter. We drifted apart after a few weeks of liking each other. But I've liked a lot of guys and each and every time they break my heart. I've been lied to, one guy (we'll call him J) told me he liked me back. He flirted with me, sang to me and told me I was the most beautiful girl in the world.
That lasted for about 2 hours.
I found out J was lying. At first I denied it, but then I saw how thick he was laying it on. I asked him, and he told me that he was lying.
Other guys flat out ignored me or told me they didn't care about me.
I'm scared. I'm scared that S and I are going to get serious and that he's going to break my heart. But I could get into a relationship that makes me happy and for once I could just... Enjoy liking somebody. And if my parents say no, then my heart will be broken anyways.
;c I don't know what to do anymore.
Okay your post was kind of confusing. So have you guys even talked at all or was your godsister relaying all of the messages? I find it bizarre that he would ask you out without meting you.
If you haven't had a boyfriend then it's pretty obvious you haven't had anything serious, either. There's nothing wrong with no experience in dating. Everyone experiences good times and bad, just like some friends you can count on and others may gossip behind your back. It's all about getting to know people. The trouble with dating is that there are more expectations for the relationship than a friendship and sometimes you enter it without knowing hardly more than the other person's name.
And having things in common is fun, but it's certainly not all important. I have some things in common with my boyfriend like many movies we like, we both love to read, being competent with a computer, good vocabulary, enjoy the outdoors, drawing, love animals, etc. However, we also have a ton of differences, like I am getting a college degree in a few weeks and he moved here after high school to be a musician (heavy metal, which I have zero interest in) and now works in construction related stuff. But it's the values that I feel are more important. We both treat animals well, we both know how to live cheaply, we both handle meeting people well, neither of us are religious, we both respect each other's privacy and don't easily get jealous, etc.
Being disappointed when someone doesn't like you back isn't what I would call getting your heart broken - to me you have to be truly invested in someone and in love to begin with to have your heart broken.
Risking that things won't end well is just that - a risk. Even if it DOES end, why couldn't you be happy until then? Even long relationships often end, but that doesn't mean they were a waste of time. Emotions are part of the human experience.
Eventually it comes down to this - are you more scared of being hurt or more scared of the regret of missing the opportunity to date him? Either way, you have to first wait on what your parents say, so don't start freaking out yet. See if they give you permission, THEN make that decision for yourself.
