“What do I do?
About 1½ years ago, some random guy from my church (who is basically 2, 3, or 4 years older than me) asked me if I had a boyfriend. I was 16 at the time, studying in +2, and I said, "Yes, I have a boyfriend," even though I didn't. I wasn't interested in a relationship, and I didn't want to lead him on.
As the days passed, I started noticing him and thinking about him. Basically, I became obsessed with him! I wished he would message me again.
Then, about a year later, around four months ago, he messaged me again. I had moved away to a different place, not too far but still far enough. He told me that he had a crush on me, and I told him that I wasn't interested in a relationship.
He doesn't know that I have a crush on him. But I don't think I want a relationship either. However, he's still messaging me, sending me reels, and everything.
I wanted to stop leading him on, so I thought about not replying to his messages. But he said that I wasn't giving him any hope and asked me not to ignore him.
I don't know what to do. Am I a bad person?🥲”

No but i feel if you truely see a future with him you can maybe give it a try like if lets say he himdelf stops talking to you, would you be upset or like long for that conversation or feel guilty not making a move, if thinking that your answer is like , i might be upset but will get over with it than dont talk and maybe block him but his own good so that even he can move on

No you are not a bad person talking with someone doesn't mean you're giving them hope
