What should I do?

Question

I think a guy at my workplace might like me romantically but I'm not interested in him.

I'd rather stay friends. We tease each other and act more like a brother and sister than anything. He's taken and edited some embarrassing photos of me and emailed them to the co-workers that we know. (I'm not too angry about that now but I was when he did that!) He'll occasionally ask me to go to the mall or somewhere else with him but I say no.

I don't want to date him; dating to me is very serious and should only be done in view of getting married. I told my mom and she says no; I've asked a guy friend and he reminded me about guys lying about their feelings.

I don't want to hurt his feelings at all. Part of me wants to be honest about the situation but another part thinks that he'd stop being my friend if he did that so I should keep it to myself. I have an idea about what to do but I wanted to put it into Yahoo! Answers and get a wider response.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK??!!??

WHOA- BABY!
I have seen this one before and the first thing that you have to do is stop the teasing! Teasing can only lead to someone getting hurt! If this is a good friend then be up front and honest and say
"I have been teasing you and for that I am sorry. I still want to be friends", leave it at that and STOP the teasing.

Trust me some one will get hurt if you don't stop. I can not guarantee that some one might already be hurt by what has gone on so far.

Best of luck.
