NOT! <br/>"Then again, Jesus wasn’t a young, single girl living alone in a city full of potentially dangerous people." Who said that, I wonder? What would you tell your nieces, nephews and/or cousins. I say, Be very careful and heed what your other posts/friends say. If he was a nice person he would respect your space, etc. Therefore, to me, he is not to be considered nice. Shall I go on? ;-) I think you should marry him. NOT!

Be cordial, kind, but there is no reason to get all BFF with someone you aren't particularly comfortable with. And like Greta said, if it gets bad, sick the Dismas on him. :) As one who has met said homeless street evangelist face to face (and can attest to the AWKARD quality that is him), I would say do as you’ve been doing.

Listen to your intuition. It's there for a reason.<br/><br/>If you're just worried about hurting his feelings, I'd tell him that you're not used to people being so agressively social.<br/><br/>If you're afraid of HIM, I'd tell somebody that he's wigging you out.

Is it more that you’re afraid of hurting his feelings or are you afraid of HIM? Listen to your intuition. It’s there for a reason.

If you’re just worried about hurting his feelings, I’d tell him that you’re not used to people being so agressively social.

If you’re afraid of HIM, I’d tell somebody that he’s wigging you out. Maybe the police. Maybe the friendly ex-cons across the street.

She was an optimistic soul who would remind us all with her loud shenanigans and sandwich billboard (which she wore!) that we were all sinners and damned to hell. She would romp through the cars with her booming voice, telling us how we were decrepit and full of sin and damned to hell (she said that a lot). And she would always sing a cute little song:<br/><br/>"SIIIINNNNAAAA! SIIIIINNNNAAAA!<br/>You're going to hellll, siiinnnnaaaa!"<br/><br/>Ah, how I miss her...<br/><br/>Fond memories.

WWJD? Love him. But loving doesn't mean enabling, and you have every God-given right to ask him to politely back off. And if that doesnt work, you can always karate chop him, right?
