I am 'friends' with this guy since kindergarten. We eventually had our own different group of friends so dint really get to talk much to him for many years, it was like kind of we dint exist for each other. Now earlier this year we had a conversation and we started talking again. Never did I throw any hint that I like him because I dont and wont. But he acts so weirdly protective around me that people who dont know me think we are together. He thinks it funny when he points out flaws in any guy I talk to and I have told him its not his business but he doesnt give up. I have tried by stopping talking to him, talking to him politely about it and even fighting but he just doesnt let go of me! He acts like we are really close so some guys even asked him about me before asking me out to make sure that I am not dating him. I dont want to hurt him because he is good at heart but I am just sick of him. I wish I could go back to the time where we dint exist for each other. Any tips?

I think it's come to the point where firstly, you need to point out that you are not his property. secondly, that you are not currently interested in him and wont in the future.
Then, drop in the ultimatum. Tell him that if he wants to see/hang out with you it has to be on a specific set of terms (which you can set) or you wont see/hang with him anymore.
That way it is up to him if he wants to change, or keep badgering you and ruin the friendship. Godspeed xxx
Do you like anyone else in your school? I think it would help if you started maybe hanging out with him, get to know him, maybe start dating? This one guy that you've been friends since kindergarten will get the hint that you dont like him, you like another guy. Dont worry you are not using you crush. You've liked him so it's not considered using. :) Just an idea
