    Give it to him straight: you cannot be blackmailed like this. Its not fair to do that sort of thing, so say you're sorry for his problems but he must find a way to deal.

    I am really sorry to hear that. I believe he needs help. Does he live with his family? If so you can try and speak to them about this. You could also try and reason with him. He must be suffering from manic depression, I wonder if he's on medication.

    Honey, you've got to be honest with this guy. Tell him you're flattered, and that you really wanted to give him a chance, but you're not clicking.

    Letting it go further will just hurt his feelings more, so nip this in the bud now - it's kinder to him.

    firstly please all of you never agree to a date because you feel sorry for a person

    its cruel

    secondly this chap obviously needs help, does he have family near by

    if not you need to get him the help.

    You're just going to have to come clean. It'll suck extremely for the both of you, but confess yourself, and try to get him professional help. Get your family and his family involved. There's no way you could let a guy like this down and not be serious repercussions, so get him help, FAST, and let him down gently, but firmly. Try your best to soften the blow, but be truthful.

    Does he still live at home? If so, you should talk to his parents. It is not your responsibility to resource this guy. Don't ever let a man manipulate you like that. Be honest with him, and tell him exactly how you feel. Also tell him it is wrong of him to try to get you to stay by threatening to kill himself. Advise him to get professional help and get out asap!

    Talk to someone professional about this matter they will be able to give you the best advice, maybe a help line, also maybe try to get him to seek help as he has got a problem he should go to his GP.

    You can't be forced to date this guy because you don't want him to kill himself. He's trying to manipulate you into doing that. Not only should you not get involved with someone who is completely unstable, you can't take responsibililty for what he might or might not do. (And he probably won't do that anyway, honestly.)

    make him prove that he will actually harm himself for you. Most people just say that and wen it comes time to do it they wont and they back off.

    RUN

    You would have been better off not going out with him. You cannot control how other people feel. Let him know that you will not be a part of his sick game. This is an effort to control you. Do not fall for it. Obviously this man's in need of some deep Pscho-therapy.

    -He needs help and you can't just stay with him just becaue you feel sorry for him. Can't you talk to him? Maybe tell him that if he talks about harming himself that he really don't love you. Tell him how selfish he is being and you can never want someone like that. Tell him that, if he matures and acts like a man then you will consider being with him but for now you can't. Talk to one of his family or friends and tell them what he said. -

    Try to be obnoxious around him. Find out what he doesn't like and do the exact same thing. Say things that make him not like you. Tell him you want 9 kids. Ask him if he would mind a three-way relationship with him, another guy and yourself. Tell him he is the best thing you found because you can rely on him financially and you will never have to work again. Tell him material things are very important to you, morality comes second or third. Tell him you are high maintenance. You need to marry somone filthy rich. Tell him you have a train of past boyfriends. Tell him your period lasts 28 days.
    There are all sorts of things you can tell him to drive him away. If he decides to sell his house and run away, offer to buy his house for half-price.
    Good luck.

    once i read your question, i was like "woah! this JUST happened to me, like, three weeks ago!"
    my closest guy friend asked me out. he is a druggie and promised me he'd stop. "just stay around, i'll stop" he would say. i feel strongly for him, but wanted out. he said i meant so much to him he didn't want me to leave. so i didn't because i didn't want to hurt his feelings.
    well it got to be too much and i broke up with him. then he cut himself. brutally. six deep bloody slashes on his forearm. i felt AWFUL. i couldn't believe i drove him to this! i got back together with him out of sympathy.
    i ended up telling his family and the school about the issue and i officially ended it. i couldn't be unhappy and he had too many problems with himself to be in a successful relationship. he threatened me and his life, but i told the appropriae people RIGHT AWAY and he's better now.
    and so am i

    so tell someone! save him from himself, but don't build him up by saying yes because the crush will be even worse.

    and remember, whatever he does, it is not your fault. you cannot control people's reactions to your actions.

    LOL...... he ISN'T ur responsibility so stop worrying.
    show him ur VERY VERY irresponsible by being late, don't pay any attention to what he says... if u see a familiar face when out with him chat to them or even ask them to join u.......talk on the phone etc
    Do all the anti's we try not to on a date wear something sensible don't show any flash and BE careful ......don't b alone with him he might do u harm......get rid of him asap......ask friends/family to keep checking u by phone etc.

    I say tell his parents and then break it off. You definetly don't want to be with someone so unstable and just remember that If he does anything it is his own decision...you aren't making it for him.

    Maybe you can reason with him and tell him how if he has to blackmail you into staying with him then what is the relationship really worth for him? Doesn't he want to be with someone that loves him just as much as he loves them (obviously he is just obsessed with you and not in love...but you don't have to tell him that). And if he does "love" you so much, doesn't he want you to be happy? You need to end it though, because the longer this continues the worst it will be.

    Try talking to/reasoning with him first...in a safe setting...and then, if it doesn't go well tell his parents...and then break off all contact.

    This guy is using pity to get get you.Dont be cruel when you let him down but you do have to let him down.Tell him that you like him but dont like him as anything more than a friend.If he starts crying and threatens to kill himself,tell him you will miss him.If he sees he cant manipulate you by threatening to harm himself he might get the hint.If he is a teen living at home tell his parents about his threats to hurt himself.They need to know.If you two are adults,then you should think about moving,to get away from him.It's OK to be friendly with him just let him know thats all .FRIENDS.

    He doesn't love you. He is clutching a life raft. Give him a Samaritans card,tell him you care enough but do not love him,if he breaks down and threatens self harm , call mental health. Call an ambulance only when you know he is harmed,ask him how embarrassed will he be if he survives,enough to move?then you can maybe have a sensible neighbour.Tell him all this in a very public place and tell him whilst you like him as a neighbour/friend and your there for him for a little support that you have a life.

    He isn't your responsibility, you have to do what's right for you. Tell him he needs to get profesional help and that blackmailing you isn't the way to keep you. chances are he wouldn't do it, it's all a threat to keep you.
