So. Here's a long story.
It all began in November I guess. This guy that I barely know, and only recognize from my work and riding the bus comes and sits with me at the university. This was weird for several reasons... I mean, who does that in the first place? Second of all, I had my headphones on (my social shield, if you will) and I was obviously doing homework. So he's talking to me, and I talk back to be friendly.
From that day on, he's been sitting with my friends and I (it would be a cold day in hell before I sat with a less-than acquaintance and his/her friends that I don't even know) at lunchtime and whatnot, and even catches the same bus home with me. Lately I've been leaving 5-10 minutes later from school each day just to avoid him. (And to top it off, he's a low talker. I'm always saying "Sorry, what's that?"
)
Today was the kicker though. He showed up at my work after closing, and was waiting around for me. Now, a close friend told me that on Friday, he asked her if I was seeing anyone, to which she replied that she didn't know, as I am a very private person (which was a good answer). But the good part is that he said that once he asks a girl out and is rejected by her, he usually stops talking to her, to which I replied with internal jubilation.
Anyways, my dad, not knowing about the situation, offered him a ride home. *facepalm* So I told him about it afterwards.
My friends agree that he is quite creepy, and that I should "get rid of him" asap, as it would be misleading to keep being friendly. Now, I never want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I feel like I have to say something. I mean, showing up at my work after hours crosses the line, in my opinion. I don't want to think of what would happen if he found out where I lived.
So my question is: how do you tell someone that they creep you out and that you don't want to talk to them anymore, without hurting any feelings? I mean, I don't yet have any enemies (that I know of), and I don't want to make any any time soon.
If I have the courage though, I think I'll confront him tomorrow, when he comes and sits with us at lunch...

That is a bit creepy! I would let him down firmly but gently. Tell him that you are just not interested in him.
. that'll show him your 'feelings'
He would call me even if I changed my number, follow me around in his car, even if my dad was driving me to softball practice, seduce my friends just to piss me off, sit behind me in the theater, and to top it all off, lied to his mom and told her I was stalking him so she threatened to call the cops on me. At that point I realized the only thing to do was to tell my dad, who is highly protective of me. He took care of it
