An annoying guy from my lectures that I don't want to be

by saying "No, I don't want to hang out with you".

What other option do you have, offer him subtle hints? Boo-hoo you're going to hurt his feelings, he'll get over it.

Why do you find him annoying and why are you not interested in a friendship with him? Insofar as I could tell, his interest in you will wane after a few beers that fall flat (har har) in conversation, he will stop inviting you out to shit and will call you a friend. Better than making enemies, no?

If you believe that his reason for inviting you out is to engage you in some kind of bullshit scheme (multilevel marketing, join a religion or some bullshit society, act as a wingmen for his PUA testing grounds), then point out the bullshit scheme that is afoot and say you are not interested in THAT.

Part of growing up and being an adult is to learn how to not make enemies out of everyone that you are not interested in. You can hold pleasant conversations and light friendships with women that you don't intend to date. You can occasionally greet a guy warmly at a party who you don't normally feel like hanging on the weekends.

There's a difference between greeting someone warmly and going out with them. And all that about not making enemies is bullshit, if you're not interested in someone, don't act like they're your friends just for the sake of being nice. It will only annoy you.

You may have to get rude at a point, OP, if the person is being so pushy about befriending you and you're not interested. You can try telling him that you're too busy or that something came up, each time that he asks, until he gets the hint. Otherwise, politely, "I'm sorry, but I'm just not interested." Period. Don't give in or give mixed messages. GL!

>Why do you find him annoying and why are you not interested in a friendship with him?
He's awkward, boring and annoying. He's the type who is desperately attempting to be funny but has no actual sense of humor. If he does manage to say something funny, he'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over again for the next 15 minutes. At first, I gave him polite forced chuckles/smiles, but now I don't even pretend that he's funny yet he keeps on making horrible jokes one after another. He's also plain weird, makes strange jerky movements, cringy statements and occassionally comes drunk to classes. The guy is obviously a nervous wreck and depressed, which is why I was careful about not making him feel even worse about himself.

Also, I'm not a very social person and I feel like my social circle is already at maximum capacity. Having more friends to keep up with would feel like a chore.

"look, mate. I enjoyed the beer but I am awfully busy these days and don't have much free hang-out time. Why don't you make a move on that blonde girl who sits next to you?"

If it "annoys" you to acknowledge the existence of others in a positive fashion just because you don't have the immediate need for them, that says more of a social maladjustment issue on your end rather than anything else.

You're going to have to be straight to him without having to be mean. "You make me feel really uncomfortable and you're drunk half the time in class. I really think you should get professional help, here's the contact details for the university counselling service."
