He wanted to know what time I usually have the lunch, so he can come....that is when I snapped. I didn't want to give him any false hopes or expectations. I told him in a very polite way that I love my lunch breaks because I get away from the work and I want to read a book. To leave the RL matters behind for a short while.
I think(hope) he has understood...I don't know. I cannot say I don't care because I didn't want to upset him or damage our sort of a light version of friendship. Then again, I am very selfish and I actually don't care. I need my privacy. I am introvert. If he cannot get it, tough. Life is a bitch.

Anyone with any sense would understand. At the very first, the feelings might be hurt, but after thinking it over, they surely will know where you are coming from.
Again......if not......its their problem.
You were polite, non confrontational, and thats all anyone can ask.
