It sounds like you're using the 'Toggle line commentation' keybinding. 
You can instead use the Comment line(s)/Uncomment line(s) keybindings. 
By default they are not set, but you can assign them in the preferences 
dialog. They should work as you want, with just the '//' line comment 
characters. You can also use multiline comments by editing ~/.geany/
filedefs/filetypes.c (see the manual for details). Under [settings], 
set:

comment_open=/*
comment_close=*/
