VkraM answered Tuesday January 27 2004, 11:15 pm: IF you don't like him, don't go out with him but don't lead him on or give him any ideas. Tell him straight up that he's not what you're looking for and he's not someone that you see yourself with. Be honest, while trying not to be mean. [ VkraM's advice column | Ask VkraM A Question ]

There are ways of turning someone down politely but you should fucking ignore what "all your friends and alot of people" say. They are not you and they aren't going to have to live with your decisions. Quit being such a manipulated little beastie and do what YOU want. [ koshii's advice column | Ask koshii A Question ]
OneMan answered Tuesday January 27 2004, 1:33 pm: Explain to him that you value the "friendship" too much to want to jeopardize it with "romance". Or simply tell him that you don't feel like you're ready for a relationship at the moment and it wouldn't be fair to either of you for you to enter into one knowing this. That should keep everyone happy and not hurt anyone's feelings too bad. [ OneMan's advice column | Ask OneMan A Question ]
Whatever answered Tuesday January 27 2004, 1:12 pm: You shouldn't do something that will make you feel uncomfortable just because your friends says so. Just simply tell your friends you don't like him and will not go out with him if he asks you out. If they are your real friends they would understand and will not force you to do anything that is against your will. This is what you call peer pressure and the way to handle this kind of situation is if you think you're right and they're wrong then follow what your heart and minds says and not what other people tells you to do.

Why not accept the date and explain to him that you don't want to be more than friends im sure he will understand.
