First Date Disaster! Help!
So a guy in my Photo 1 class asked if I'd like to meet up for lunch. I said sure, even though I just got out of a serious, long relationship this November. I figured it couldn't hurt to get out and try to have some fun.
Anyway, the date was awful. He blew his nose at the table and later used the same napkin to wipe his mouth. He kept trying to get me drunk, saying "You can just sleep it off at my house and then drive home". On top of all of this, he was ridiculously forward and really, really lacked general intelligence. Even after I told him I was uncomfortable kissing on the first date, he still asked me at the end of the night if I was going to kiss him. It was awkward and infuriating. Unfortunately, he's all ready all but confessed that he's really into me and despite it all he's a sweet guy. Plus, I have to see him every day in class.
So, how do I let him down easy?

"I'm not ready to date right now." is a good one, espcailly if it's true.
Although frankly, I'm all for saying "I'm just not that into you." It's honest and it kills the false hope that so many people cling too.
So unless you can completely avoid this guy socailly, I would just be honest with him (not in the 'You are a disgusting pig' way) and tell him that you just don't feel it and aren't interested in dating him at all.
It seems harsh, but in the end it saves both of you awkwardness and embrassment.

Tell him something like
"I know you're really into me, and you're a really awesome/sweet guy but I think we would be better off as friends, and I mean it"
just be nice about it and let him know that you still want to be "cool"
