I just met this guy (literally, we met last saturday at my cousin's birthday party) and already he says he likes me. My first reaction when I saw him was that he was kind of cute. So we flirted a lot throughout the party, and I kind of led him on (I'll admit, I was curious at first.) However, by the end of the day I realized that he wasn't my type. He was a little too nice, and honestly, I'm a little concerned that he started liking me so much already when we just met! Now he wants my number, and he even asked me out on a date, but I refused. I appreciate the effort and everything, and I feel a little bad for leading him on. How do I break it to him gently that I don't like him like that?

It's just a date, right? But trust your instincts--If you feel the guy could be a controlling "stalker" type, then tell him straight out that you're not interested. You don't have to be mean, but make sure he understands. Tell him that you're flattered, but you're just not interested in him. Although you're sure (since he's such a nice person) that miss right is somewhere close. That's about as gently as you can let him down. It's kinder to let him know right now, in no uncertain terms, that it's not gonna happen. [ cookie8888's advice column | Ask cookie8888 A Question ]
