Question Posted Saturday January 23 2010, 12:17 am
I went out last week with a friend and her boyfriend, and we met up with her boyfriend's friends... one of them liked me, but I was in no way attracted to him. I was having a good time, and we talked a lot. By the end of the night, I gave him my number (i'm new to the neighborhood), and told him that we can all hang out- to sort of hint that i was not interested in going out with him alone.
He called a few days later and left a message- he asked if I wanted to meet with him at a cafe. I really do not want to send him the wrong message. I called him back tonight and left a message telling him that I am busy tomorrow, but can meet up the next day for a little bit, and to either call/text me the address. I would not mind having lunch with him, but do not know how to hint that a) I am not interested in that way, and b) I do not want to go out with him alone, but maybe meet up as a group of friends, in a casual setting. Any ways to hint at it without making him think I am interested? Again, I am not attracted to him at all- there is no chance.

Just tell him that you like his friend as a friend and nothing more and ask him if his friend is a good guy and is going to be cool with this. If his friend is not going to be ok with it then by all means don't meet up with him. If he says he will be ok with it then meet up with him. Just when you meet up tell him your happy he called because your new in town and really excited about meeting new friends so he knows up front without hurting his feelings. Just make sure you treat him as a friend not to give him mixed signals. Good luck. [ Sarsmith04's advice column | Ask Sarsmith04 A Question ]
