He doesn't get it
This guy just asked me to homecoming and I said yes because I don't get asked out often. But, I don't like him as more than a friend, let alone a date.
I told him I can't stay for all of homecoming, so he asked me out and luckily I had an excuse.
I still onsider him a friend, but he seems determined.
He's really shy and I know it must have taken a lot to ask me out, but I don't want to go out with him.
Help?

Be honest with him! Just tell him that you only consider him as a friend and thats it. I've had some guy friends who have asked me out and I've said no. And even after saying no they will continue to ask but I let them know that I only consider them friends. If he continues to ask you even after talking to him about it than ignore him and eventually he'll get the clue. I know that sounds mean but hey if you tell him once or twice than he should get the point that you're not interested! Good luck!

Be honest with him. Tell him your super excited to be going to homecoming together as friends, and that you don't want him to get the wrong idea. If your not honest he's not going to get the hint. You said yes to his reaquest so of course he is going to think that your at least slightly interested in him. If you don't tell him the truth your going to end up hurting him more than if you did tell him the truth.

So, you've accepted his invitation to homecoming, and you've declined a date because you had other plans. How is the poor guy supposed to read from these responses that you're not interested in him?
You've got to be upfront with him. Let him know that you're not interested in starting a romantic relationship with him, but that you love being friends with him. It might hurt him temporarily, but it's a lot better than leading him along accidentally.
