frenchgirl Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 This guy is an acquaintance of mine - not quite a friend but no stranger either. He kissed me the other day, which was sweet. He's a nice guy and we have common friends. He just invited me out on a dinner date and I don't know what to do! I feel guilty as I like this other guy better. How can I let him go gently? Should I go for dinner and explain it to him? Should I just refuse his invitation?
Tyra Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I would go on the date.But I would just explain to him how you feel about him.Which is he's a very nice guy,but you don't see a relationship among us.This way,he won't get the wrong impression from you and he wouldn't expect nothing more or less from you in the future.He'll respect you since you are being honest.

Thanks! But by going on the date, am I not creating further illusion for the guy? I've already created expectations from him by kissing him!
Tyra Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 You're so right.Then again,just don't go.LOL!!
goldencloud Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 gosh, i once got stuck in the same scenario i kissed an acquanitance friend of mine...and before you know it the dinner invites etc start flying in at this point i was not feeling him anyore...i had a slight thing for him when the kiss happened but that was that, and like u i liked another guy more in any case went out to this muscial with him and 2 of his friends...i was BENT on showing we were just friends, but unfortunatley he was, and towards the end of the show he starts...holding...my hands...and its only nice when u LIKE the person, i was majorly grossed out...and u know maybe its not his fault...and the case is because i didnt explain to him i didnt like him in that way yeah so all in all what im saying is...going on the dinner will give him false pretences, so better to explain it beforehand..at least this way u wont lose a friend!
JoeNewbie Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Since you have common friends, tell him you are busy and that you'll see him at the next gathering. That's a clear "no" and also a friendly reaction.
BentSpine Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 I was at the other end recently. I wish the woman would have told me (with words): "I have changed my mind."
