C'mon People! Advice on 1-sided love??

I'm going on a first (and quite hopefully, the last) date with one of my guy friends saturday night...





The guy let me know quite obviously that he's into me, but I don't like him like that (I don't wanna risk our friendship - that, plus I'm just not attracted to him)..





I tried to tell him, but he wouldn't listen and asked me to give him a shot, to see if I wanted to date him. I said yes cause I felt bad, but I already know there's nothing to ';try'; cause I won't change my mind.





So my question is: how do I behave on saturday? how do I act around him and how do I tell him that I'm not really interested?C'mon People! Advice on 1-sided love??
Take along a hot friend to present to him....someone hotter then you.





Then see his reaction.





OR





Keep a distance on that date, and be friendly at the same time. If he tries anything theres nothing you can do about it except on that moment tell him how you really feel, then it's up to his maturity to move on. Don't go with the ';flow'; just to not see him hurt ...forget that, it has to happen sooner or later..it's a time bomb.





Do not cancel the date! It will make him feel twice as bad as before then it's risking your friendship with him.C'mon People! Advice on 1-sided love??
Be yourself first of all, and be honest with him in a gentle way. You said that you have already told him that your not interested in him that way and he wouldn't listen? Well, sometimes we have to brutely honest with people like this and sure at first their feelings are hurt but I have found that in the long run they all come back around and will thank you some day for being honest with them. you know, tell him that you like to hang out like the guys do, but that there is no chemistry there. You like him for who he is as a friend to you and thats how you want it to stay. Good Luck
You have to just be up front and tell him that you are not interested, by you going on a date you gave him ALOT of hope for the future. I know that you dont want to seem mean but by sugar coating it hes just gonna find another way to ask the same questions.





Just simply tell him ';I think we would be better of as friends cause I dont really see you in a romantic way'; The more you try to be nice the longer he will try to pursue you and eventually he will get on your nerves to the point wheere you just wanna tell him back the hell up I dont like you and never well .
Do NOT go on that first date with him. If you do, you will only give him false hope that he may yet change your mind and get you to date him again. You should have never agreed to it in the first place, knowing how you feel about him, and he should have never persisted when you initially said no. Cancel the date and do not let him beg/bribe/blackmail you into another one.
