Alright, I admit, this entry is about a 'boy I just met.' But it's not full of hearts and glitter.

See, this guy tells his friend that he really likes me right? And that friend, who's also my friend tells me so. I don't know 'the guy' and don't really want to say 'hell no' about someone I don't know. I'm too nice for that apparently.

But I'm not about to say 'hell yes' either, I don't date guys I don't know very well, it hasn't ended well in the past and I've decided that I'm going to stop putting my hand in the mousetrap.

So, I agree to meet them all for supper. It was fun, I admit, he's a really nice guy. And we seem to like all the same things.

The problem? After hanging out with him for awhile I think I've decided I only like him as a friend. But it's painfully clear that he's head over heels for me. And tonight we're going out for supper, I should never have agreed to that...

So, now I have a feeling I'm walking into something he thinks is a date, and to me is just dinner with a friend.... I am going to tell him that I only see him as a friend, that's not an issue.

The issue is, at what point do I say it? Supper will be awkward if I tell him straight out, but if I save it for last he'll try buying my meal. And then I'd feel bad. I'd tell him over facebook or msn, therefore not having to be present should there be tears and heartbreak... But I feel my friends, no matter how new they are, deserve better than being let down via the internet.

I really hope he brings up the topic of whether or not we are a couple, because then I can just n** it in the bud right there.

If only my online apathy for this drama bullshit could be transfered into my real life dealings...
