    I felt that same way about a guy i went to law school with. I knew he was SO into me and I just didn't feel like he was my type. I ended up marrying him and we have a baby on the way. I say go on that date, because you really never know!

    Same sort of thing here. I worked with a guy who kept asking me out for 6 months. I wasn't interested in him, but finally agreed to go over to his apartment where he had made dinner for us. We've been married for going on 22 years now.

    That's too cute. (:

    Jeez, honesty, moral code, etc. etc.

    You don't dig him. Don't get his hopes up by going on any kind of date with him.

    Going Dutch means sweet FA (this may be lost in translation). Do not see him if you have no intentions of the kind of relationship he wants.

    FFS ...

    How is it being "nice" to go out with someone in whom you are not interested when you're just going to get their hopes even further to eventually dash them? Wouldn't the "nice" things to do is just be honest with him, instead of stringing him along?

    This ^^^^^^^ a million times ...

    But then... that guy you like. Probably 95% going to dump in if you do go out with him.
    Or you'll get married then get divorced.
    Or, you'll get married, live to an old age but you'll die first.

    Whatever, you're going to their hopes up massively further, then break their heart a lot more.
    Best just to say 'no'.

    If he's already a bit stalky, might make him worse. Or he might accept he's had his shot.

    I would tell him that you're not interested, and will never be.


    It's simple.

    Yep.

    So have you had an opportunity yet to tell him no and for him not to ask again as you are definitely not interested in going on a date with him?

    Just tell him no, there's no way you are obliged to go on a date with him because he's a 'nice' guy and keeps asking you out, to be honest if he was really a nice guy he would accept the fact you don't want to go out with him and stop asking...if you're not interested in him and see no potential then there is no point going out with him.
