My friend is going to ask someone out for me who i don't want to go out with!?

Question

Okay. I do want to go out with him... kind of. So theres this guy, one of my friends, who my best friend thinks would be perfect for me. She's going to ask him if he'll go out with me next Tuesday, and I'm not sure if i really want it, or not... I'm so afraid of him rejecting me. And every conversation we've had has been so awkward, i'm sure it will be even worse if we're dating. I've never had a boyfriend before and im just worried of what might happen... any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hey, don't panic! ;)

This could work out for good.  Tell your friend you're only interested in one date, and also see if it can't be a blind date on his part.  That way he will be somewhat surprised to find that it's you (or at least be kept guessing) and will be prepared to bring his best, no matter what.  So, if he says yes, then you learn a little bit about him, get to have a conversation with him in a different setting, which could open things up a little, and you get to find out whether you really think he's boyfriend material.  You can't lose here, because if he says no, he's not rejecting you, he's rejecting your friend's proposal.  In this case, shrug it off, because you're not crazy into him and don't stand to lose anything from this situation.  If something is meant to happen, it will, and you will know how to react no matter what.  Just trust yourself, and have fun!
