There's a man at my job who is showing interest in me. Stupidly, I gave him my phone number and agreed to see a movie with him. I said yes just to be nice and not to embarrass him but now, I feel like if we go out I'll be leading him on. Since we work together, it's going to be a bit awkward between us if I'm mean about it. I aviod his calls and try to stay away from him at work so he doesn't bring up the movie date, but he's a bit persistant. I asked him if he thought our outing was a "date" and he said. "No. It' just a friend thing." But I know better because he tries to flirt with me and whatnot. He wants more than a friendship. The main reasons why I'm not interested in him are because he is about 18 years older than me (I'm 20) and I like someone else. I could go out with him once and get it over with but I'd feel bad having him waste his time on a girl who just isn't interested. What should I do?

To avoid the awkwardness, and guarantee that it is not a date, invite a few more people from work to come along, and turn it into a team building evening. That way you are keeping your word, yet sending a clear message.

Just go to the movie and tell him in person how you feel. One big piece of advice is this. Do not date people from work. If things don't go well, you get to face that mistake on a daily basis and it will get weird.

Just be honest with him. Tell him you are just interested in him as a friend. You may beel bad about it but can still do it in a nice way.
