What will you be doing over the Easter break? >>

mate

I have this guy mate i met about 4 years ago at college,
i didn;t see him again untill last year, childish i know but i snogged him in a club then used his mate to get him away from me (coz well i don't know why) but since all of that we have become good mates and we went on a few dates but it never really took off more of a it was dead in the water sort of thing!!

so we haven't spoke for a few weeks and i text him to see if he wants to meet up for a drink! (nothing in it just a drink)

and he said i wish you would let me take you on a date, he has said this kind of thing before and i feel so bad coz he is purely a mate!!

ive told him about 4 times that we are just mates and its annoying me now!!
knowing me ill start shouting at him so how can i make him see this without upsetting him, coz he is a nice guy!! i just feel terrible for keep saying no!
