Am i just being shallow??

Okayy just looking for some advice.
I've lately got to know this really nice guy who i get on really well with, and he's made it pretty clear he likes me.
However he's not my type at all and i know this makes me sound like a horrible person (i'm not...) but he's also carrying quite a lot of "extra baggage" as it were and i dont just mean a couple of pounds... normally i dont judge someone on their looks but this time i cant help feeling it will hold me back, sometimes when i'm with him i cant help feeling embarrassed.
Please don't judge me ,i just wondered what you guys thought i should do, should i just go for it or try just stick to being friends.

if you feel embarrassed with him then you shouldn't waste his time leading him on.


:ditto:

Why bother trying to be with someone if you're not proud to show them off? And for God's sake don't let him catch on to how you feel, he'd be mortified.

If you're out of his league then explain that you only see him as a friend.

Like the others said don't lead him on if you don't want to be with him, it's not rocket science.

Tell him to stop with the take aways. Burger King is not good for him!!

Why not suggest a healthy option such as the salad bag and iced water.

Firstly, you are not a bad person!

Secondly, you have to find someone some what attractive to be able to date them. Don't think that as this guy is fat no one will date him, as I bet someone will like him so much that they will look past all his physical imperfections and will want him for him.
