would you go on a date with a guy(or girl) if you weren't really THAT interested?

Ok..
Say..(hypothetically ahem.. :rolleyes: ) that a guy or girl that u dont really know well but uve seen around and got ur number from someone asked you on a date would you go?? Considering the fact that he seems rather sane and u havent actually been a date for quite a well and it could be just a lil bit of fun ..But you like someone else (altho u have little development there coz u dont think they like u bak or just live far away etc..) and you cant really be that bothered to start anything at the mo due to school commitments..
but then again ur friends think hes pretty cute and want u to give it a go..
Any advice wud b gud rite now
Ta xxxx

Ps.. this situation is obviously hypothetically.... :rolleyes:

Well, to answer your "hypothetical" question... I'd say yeah why not? Nothing to lose and it might be fun. :smile:
I'd say why not, but try to be sure that you don't lead him/her on. Be straight with him/her as to where they stand, unless you feel things might change.

Nah, t'would just be awkward.

I once said I would go out with someone I really wasn't interested in. I then spent the next couple of weeks thinking of excuses. Fun.

Oh good, you're from Sheffield. Otherwise I'd get quite worried that someone was asking TSR about me.

No, wouldn't be worth it.
If you know what you're doing, you can always go on the date. Since you don't know this person, maybe you'll end up appreciating this person. But just watch out, going on a date isn't innocent. A lot of guys interpret this in different ways. Some guys will see this as a big sign to say you're totally into them.

Just be careful...

I really don't think you should-it's really not fair on the other person if your not on the same level as them-think about them and how hurt they would be to spend time with someonew who was only half-heartedly enjoying it. Imagine how gutted he would feel as a 'time-filler'. I could never do that to someone.

It's a date not a solemn exchange of vows! :rolleyes:

As a date, I just meant going out as friends to be honest. No need for anything else to happen. If you make it clear you see them as a friend, then all is well.

The only trouble is that some guys will still see it as an invitation to try anything on.

No harm in going out with someone once. If you decide afterwards that you don't want to see him again, no harm done.

See this is the attitude of so many people, dating is a part of your life so you should take it seriously and consider the other person.
