Cancel at the last minute saying a family member died and you are no longer up to dating.

I asked out my friend on a date suddenly and she said yes. But for the past few days, I've realized that I was never really attracted to her and the only reason I asked her out was some weird hormonal effect. I've realized that she totally isn't my type (both looks and personality-wise).

But we already have a date planned the first week we get back to college this August. How do I tell her nicely that I don't want the date anymore and just want to be friends? (because immediately after she said yes to me, she's been playing hard-to-get and acting flirty but on-and-off and ignoring me sometimes).


Why dont you take her anyways? A date is just a date. At the end of the date just tell her that you think u have different interests and dont think that it will go any further than just being friends. And you never know, the date might end up better than you think. What if other things about her help you think that you might infact be attracted to her?

To be honest with you, i am seeing someone that is one of my friends and I NEVER in my life thought that i would be seeing/sleeping with this person. They are just "that person" ya know? You dont think that you are going to be attracted to them until something happens and i think it was definitely something great that happened. I enjoy what is going on and we are both attracted to each other now, and either of us werent before.

So dont judge by just first appearance or however you know her, cause it could be very different if you opened new doors and options. Obviously she wants to go on the date with you cause she is intersted in seeing what you are about on a different level.

I say try it out and if not, then as simple as pie... just tell her that you dont think it will go anywhere.

Good Luck.

Depends on HOW you asked her. If you asker her to go on a formal type of date, back out of it by being kind, but honest. If you asked her in a casual sort, use the technicality that you only meant it as a friendly gathering.

Tell her that your Spy Sapper is on the fritz and can't go on a date until it's fixed. Then spend your days playing TF2.

I think you just go on the date and just act as if nothing has changed and just act like you guys are nothing but friends. It should be find.

Stick it in her poodinani right away....that always breaks the ice for me. Or if you really don't wanna go tell her your to buisy hanging out at www.digitalfuntown.com/homepage.php. And if she says she doesn't know what the is tell her she's deffinitely not cool enough to hang out with you.

A date does not have to end up with a relationship. It is a way to see if things go that way. You don't have to lie to her.

Another suggestion is that:

Your base is under attack by a Zerg Rush. You'll need more time and minerals.

What's the big deal going on a date with her.  Relax, you aren't asking her to marry you.  It's best that you don't be a schmuck and cancel the date.  Take her out be nice, talk to her, ask her questions, have a good time but it is not a commitment.  It is better you do this than ruin the friendship.
