Ever have a "friend" you couldn't stand?

This might sound weird because I'm a guy and this might all seem catty, but allow me to vent. There's this guy, let's call him "Dan", whom I can't stand.

I've known Dan since freshman year since he lived right across the hall. Dan ingratiates himself in a lot of social circles. He's a social butterfly, but not a pack leader type. In other words, he's more likely to offer color commentary than initiate discussion on his own.

I'd like Dan if I saw him once in a while, but one of the circles he's ingratiated himself to is my own, and whenever I make plans or have fun ideas (I'm more a pack leader and organizer type), I feel obligated to include him because I feel like everybody else likes him. I can't openly give him any kind of cold shoulder because he'll be around anyways, and it'll create awkward tension. Besides, he's mostly a decent guy, in moderate doses.

Thing is, I don't think I'm alone in thinking this. It's very easy to get along with Dan because he's good at holding conversation, but to me and a few others, we don't appreciate his, how shall I put it, cloyingness? It's good to have lots of friends and acquaintances, but a man's gotta show his loyalty, and Dan is not good at that.

If you got the impression that Dan is a smooth, good-looking charmer, then I painted the wrong portrait. Dan is actually quite ugly and likes to wear grey t-shirts and raggedy shorts. I don't know why he pisses me off, but he just does.

Anybody else ever have someone they felt they hated irrationally?

If you can't 'stand to be around someone', then how are they defined as your friend?

Oh yes, there's a "Dan" in every school.

Me though, I just ignore anyone I don't like. Internally I want to tell the to GTFO, but I lack the balls to do so.
