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).

You'll need more time and minerals. kaamni4 Posted at 2:31 pm on July 17, 2008 tell her that you just like her as a friend that your feelings have changed but that you would liek to hang out with her as friends, if she still wants. erolimo Posted at 1:26 pm on July 17, 2008 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. armygirll88 Posted at 8:48 am on July 17, 2008 i would either tell her the truth or just go out with her anyway you never know what could happen. things could change. PartyGurl1 Posted at 8:11 am on July 17, 2008 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. talkofla Posted at 1:10 am on July 17, 2008 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. Kenneth Hardy Posted at 12:08 pm on July 16, 2008 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. DearRainy Posted at 1:57 am on July 16, 2008 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. cha chi Posted at 1:41 am on July 16, 2008 Quote: from like BAMM at 3:53 pm on July 15, 2008 I asked out my friend on a date suddenly and she said yes.

(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. noahtheman Posted at 1:28 am on July 16, 2008 Cancel at the last minute saying a family member died and you are no longer up to dating. Evolutionism Posted at 4:06 pm on July 15, 2008 Quote: from Troll1000 at 3:55 pm on July 15, 2008 just go out and have a good time anyway? nothing has to happen Yup I agree. Unless it's clear that it's date with romantic intentions. Also, Like BAMM, you may want to take some more time to think about these things next time you ask a girl on a date. Good luck. You're in a sticky situation.   Millerr Posted at 4:06 pm on July 15, 2008 sry i cant daddydwm Posted at 4:04 pm on July 15, 2008 dont even be stupid to go out with her without telling her the truth...next time you talk to her explain that you feel the friendship is more important and you dont want to do anything to jeopardize that. then if she is willing knowing the rules go on the date Most recent 15 of 26 previous replies displayed.
