    I agreed to a date with a fella I knew to see in a nightclub, and meant it at the time, but after talking to him a few times on the phone, don't want to go on the date. It's not that he's not a nice fella, I'm just not that into him.

    What do I say?? I don't want him to think I was leading him on

    What happened from agreeing to deciding you didn't want to go on the date? If you're not interested, just say something along the lines of "Listen, I think you're a really great guy but I just see us two being friends. I'm really sorry if I've led you on but I don't want you to think I'm wasting your time by going out on a date with you".

    It will such for him to hear but wouldn't you rather be honest with him?

    Say what you would want to hear in the same situation, keep it simple and keep it honest.

    Tell him that you think that he seems like a nice and attractive guy but from talking further on the phone you think you're probably not that compatible so you'd prefer not to waste his time.

    That or tell him you're back with an ex which I've always done...an unashamed cop out to be fair but let's people down gently! :o

    Just repeat what you have just written:

    "After talking to you a few times on the phone, I don't want to go on the date. It's not that your not a nice fella, it's just I am that into you."

    That's it. That's all you need to say.

    Okay - as you no longer require advice, I'll lock the thread.

    All the best. :cool:
