The phone rang...before I could think I answered it. As soon as I did I knew exactly what was going on. I was about to be put in a really awkward situation. There is guy that lives in my old neighbhorhood who happens to be single. Last summer I was told everyone was trying to set us up. I kindly spread the word that I wasn't really interested. I thought it had. We see each other frequently and it's been nothing but platonic. He's a great guy...I mean a REALLY great guy. Unfortunately I don't have that physical attraction to him that is so greatly needed. When you know you know. It isn't going to work (plus our age difference doesn't really excited me).
So back to the phone call...I started pretty simple although I knew right away where it was headed. Here's my problem...I don't know how to graciously say no without making things awkward between us. We see each other often and I really don't want things to be weird. I also don't want to agree to go to lunch with him (which is what he ended up asking) and lead him on. Any advice on how be gracious about this?
