I need help ASAP, answers by like noon today. hahaha

Okay, well, I was set up on this blind date with this guy that goes to my college. We have been fb chatting, texting, and we talked on the phone for an hour and a half one night. Pretty much, I lead him to believe that I was interested in him because I was.

The problem is, I just found out that last night...the guy I have had a crush on for all of senior year and now my first year in college is very interested in me but just has a shy way of showing it. He and I are very good friends and he has been speaking to a friend of mine who told me that he would be asking me out tomorrow. Here's the complicated part.

The guy I was set up with I am meeting today at our college coffee shop and I don't know what to tell him. I definitely would love to be friends with him. But, what in the world do I say if he asks me out or asks if I'm interested in him?

I want to be with my guy friend relaitonship wise. Had my friends not gotten involved in the first place with my "love life" I never would have even been talking to this guy that I am meeting today. Any suggestions about what I should say to him to let him down easily but also let him know that I really would like to be friends with him?

Thanks sooo much!!

ANY ADVICE WOULD HELP...trust me!

A female reader, CindyCares Italy +, writes (2 April 2010):

CindyCares agony auntWhy don't you simply tell him the truth ? It is the simplest ,and most respectful ,way. If he asks you if you are interested in him, you tell him you that he impressed you positively and that you would like to be friends wuth him, but you are not ready for anything closer ,also because you've got someone else in mind.

Maybe your date will be a bit disappointed but I am sure he will appreciate that you are not going to lead him on and waste his time.

telling the truth ,of course with tact and kindness, is never insulting or offensive.
