I did the stupidest thing yesterday...and now I need help please

[*~*stacey*~*]

Ok so in class yesterday this guy who I sit next to and am semi friends with asked me out and being stupid and not realising at the time that I was being asked out (its been 3 years people) I was all like yeah lets go get coffee some time and it wasn't until I was home that I realised what had just happened. The thing is how do I tell him I don't wanna date him and just wanna be friends? I don't wanna hurt him cause I like having him as a friend and I have to sit next to him in class until July so I don't want any awkwardness. He's just not my type and truth be told he's a little arrogant and while I can deal with that in a causual friendship I cant date someone like that.....help I'm pretty much having a panic attack

p.s sorry about the really bad sentence structure of this

Hey Stacey. Uhhmm i'm not sure if i'll be much help.

If it was me i'd just tell him. There's nothing better than the truth. Obviously i'd do it gently.
Ehhm....I suppose you could try going out on a date with him. I mean not all guys are what they seem. He could actually be someone you could come to like.
But if you really don't want to just casually bring up the subject and say that you're not sure. That you don't want to try dating with him (in a nice way, of course) Because it's not something you want to do. tell him that you'd rather that you stay friends because you don't want something like a bad relationship or something to come between the two of you.

I don't knoiw how much help that was.

no it was helpful, I was considering going on the date but just go for coffee because it's casual enough to be just a friend outing (because I go to coffee with all my friends no matter if they're a boy or girl) and if worst comes to worst I can always brush it off as an honest misunderstanding (which until about 11:30 last night it was).

Are there any guys out there who have an opinion on this or a way they would prefer to be gently let down.....I really feel like such a terrible person right now

That happened to me. During gym, this one guy asked me to the Valentine's Day dance. I said yes at first, but then I thought about it and I didn't want to go. I felt bad for telling him that I didn't want to go.
