How to say no?

[Wonder.]

I might have a big problem here.

There's this kid who I kinda talk to sometimes (I've never had an actualconversation with him) and today he gave me his deviantart username and stuff (he doesn't have facebook surprisingly).

Then a couple hours ago one of my friends who's also friends with him texted me asking if I said yes and I responded "Yes to what?" and she responded with nevermind. I really hope it's not what I think it is.

In case it is like a dating-type thing she was talking about, how do I say no to him? I have no want to date anyone now, nor will I anytime in the foreseeable future. I don't even know him!

There is a good possibility that's not what she's talking about, but just in case: How do you tell someone no?!


Also, I do want to be friends with him. I'm sure that makes it even more complicated.



Fuck.

Well, the easy answer is you just say no. You say you DO want to be friends with him, though. So, if he does end up asking, I would say "I'm sorry, I don't want to date ANYONE right now. I hardly even know you as things stand, although I would like to get to know you better if you'd be willing--as a friend." Now here's something else I want to say though. You are, essentially, just assuming all of this is going to happen, and that this is what your friend was talking about wen she asked if you said yes. In all honesty, you very well could be overthinking this whole thing, and she could be talking about something entirely different. I wouldn't stress out too much about it, hun. And I'm always here to talk if you need me!

Yeah. I over-think things and get worried easily. Especially during seasonal depression periods.

I just want to know what I'm gonna say if the situation ever pops up with anyone at all. I don't really see it happening but just in case.

Thank you for your advice. I don't know why I didn't think of actually saying I don't want to date anyone. My mind works in mysterious ways. If I didn't ask for advice, I honestly just would've been like "No." and that's it.

I hope I'm overthinking this.

Fuck!


I was half right. Half right is even worse than being right. I'm not going to say what the actual question was, but today he texted me and said something like he feels awkward when he's around someone he thinks is "cute." I texted him back saying I'm working (which is true).

I hate meeting new people.
