Awkward Situation #2

I feel bad about something I shouldn't feel bad about. I did dinner with a friend I haven't seen in ages a couple weeks ago. It went well, but I was a bit leery (because me being me, I'm always worried guys are going to think more of a casual dinner than it really is). Well it was an ok time, we caught up, I stressed the whole "I'm happy with how my life is right now," ya know, all that jazz.

So I get an email today that says something along the lines of "want to dinner/movie. I'd love to take you out." OOF!!! So of course my first thought is AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW FUCK. Same with the second and third. So I replied and politely said that it's a very sweet offer but honestly, I'm not looking for anything more than a friendship.

I know he had to have read the reply because I saw him online a few times, but he didn't say anything or reply...

I know I shouldn't feel bad, because I was honest. I really have no attraction to him other than being a friend. I was honest. I didn't play the "sure" card where I agree and just keep putting it off. I didn't even remotely lead him on either! I was VERY cognisant of it. *sigh* Haven't gone through one of these situations in MANY moons, and while it is very flattering, it's just rough. OOF!
