Guys, I need help xC So I'm a freshman in college, and it's only the third week of school. On monday, I was having a late dinner by myself because my roommate had already eaten. I was sitting there on my phone when this random guy comes up to me. He asked me something that I couldn't hear and asked him to repeat himself a couple of times before I realized he was asking if he could sit with me. I was like, "oh, uh yeah, sure." Kind of surprised. I wasn't really sure what was happening, but eventually he's like, "can I have your number." and I awkwardly give it to him. He asked me to grab some food today and was like, "so it's a date." He walked me back from where we ate and wanted to hold hands, but I found it a little awkward and was like, "Sorry, I don't have a lot of dating experience so this is kind of awkward." and we didn't end up holding hands, just walking. I kind of don't know what to do from here though. He's nice and all, but I don't really feel anything towards him and I don't even really know if I even want to date in the first place (heck, I'm even questioning if I'm asexual at this point). I didn't date in high school and I'm kind of at a loss right now :/ Does anyone know how I should deal with this? I don't want to lead him on, but I also don't really want to go out with him :x

    just say no. it's best to be blunt instead of keeping their hopes up. of course you want to do it in a way where he doesn't end up like one of those guys that kill you for rejecting them.

    You're not physical attractive to him. Prob get to know him better and you never know, maybe you will end up liking him. But, if you really do not want go out with him, you can either be blunt that you have no intrest in him which result him feeling embarrassed and prob mad. Or you can just avoid him by less talking or don't go to any of those dates, make up excuses that you have plans already. He'll eventually get the hint.

    Best of luck, hope things goes well.

    Just plain straight tell him that you're not romantically interested in him. No point in delaying it, especially since he is so obvious.

    I honestly think he is to forceful, I mean you just met
    Tell him to give you some space and to start as friends

    Thanks for the help everyone! I wasn't feeling very confident about the whole thing, but your suggestions help C:

    I don't have much dating experience either but tbh he sounds too forward.. I would feel uncomfortable for sure if a guy I barely know asked to hold hands with me.
    If you aren't interested, let him know asap, rather than keeping his hopes up :) ask if you can just start as casual friends or texting buddies for a bit, maybe

    Yeah, I told him I wasn't interested. It all worked out for me in the end!
