I'm not very skilled at the art of dealing with delicate social situations and I could use some help. I'm pretty useless when it comes to dealing with guys especially.
Tonight I decided to get out of my apartment to get a change of scenery. I walked for a while and then stopped in a little coffee shop to have tea and work on my history paper a little. Some guy came over to talk to me and we ended up talking for a little while. He seemed nice and we ended up exchanging email addresses before he had to leave.
Now here's the problem. He did ask me if I had someone in my life. I told him I didn't. Without making a clear promise, I also told him I might like to go to a movie with him eventually or meet with him again.
I did like him, he was very friendly. However, I am not interested in even considering dating him. Not because there's anything wrong with him, but I have someone else I am interested in and anyone else would just be a "consolation prize" right now. I was enjoying the flirting, but I don't want to give the wrong idea.
How do I make it clear that I really only want friendship?
