I rejected him and have agreed to meet up as friends but don't want it to be awkward. Tips? Help?

He sort of asked me to meet up as friends and sort of asked me out. I was a bit nonplussed and said no (in a slightly weird way, as I was very surprised!).





We've talked on MSN since and it was quite awkward and messy, due to some crossed wires and just general awkwardness. We're meeting up this Sunday (not sure when, not sure what) and was wondering if anyone could offer any advice as to what to do and how to tone down the awkwardness...





Thank you in advance.

you shouldn't hang because that will just make him like you more. Eventually he;ll ask you out again then the awkwardness will arise again. This guys into you in a different way %26amp; isn't gonna change overnight so i suggest if your gonna hang bring friends so you both have somthing to focus on %26amp; not the silence of awkwardness. He may also still be hurt from the rejection so it could be majorly awkward. MM.. if you think this guy is pretty nice %26amp; easygoing then try hanging alone, but limit the time. Maybe it'll turn out okay, but i just don't see any big guarentee it will be like that. Chances are slim..
Reply:If you feel awkward and don't feel attracted to him then I think you should have told him "No". You might send the wrong message by accepting his invitation. He may think he still has a chance with you.





You should be upfront about hanging out with him. Just tell him that you aren't attracted to him and don't want to be anything more than friends. You should do it early on or before you meet up with him.





Then just go and try to have fun. If it starts going bad... have a backup plan or just tell him that you need to leave because you have something that needs your attention.
Reply:yeah....don't go
Reply:You don't feel comfortable about this at all. I can tell by your post. Find a way to cancel out of the meeting. It may even be uncomfortable for him too.

Reply:awkwardness is part of the package


i'd suggest you two stay away from each other for a while bfore meeting up as frineds
Reply:he still likes you and hopes that he can do anything yo change you mind about him. this meeting as friends is just a ploy to try to put the moves on you. their is no way it wont be awkward
Reply:You can't reject someone and then hang out with them.Thats whack.
Reply:Just be yourself and let things unravel themselves.
Reply:If i was to meet some one i met on msn I would make sure it is in a well lit public place never can tell these days...Be careful make sure your meeting is safe first of all.


then just talk and see how it goes excuse your self at anytime when you are ready to leave I don't know your age but if you are a minor don't meet him at all to many sickos
