A friend of the family has set me up with a guy. We're the same age, grew up near each other, and actually know some of the same people. We've only talked on the phone. He's hinted at meeting. I keep changing the subject. Don't know why I am such a geek for meeting up. Dating was a lot more fun back when I was 19 and didn't care.
If you are shy why don't you suggest meeting for coffee only. Set an amount of time for the date to be over, and get it over with. Chat as friends if he is not your type, enjoy your coffee, and when the time is up, let him know you enjoyed meeting him and if he asks if he can call you further, tell him how you feel. Say you don't feel the chemical attraction, and wish him well. If you like him, tell him that perhaps you can meet again during the weekend, and, if he calls you can suggest that you go to the movies and to dinner afterwards. Keep it casual until you know he is good or gone.
Why don't you avoid doing something "datey," like meeting for drinks or going to dinner, and do something fun instead? What's something you really like to do? Just tell him, "You sound like an interesting guy, but the dating scene isn't my favorite. Do you want to go rollerblading with me?" Go do something you'll enjoy instead of having some awkward traditional date.
The more you evade this guy, the more he will think you are not interested. If you are interested, do something before he writes you off. He's dropping hints, so respond.
