I need some "guy" advice. I know this guy, Dallas, and I met him years ago when he first moved to my town.
When I moved back from Regina, SK I started working at the Co-op here and he came in and said that HE was moving to Regina to work. I stopped in there on one of my trips to visit my brother and he gave me his work card with all his info. I emailled him at X-mas to see if he wanted to get together, but he wasn't there.
Okay, a little background. I met him when I was with Jodi (my long time on again off again ex boyfriend) and I was still managing at the Subway here. He kind of made it obvious that he liked me, and I really liked the attention. Well one of the million times Jodi and I broke up I was kind of seeing Dallas. But I didn't really like him that way, ya know? He was at a party with my sister once and he kept talking all about me. So I think he really likes me alot.
Anyhoo, as soon as he got back from X-mas holidays he emailled me back and right away worked in asking me if I was dating anyone. I told him no, and then he said next time I was in Regina that he'd take me out for supper and we could go out or something.
So he just replied to a forwarded email this morning asking if I like Nickelback (a Cdn band). I said I didn't mind them and that "they are going to be in Regina, right?" Well he just emailled me back and asked me if I'd like to be his date. This is copied and pasted from his email:
Anyways I might have a couple of tickets to Nickleback and if I get them I'm
looking for a date. So if you like them......... It lands on a Sat night so you
could come in for the weekend and visit your bro, I would get to see you again
and you get to see ME! Let me know if you are interested. Jan 31st is the
concert
Now, first off, I already made plans to go and see my friend Carla that weekend But I am sure she wouldn't be too mad. I emailled her and asked her opinion, too!. Second, I don't really know many of Nickelback's songs. Third, I don't think I feel "that way" about him. Four, (don't think I am a big loser) I have never been to a concert and wouldn't know what to do, ya know??
So what do you think?

It definately sounds like this guy is into you. However, if you don't feel the same way about him, you can't help it! I'd definately make it clear that you aren't interested. To be honest, I have been in this situation before, and if you don't "nip it in the bud" early on, or you're going to be miserable. Trust me. And guess what!? I know who Nickelback is...they're pretty big here in Chicago! Anywhoo. I think I answered your question, but if not, let me know! Keep us posted!

I agree with Trix let him know that you are not interested in him "that way"
I also know who nickelback is actuall there is this one song that I love by them called someday which is all over the radio here now well it has been for a while.
Just let him know that you dont mind being friends but thats it nothing more better to be honest now that to have it bite ya in the butt later.

Way past the dating scene here hehe

I post on another board as well, and they all think that I should tell him how I feel, but still go to the concert. And my friend thinks I should too. I guess I never know, right?

Well I do think if you are up front with your feelings and he still wants to go as Friends then GO FOR IT!
