Question

Dating > from anonymous3 answers

A coworker of mine just asked me out. He's had a bit of a crush on me, I think, for a couple of months now, and he finally got up the courage to ask me out. I like him a lot, but really only as a friend. I don't think there's any spark what-so-ever between us. BUT at the same time, the holidays are coming up and I really would like to be part of a couple for the holiday season. It's just more fun, yknow? So would it be awful and terrible of me to date him casually for a few months, even though I don't think it's gonna go anywhere? I mean, I wouldn't make him any promises or anything. I just want someone to have fun with and take to parties. Is that so very wrong? Or should I just resign myself to being single for xmas?..

You ought to start dating him, but not simply to use him as a holiday boyfriend...Go out with him and see if the chemistry can develop. After all, you're accustomed to thinking of him as a coworker, an acquaintance, at the most a friend -- perhaps when you're actually dating, you'll see another side of him that will make the sparks fly. If so, then full steam ahead, destination Christmas. If not, then by no means should you string him along simply for the convenience of having someone to kiss under the mistletoe -- that would be using him, and taking advantage of his interest in you to serve your selfish purposes...
