There's this guy I know through my friend. He's in his late 20s, graduated from university, and an accountant. I used to have a thing for older guys but now I have changed. We've spoken on msn for a couple of months now (not everyday). He seems nice but I'm not extremely attracted to him because I haven't found anything interesting about him. He wants to meet me for a date. I turned him down because I thought he was too old for me. But he's being really persistant now. I don't know if I should just met him once or avoid him. Should I go out with someone who I am not extremely keen on or should I always only go out with people who I already like? Going to meet him just once is not a big deal or anything but I can just imagine how bored I will be to meet someone who I don't find interesting.

If you already notice dealbreakers, don't waste your time. However, there is nothing wrong with being optimistic and dating a guy you are not 100% sure of pursuing a relationship.

If you're not interested, you're not interested.
You've said no, and he's still being persistent.
There's a good chance if you do go out with this guy, he'll pressure you into more dates.
If you don't want to date him-- don't.
Like the above said though, there's nothing wrong with dating a guy you're not 100% sure about-- but if you think it's a situation you're uncomfortable with or you feel you'd be leading him on, it's better not to.

A guy that won't take no for an answer is a pain in the ass. Don't open the door for further annoyance. Don't date him.

You sound curious to me. I'd go for coffee and if its not happening then you can tell him so.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

It took me years to discover that this is single handedly the most important aspect of any type of relationship.

If you don't like him and there is no chemistry then just tell him no. If you're not honest with him he is going to keep trying to push you into a date and that's something you don't want. Do what's best for YOU! Not anyone else.
