Dating someone because you feel compelled to do it

Why would you feel that you'd ask ?
Because this guy is literally perfect. Imagine all the qualities a perfect respectable man should have. Well that's him.
The whole class is supporting it. My friends are supporting it. Heck, even the teachers.
He's cute, funny, nice...and you know everything.
He says he's in love with me. I give him a whole list on what's wrong with me, from crippling depression, to commitment issues, passing by social anxiety. Buuuuut he doesn't care. He says he accepts anything.
I appreciate him really. I like him.

But...I've never been in a relationship. I don't like it. I'd feel highly uncomfortable in one. And I don't want him.
But I don't want to be the one rejecting the nice guy.
So I guess I will just say yes, and say where it will lead me.
Not a big deal.
Who knows

This is entirely your decision to make but my gut is screaming NO NO NO NO NO. I did this once. It was absolutely horrible. He was such a 'nice guy' but I eventually discovered that he was actually using that to manipulate and guilt trip me. I learned that if someone really is a 'nice guy' he will have enough respect for you to NOT plead and wrangle his way into a relationship; he will be big enough to step back, however much it hurts him, because the last thing he would want to do is hurt you.
