I Need Dating Advice

I need advice. A family friend has a son 2 years older than me and he asked my dad if we can go out. My dad agreed but I do not want to go but if I refuse it might make things awkward.
What do I do?

Ugg! Don't go! Your Dad shouldn't be the one deciding if you go out on dates! That's your job! No matter how obedient you are!
I would one way just say no or go and later make clear that you dont want to meet him again.

maybe better the first thing.

Don't go if you don't want to.
Your dad has to respect your decision

A date is just a date .. .. it is two individules going out to have a good time and get to know each other .. .. it is not a personal for marrage .. .. .. Unless you think it would be a tenable time you may want to consider going out for one date .. .. .. it could be fun .. .. .. and letting him know your not interested in taking your relationship further late in the date may be less awkward .. .. ..

What did you do???

Let him take you out once and then throw him into the friend zone
You should be open and honest. Let your dad know what you're feeling. That is if you think you can talk to him. Secondly, give the guy a chance. Maybe it'll end up becoming something real nice that you didn't expect.
I'm sure this is way late. But let me know how it went.
Let me be clear, no one is forcing me to do anything. He was being respectful and asked my dad if it would be ok to ask me out. There are no ramifications of saying no I just think it would make things awkward.

OHHH, sorry. He asked your Dad if it was OK to ask you out. That wasn't clear to me. I thought he asked your Dad if he could take you out and your Dad gave the OK for you.

@obedientdaughter might be a good idea to see how it is, honestly people are different romantically than they are platonically

You might wind up liking him, there's more to people than they show before they open up to someone

Look at the end of the day. Its good that this guy asked your dad's permission but if you dont want to go out with this person and it feels awkward then don't go on this date with him. The fact you feel weird should be a red light to you.

You must decide if you feelings of NOT wanting to date this boy are strong enough for you to risk a caning from dad if you refuse.

Tell him you are interested in someone else or that you aren't interested in dating anyone at all.

Do not go. You are not an object to be passed around at your famly's whim.

Maybe go on the first date and then tell them that it just didn't work

You should obey your dad

I don't know your culture so I don't know what the social ramifications would be of your refusal. I'm assuming that if you were a Westerner your father would've asked you, rather than just agreeing without your input. I'm truly sorry.
