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?

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
