Unwanted attention dilema

Since i split up with my ex this guy had been texting me a lot asking me to go out with him. I either responded with a polite thanks but no thanks or just ignored his text completely, pretending id been so busy i forgot to respond.

I thought he had got the message until i received a text this evening asking me out on saturday. Ordinarily i would say 'Fosters off, you're grim' but i cant really do that for two important reasons. Firstly, he is good friends with my brother and other boss at work. Secondly he is also one of the head honchos for our biggest customer and as he frequently helps make sure they pay us large sums of money that they owe us I really dont want to pee him off in case he stops being so helpful in making sure we get paid.

I did tell my brother a while ago but he just thought it as funny and suggested i maybe go out with him but make it clear i just want to be a friend. But, i know from experience he will try it on (despite his fiance in america) and i dont want to be his friend, i dont even like the guy.

I know he can be a real sulky git, gets a strop on when he doesnt get invited to something my bro has arranged, even family things so what should i do to make him get the message without rocking the boat?

He was tachycardic and shaking violently last night, DT. The out of hours GP said it was probably just flu.

ooh's gp's are normally useless, nom. i'd say it's much more likely the op - did they not even take any notice of that last night? the gp should have referred him on to a+e as a precaution! i wish you both well x

have they prescibed something yet....I went to > 38 at night, dropped back in the early morning and then built up on Day 3 of the fever to 39 - when I took action. The AB nailed it in 12 hours - well abated it.....

Jack- you make a good point, for some odd reason some blokes seem to think they'll actually have some sort of chance a lesbian couple.
