Going against my own words

I have always believed that one should never 'create' a bf to deter attention. If you are not interested in a guy, your 'no' should be enough. You don't need a fictitious boyfriend (or girlfriend) for your disinterest to be taken seriously. Just because one doesnt have a boyfriend does not mean that one really want/need(take your pick of the words) one.

Today, I wrongfully went against this firm believe.

The Nepalese handyman cum cleaner cum gardener (aka multipurpose man) asked me out for dinner. While he is really good looking (he looks like a mexican soap opera star - muscles, hair, white teeth),he's not really my type. I don't understand half the things that he says.

He's just so nice and I really didn't want to give any false hopes (if any!)
And so I very pathetically mumbled 'I'm going out with my boyfriend this saturday'.

I am so ashamed of myself.
