One friend really wants to set me up with a nice, good-looking man she knows. While I would like to entertain that idea, I'm not ready, and I don't want to be a user.
I encourage you to reconsider. Going on a date is not a promise nor a commitment. The man won't feel used because you had dinner with him without any intention of sleeping with him or developing a long term relationship. In fact, most dates lead nowhere. The date is just like any other night out for you. It sounds like something new for you, something that would help you gain a new perspective in your sitch. I'm sure you'd get great material from it.
