Do I go or not?

Arranged to meet up with old friend in London this weekend. Going to a show then stay in hotel (twin beds). Bit of history he was once married to a friend of mine, he always made me laugh and is a lovely man.
Since agreeing to go he is messaging telling me I am his unrequited love, how romantic it will be this weekend etc. I am now having second thoughts about going. I was looking forward to seeing him and having a much needed laugh but it has all turned a little unpleasant.
I have been clear that although single I have no interest in him romantically but am I being unfair arranging to meet him?
I am not sure what i am scared of exactly, I am sure I would be safe but a fun couple of days with a friend has turned into something else entirely.
Am I over thinking this or am I being a bitch to him knowing how I feel?

No way I'd share a hotel room with anyone saying that sort of thing to me if I wasn't interested in them that way.

Well, being blunt, I imagine you're worried he might try to have sex with you and have piss poor boundaries.

Beautifully put LineRunner exactly what I am scared of, I am sure it would not be the case and he would be a gentleman but...

I don't think you are sure, though.

Cupoteap · 01/01/2015 18:44

You need to trust your instinct

LineRunner · 01/01/2015 19:06

Read your OP again. You say you are 'sure' but you do also use the words 'romantic' and 'scared'. So you are fearful of the unwelcome lunge I reckon, whether it be 'just' a hug, kiss, or more.

Is this because it would be embarrassing? Or do you have further worries? I think you need to articulate these, tbh.

To be totally honest I'd be terrified he'd spike my drink or something, no way would I share a hotel room with him.

I have cancelled and I feel much better, I was ok with the arrangement as we are good friends but the messages have made me feel uncomfortable.
Thank you all for your replies :)
