I rejected my homecoming date?

Question

Just a few days ago this guy added me on Facebook. I recognized him because I've seen him around the school but I didn't know anything about him. My sister later told me that he's a junior and that they used to be friends but my sister graduated last year so they are not anymore. We began messaging each other but in the hallways we never said hi to each other or anything. Then he asked me to homecoming over Facebook and I didn't know what to say at the time so I said sure! I told my friends about him and they were saying homecoming is going to be really awkward for you too and what if he rapes you and stuff like that. I ignored them but then I began realizing those stuff and I felt like I would need to get to know him better because I can't get to know him in just a week. So l sent him this text this morning "   Hey I really don't want you to take this the wrong way, but I don't think we should go to homecoming together. I mean we have never really talked or hung out and I just feel uncomfortable going with you like this. You're really sweet, but I don't feel like I know you well enough! Maybe next time if we get to know each other better :). Sorry. I hope you're not mad at me." And he was sad for a bit but I tried cheering him up. The other day in health we watched a video on a boy committing suicide because a girl rejected him! I'm really worried about him! What should I say to him?

I think your first mistake was accepting him when you've never met him. Why do you feel the need to do that?

But anyway it's probably the right choice. I seriously doubt you would get raped at a homecoming dance. I also seriously doubt he'll kill himself over you denying him, that video you watched was obviously about a boy with other problems. Don't worry about it, I think you made the right choice for now.

I think you're fine. It's not like he's in love with you (he can't be, he's only talked to you over facebook once or twice), he just thinks you're attractive and nice. If he ends up committing suicide, it was bound to happen anyway, you did not put enough time or effort into that relationship for it to be life changing when it "ended." 

I think you did a great job in saying no, you made your point clear without being mean. The same thing just happened to me today, this guy I don't really know sent me a text asking me to homecoming and I haven't replied back yet.... I might just copy what you said haha, so thanks for that! Hope I helped!

Well that all depends on hotness:
if you're in the 0 - 3 range he'll be just fine, in fact relieved;
if you're in the 4 - 7 range he certainly won't kill himself but might be a bit sad;
if you're in the 8 - 10 range.... that boy's dead.

what a love story lol but let see,if your that worried you should keep tabs on him so he won't do anything stupid which i highly doubt unless he has some issues. he most likely asked you to go to prom because he must not talk to alot of girls at school and it came easier to ask you over facebook than in person.

If he's stupid enough to kill himself over being rejected by one homecoming date. Then, then...
