Just faked it and got caught
Met up with a group of friends including a girl that I had suspicions liked me. In the midst of conversation it was suggested that we should go out, and foolishly instead of being honest, I did the nice guy thing and said sure, why not.
Unfortunately, in saying yes, I seemed to confirm the girl's hopes and she became very touchy/feely, and my ability to sidestep the advance's began to wain. She noticed this, beckoned me to a quieter place to talk, and asked what was going on. I foolishly, told her that I'd asked her out because it seemed the right thing to do, and that despite her being awesome (100% truth), I was still hung up on other girls.

Result: Scratch one friend, scratch one potential relationship, scratch upcoming comfortable social meetings.
