I don't think we've actually spoken in the 4+ years that my sister has been married to his brother. He was married and then divorced in that time frame as well, and the marriage ended pretty badly. I'm not good at dating but I'm feeling pressured here. I never really wanted to agree to the date in the first place, but my brother-in-law seemed so eager and they said that he really needed to get out more...So, how do I get through this date? I'm fairly certain that though he might be a great guy, he's not my type. I'm keeping an open mind, but still... Help?

It was actually kind of nice, though I don't think I'll be going out with him again. I felt like I was out with a relative, rather than a potential love interest.

 Hi dear,
Just try to relax and have a good time. If it doesn't end up a relationship, it's alright! You can always be good friends right? :)
Try not to take it too seriously and enjoy yourself. And you will see what will happen, so don't worry.
Good luck!

 Blind date set up by your BIL. Eh, it's up to you if you actually go on this date or not. You don't have to do anything you don't want to, regardless of the amount of pressure placed on you.
If you are truly keeping an open mind, then give the guy a chance. Maybe a nice date with light hearted friendly chat will perk this guy up. Perhaps, you won't think he's that bad. You two could part as friends.
Or if you're already psyching yourself up for this to be disastrous (judging from your post), then call it off. Fake a sickness, migraine, over time at work, emergency, etc.
