Long story short, my best friends friend has started talking to me, at first it was just day to day friendly chat but now he's starting to flirt and wants to take me out for valentines day. I dont want a boyfriend yet, but i dont know if he's just flirting or actually wants to date me and i dont know how/want to ask him. Also, he's been out with my best friend, which makes it a little bit awkward for me. Any help on what you think i should do?

I think the easy way out is to just say really cutting things about dating. "Oh, thank goodness you are such a cool guy and understand where I am, which is NOT dating anybody."
"I'm so glad I don't have to worry about chatting with you because you won't get some silly notion in your head that I would be wanting to date you or anyone else."
Alternatively, you could just say, "Steven, just to be clear about something, as you've been out with my best friend, I have to stick to the girl code and not date you, even though you are adorable. I'll try not to be too sad if you try not to be too flirty. It makes me uncomfortable worrying that it'll hurt her, so let's just stay friends, 'kthanksbye."
Good luck!

What i would do is go out with him tell him on the date you don't want a commitment and talk to your friend to make sure there isn't a problem with you going out with him. so you don't loose a friendship. And see what he wants with you. Then make your decision to see him again based on how you clicked or how it went and what he said.. Hope this helps.
