When is coffee just coffee?

So I have a situation.

Today a class friend suggested we go out for coffee sometime. I was getting kinda a weird vibe from him today; he sat closer than usual (we usually have an empty seat between us) and he poked my shoulder once or twice (we don’t touch). So now I’m wondering if he means it in a more than friends way. Maybe I’m reading too much into it? But I got a really weird feeling about it like I said and I try to go with my gut because it tends to be right.

Next problem, I don’t like him that way. At all. I respect him and enjoy talking to him but I honestly can’t picture myself with him you know? I don’t want to lead him on if he is hoping for more. I don’t want to just out and out say that though because what if my gut feeling is wrong?

Please help. I need advice.

Sounds like there is a bit of interest in more than friendship there....if you aren't interest though, you kinda have to back off a bit...make some space...then when he questions that (if)...you can say that you you are not in the right "place" now for a closer friendship... usually your gut feelings are correct on this sortof stuff...(speaking from YEARS of experience...)

Even if there is no love, there might be passion, there's nothing wrong about having some adventures from time to time, it makes you feel alive

Well give him a chance, go for a drink, go to a movie - whatever friends would do - if he really does like you, I'm sure you'll be able to spot the signals.

There's no harm going out with him, maybe just try and be friends. If he seems like he wants more, just be up front with him. Just tell him your not interested, or are just not looking for a relationship right now. :)
