If I wasn't interested in him in 'that way' I would make it known. If he asks to meet a second time... I would let him know that it would have to be under the conditions of developing a 'friendship'... and then I would give him an opportunity to back out gracefully while still saving face.

If I wanted to meet him later that night instead of the day... then I would be contradicting myself. It's unlikely I would do this. However, if I did, then it would because I felt that something more than friendship might be possible. So if I did do this, then there would be a meaning behind it - exploring more into the potential of the situation.
"The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop, and will at last grow divinely strong."
