chicky poo,

As a male I don't really think it is possible to be just be friends type attitude will work at your age (I am assuming your somewhere around undergraduate college age).

Either make the clean break and snuff out his chances. Or just date him casually and see if the relationship really has a chance.

The "friend" status is really ambiguous and will lead to either of the above two situation in a less constructive manner anyhow.

a "when harry met sally question" question:

I recently met a guy who I like as a friend very much, but not interested in romantically. He was really interested in me romantically so I couldn't be friends with him, since he kept trying to be luvvy-duvvy. (not creepy gropy/pawing, but really hand holding, and too starry eyed).

Is it ever possible to be friends with someone when you are in this situation?

How do you get past that?

I don't think I would ever be attracted to this guy, but he is a very sweet, intelligent, and interesting person.

for a first date, it's good not to over-emphasize your attraction to the other person. No bigger turn off than a gushy guy, when you don't really know each other yet. Sick isn't it? We all want people to like us, but when they do, we want to run screaming from the room...

my idea of a perfect date:

a guy who is on time, gentleman -opens car door, extra points for pulling out chair at restaurant and letting you order first, great conversation and willingness to try something new, showing genuine interest and a hug or kiss on cheek to end the night and calls you the next day. is that too much to ask for?

who cares if he makes a premature sexual advance it'd be worse if he turned up looking like he just finished cleaning his basement

coffee/dinner and conversation is the best first date. That way you have a chance to get to know the guy and decide whether or not you want to spend more time with him. And guys, please always pay for the first date, even if the girl asked you out. It's worth the cost, assuming that the reason you went on that first date is because you thought the girl was worth it or had potential.
