Rodger:
I am a lawyer who works in a prestigious firm. Last week I agreed to go on a date with a guy who is the son of a friend of my aunt’s. It wasn’t until yesterday, after my aunt’s friend told the guy that I had agreed to go on the date, that I learned that this guy never finished college and works in construction.
I do not see the point of wasting my time when I know very well that I could never take him to any of the functions (dinners and cocktails parties) that all of us in the firm are expected to bring our spouses to, so there is no way this could ever go anywhere. Am I right to cancel before leading him on?

It’s unbelievably prejudiced of you to assume that, just because you’re a lawyer, this construction worker will be embarrassed to accompany you to events & mingle with all your low-life lawyer buddies, even though they’re pretty much the dregs of society.
OK, now that I have that out of my system, here’s some actual advice.
You have no idea what this guy is like. Just because he doesn’t have a college diploma certainly doesn’t mean he’s stupid, if that’s what you’re concerned about. And besides that, if you have hardcore parameters as to who you’ll go on a single date with, you should have told that to your aunt before you ever agreed to go out with the guy.
Go on the date & find out who the guy is.
