April,
The lessor of the two evils:
1) Say yes, and then go back on one's word once realizing the thing should not be done?

The important thing is to follow your heart, and not your first instinct.
Otherwise you would help to lead someone down a path you may not otherwise choose to follow.

Good luck, in reading your posts I know you'll make the right decsion.
