Is it normal to like someone, but have no desire to date them whatsoever?

I was arguing about this with a friend of mine the other day and wanted to get some other opinions into the mix. I have an acquaintance (I would never consider him a friend, ha ha) that I like, but I don't want to date him because I hate all of his friends and he's going off to college next year. My friend says that liking someone but not wanting to date them is ridiculous; it's either both or nothing. Which one of us is correct?
