          You don't have to push



          The wording on Repelling Blast is (emphasis mine):




          When you hit a creature with eldritch blast, you can push
          the creature up to 10 feet away from you in a straight line.



          --- Player's Handbook, p. 111




          The can here functions as an optional, meaning you are free not to do it. If that word had been omitted you would have no choice, but it's there so you do.
