Dear Mary Jane

A few weeks ago I met this boy and he was interested in me and I was interested in him too.He’s friends with a few of my friends, so we were all hanging out a lot. I was stoked because I was told he wanted to ask me out, I’m 17 and I’ve never been in a relationship- so I thought everything was going to be great. Well we started hanging out alone and I realized I really didn’t like him like I thought I did. I have more fun when its him and a few other people. When its just him and I, it’s kind of boring and we run out of things to talk about. Since I’ve been around him more he’s not really the person I thought he was. I don’t see him as boyfriend material because of the way he acts. The thing is, I think he might ask me out soon. I really like him as a friend, but I can’t see him as anything else. What should I do about it?

If you’re not attracted to him then cut it off now. Don’t lead him on because it’s just going to create more drama for you. There are sooo many boys out there for you, you don’t have to settle for the first one who likes you. If you get into the habit of being with boys you only sometimes like, you’ll end up a desperate housewife. When he asks you out say you really like him as a friend, but just never felt that spark. You’ll hurt his feelings but he’ll be fine!
