(i'm 14/F and so is the guy)
This guy i met earlier this year (he went on a school trip to Paris that i went on too) , asked me to dance at the end of the school year dance, and so we danced three times. in the days following he and i talked on the phone and my friends kept telling me that "you like him so much" and "you two are so gonna go out." well sure enough he asked me out. I wasn't sure if i really liked him... but i said yes. a couple days after he went to San Diego, and i went to summer camp so i didnt see him for about 2 weeks. the first week i talked to him on the phone, but our conversations were just so dead... and i didnt think i liked him anymore. I decieded that when we were both in town we'd see a movie or sumthing with friends and if i really didnt feel anything i would break up with him. well we are both back. and i REALLY dont like him. i dont need to hang out with him to realize that. the only thing that has kept me from breaking up with him is that i hate to hurt people's feelings. I know he still likes me, and i'm his first girlfriend and all. i know i can't pretend like this forever... but I just don't quite know what to say.. or how to minimize how much his feelings are hurt.

So if only ONE of you is willing to put foRth 100% effoRt and only ONE of you holds Romantic feelings foR the otheR, then what would be the point in the Relationship?? It would be meaningless, aggRavated and headed nowheRe. What good is that?? WheRe is the sense in that?? I'm shoRe if you put it to him in this manneR he'll be okay with it. This isn't to say it won't huRt his feelings. TRuth is.. no matteR WHAT you say he's going to be upset, so just be polite, while being honest. I'm shoRe he'll undeRstand..
Hope things woRk out!! :D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
