I have a boyfriend(sorta). He's a great guy, and my best friend used to like him(I think she still does), but she doesn't mind that I'm with him. I think about him a lot, and I like to be with him, but the problem is, not in public. He's not "cute" I guess. People say he's decent looking, but not really to me. I am afraid of what people will think because of my better reputation. I guess I'm shallow, but I want to keep my reputation(which keeps getting better), and I don't want a guy to ruin it. He is super sweet, and I know he cares about me(my friends can see it too), but he is kinda weird, and not cute. Help me out please.

Is he not cute in the his face needs total re-arranging, or the not cute as in hes got major acne and bad clothes? because if its the second one, you might suggest to him taking him shopping and getting him some new, better looking clothes? that is if you really like him and you can see you two going somewhere, if he wasnt so weird and not cute lol. if you really cant see you two being together for a while, then theres no sence in going out with him if you dont even want to be seen in public with him. but if you really like him, then try suggesting that to him and getting him into different things so hes less.. weird lol.

sweetie, i totally understand. it's like you're almost embarassed of him, right? don't listen to anyone who says you're shallow & a bitch. cause you're not. everyone cares about what everyone else thinks about them. it's FINE.
so, if you guys are officiailly dating, i'd dump him. just cause you don't actually like him! and it'd be impossible to explain to him that you don't want to tell anyone you're going out. he might take it the wrong way.
so, tell your friend that he's all hers! seriously. cause if you don't like him, then don't say he's yours. hotter guys will come along, really.
i can be shallow too, so i completely understand where you are coming from. if he likes you then don't be mean to him. keep your space with him. if he says hey, say hey back.
all in all, don't TELL him that you don't want to be friends anymore or anything cause he'll be really hurt cause he may think you're super gorgeous.
just keep it low-key but steady. he'll back off your case eventually. don't tell ANYONE exactly what you posted on this site.. things will end up messy. keep to yourself & don't tell your best friend anything. create space between you and the guy while still being friends to experience the swet, caring part of him.
