well so i met this guy and i just moved to a new place and im going to a new high school and everything. im gonna be a sophmore. i used to live here so i still have some friends from when i was younger. anyway my friend introduced me to this guy and a few of us went to the movies and he kissed me. now since we barely knew each other we are getting to kno each other and stuff. the problem is i dont think i actually like HIM i just like the guy attention. a few months ago my bf and i broke up and now ive moved on but now that im single i really want guy attention. the guy acts like he likes me and we do flirt but i dont think i actually like him. i really dont think i like him i think i just like the attention. he says hes been thinking about me a lot and has even brought up us dating in the future but i dont kno what to do. if he only had a casual relationship would it be ok that i dont like him a lot? cause lots of people date people casually that they arent in serious like with. but i also dont think its a good idea to date someone before i even go to the school because i dont want people already making assumptions of me. the guy seems nice and genuine but im still not sure if he is. i have a hard time trusting guys. anyway thanks for your input!! :)

I don't know anybody who does that. To me, honestly, it's stupid and pointless. Why date somebody you don't even really like? What would happen when someone that you DO like comes along? You just dump the poor guy without ever looking back? =O
Look at it this way:
Put yourself in his shoes. What is it was YOU who really really liked this guy, but he only went out with you for the attention. Then, he found a girl he really did like and he dumped you without even saying he's sorry. How terrible would you feel? It's so not worth it.
My advice:
Don't date this guy. Just tell him the truth, that you don't really find yourself liking him like you thought you would. Let him know that you would rather just stay friends with him, and that you're in a new place, so you don't want people making assumptions. Basically, tell him msot of what you told us and you'll be fine.
ccupcake07 answered Wednesday July 2 2008, 11:18 am: Well if you don't like him 100% then i wouldn't lead him on thinking you may date in the future. I would just be strictly friends. And about the guy attention, you may get a lot of that without even knowing it. Everybody wants guy attention and not everyone gets it but your time will come when it comes when your dating a guy. You'll get all the attention you want! Hope this helps! [ ccupcake07's advice column | Ask ccupcake07 A Question ]
Disconnected answered Wednesday July 2 2008, 7:50 am: Well it's not the best idea to go out with someone if you're not sure.
I did that, and it ended badly.
I suggest hang out with him, get to know him and then make your decision.
If you try to get too much guy attention, some guys will think you're a slut, and that'll be shit.
You honestly don't want all the guys you know to think that you're a slut, cause you might get attention, but they'll be hoping to get into your pants... [ Disconnected's advice column | Ask Disconnected A Question ]
InsaneChildz answered Wednesday July 2 2008, 1:00 am: Your right you just got there! get to know him better and see if you like him.
But dont go out with him if you dont truely like him. He has feelings too and if he likes you i am sure he wouldnt want to be strung along like that.
