i broke up with my boyfriend of a couple months because i couldn't feel that "spark" that i had with my ex. he's soo hot and fun to hang out with and good at hooking up haha but i just can't see myself in a relationship with him. like some things he does just aren't ok with me and i don't want to fight about things i want to enjoy summer and not have to worry. we still hook up so i guess were more of the friends with benefits deal. he really wants to get back together. he is a good kid but we fight alot and he smokes alot, doesn't have a car (so i have to do all the driving), and he's the "bros before hoes" deal. i don't want him blowing off his friends to see me but its the complete opposite, like he would blow me off to hang out with his friends.
do you think i'm doing the right thing or just leading him on?

A spark is important, but it's not everything. Sometimes the 'spark' is only in the beginning of a relationship, and sometimes that spark just pops up out of nowhere while you're already in one.
The question about leading him on, is simple. Are you confused about what you want from him? If yes, then that's leading him on. If you are sure you just want to have fun/hookup and be more of the friends w/ benefits, then you have to let him know that's all you want and that's all he's going to receive from you. If he knows that and accepts that, then it's not leading him on because he knows what he's getting himself into. Remember, both parties have to be on the same page! Honesty is key.
