Okay, so this boy I mentioned last time, right. Well, I guess really he's not a boy anymore; I'm kinda getting to the age where that doesn't really apply anymore.

See, he's from hockey, back home. Until a few weeks ago I'd never really spoken to him- I thought he was a bit of a jackass, actually. Arrogant, self-obsessed, you name it.

And then he started talking to me, and, out of the blue, announced he liked me. So, I'm shocked, right.

And now, he tells me he wants to be with me, and I don't know what to do.

If he'd never said he likes me, I'd never have even thought about being with him. I've never thought 'wow, he's hot' or anything before, and to be honest even now I don't.

And getting to know him, he's still a bit of a jackass, but, he seems to care about me.

So, what to do, huh?

Because the more I think about it, the more I'm sure I don't want to be with him. But, then, I've not said no yet, and there must be some reason for that, right?

I guess it comes down to the fact, that I don't think I like him, but then, I'm here writing this- and what does that mean?

Is it just that I'm too scared to hurt his feelings by saying no? Or, is it that I'm too scared to risk my own?
