I will tell you something, since I have a few more years of experience in this kind of thing, Relationships are a serious affair. Casual Dating isn’t, since both parties know that they don’t want anything serious. And love is something different. At a younger age it is more about having someone to talk to and go out to the movies and stuff rather than committing for a lifetime and boys at this age are not even thinking about it and it is fair given they are still in school. Make sure you cut him off till you don’t feel anything for him and then maybe try being friends, it will diminish the charm he has over you in that manner.

My sweetest, the “On and Off” relationship you mention leads us to nowhere and makes us go through a lot of mental trauma we do not deserve. I think you should tell him what you are doing that is – taking some time off everything to focus on yourself. DO NOT TALK to him during this time and let things cool off…. the first love and first infatuation are very similar. I am sure you will get better, If not I am right here to hear you vent! 🙂
