    Okay so I've seen this girl a few times...and its going well enough...she cute we have a nice time when we go out. But it seems like somethings missing...I don't look forward to seeing her anymore than my friends and i get bored often when we're together. One of my freinds told me just to give it time and see where things go but it seems to me that if there is no excitement at the begining then it will probably never be there. I can't say I've ever really dated before...boys or girls...so I have no clue. Any advice?

    You're probably right about there being little chance for excitement later on if there's never any to begin with. If you really don't feel any significant attraction to her, then perhaps you'd be better off looking for someone new. You deserve to be able to date someone you actually feel attracted to and enjoy being around.

    I think you're right - that spark is often strongest early on, and if it's not really there now, it's probably not going to develop. It seems like you just feel for her as a friend, so maybe that's where the relationship should stay. Do you think you can talk to her about it?

    i agree with the posters above, but also a word of advice: don't try to make yourself like her, don't fall in love with love, if you know what i mean. it's better to wait for someone you really like than convince yourself you like someone you really don't.

    If you are attracted to someone, that's apparent from the onset, IME. The spark is what it's all about, and in life... if you don't feel that spark, that person is not worth being with you. Nothing personal about them, but you know who you like and if you don't feel... insanely attracted to her... then find someone you are insanely attracted. Life's too short, take it from me.
