DEAR ABBY: I'm a college student who has never had a boyfriend. I have been on a few dates with a guy I'll call "Richard," and while he's nice, I don't see this going anywhere.
On the other hand, I don't want to break it off just yet because it's nice having that kind of attention for once. But is it leading him on?
He likes me a lot more than I like him, but he knows I'm going to transfer next semester. What should I do? -- CONFUSED DATER IN DES MOINES
DEAR CONFUSED DATER: You should be honest with Richard. Tell him you like him as a friend and remind him that your plan is to transfer next semester. That way, if he wants to continue seeing you, he'll know the score and you won't have led him on.
