Having a bit of a boy situation!?

Something that can help decide is to go out in a group. You him your friends his friends and usually when you're around people you will either still find him as a friend, because friends are already around you. Or you'll find that you really do like him. Besides this you guys should try to talk and understand each other and understand your ways that usually helps because you might not like what he believes in or does or have done. These are just couple of ideas i would suggest.
