<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

My past few relationships crashed and burned rather terribly, and I've been seeing a new guy for about a month and don't really feel like we're connecting. Part of me wants to not cause drama and just wait it out, but that's what's been the problem in my past relationships - I'm not half as into them as they are into me. I have trouble connecting with people on that level and generally just force it, which sucks for both of us in the end.

So, I want to let this guy go easily. He's a good friend and I like hanging out with him, but unless something fantastic happens in the next week (he is taking me to a university formal - spent $70 on my ticket!  BLAH!) he seems to want to be more serious than I really want. The only problem is I feel guilty for him spending money on me (I know, typical reaction, bad reaction). Is there any way to mitigate bad responses?  If he wants to hook up I'm fine with that, but he's been getting close to the girlfriend/boyfriend territory recently and I'm not feeling it.
<bot>: after a few bad breakups I doubt my ability to do it properly.  How do I let someone know I'm not serious about them?
