Caffeine and Characters

Okay, so what happens when you begin to hate your lead character?

I need an answer to this question because I've begun to hate Harper, my lead girl character. I mean i made it so she wasn't perfect and I also made her a pretty, likeable and loving character. But as I continue to write the more I dislike her. Perhaps it's the fact that I'm making her into someone I want to be or it's because she's too perfect for her love intrest. Conflict between the couple would make for a better story but at the same time, it would be harder to write her saying bad things towards a guy who clearly has woman issues. So has that ever happned to anyone else? Have you ever ended up disliking a character because of what they've become?

Open to all suggestions, even if it mean i might have to change one of the character to better my "relationship" with the other. Any Advice? Similar troubles?

Caffeinated Talk:

As You must have realized I LOVE coffee. Maybe that's an understatment...lol, my father the caffeine addict that started it all is now proclaiming that coffee is a drug and I being the adalesent that I am, am forbidden to drink it. Though he doesn't know I've been drinking coffee sicne the age of twelve and haven't stopped since. He also doen't realize that they sell coffee at my school, which is pretty naive on his part, but what ever.

I enjoy cappucinos (sp), frappacinos(sp) and any other Cinos...

Coffee black, with two sugars and two creams, or esspresos straight up.....

HA! Take that dad! and the addiction goes on....

Now go forth and drink...many coffees...
