John Mayer Knows He's 'A Bit Of Douche,' He's Only Pretending To Be 'Boyfriend Material'

Katy Perry and John Mayer’s protracted f**kship started to get serious around the time Mayer learned that sad face emoji in an otherwise blank email were a totally acceptable way to dump your overly-attached girlfriend. Then they were suddenly on a break. But Perry apparently begged for his return, she even shared photos of them together so people knew they were an item again. All while friends ran to the tabloids to say, ‘Yeah, they’re basically friends-with-benefits except no one told her that.’ And now the same friends are telling RadarOnline this is some kind of master plan by Mayer to stay in Perry’s panties for as long as possible while playing undersexed ‘boyfriend material’ because that’s a thing when you’re not 12-years-old. The source explains: ‘Katy’s friends and family haven’t taken to John at all. In fact, they are worried that she is headed for heartbreak… At first, she was quite careful with John and said she wasn’t ready for a relationship and [she] just wanted to have fun. But now, she appears to have fallen dangerously in love with him and her friends are concerned… John has had his eye on Katy for a while and he had to try and convince her that he was right for her. The best way he thought he could do that was by dispelling his past reputation as a Lothario. He’s never been short of female attention in the past and has always been quick to milk that at every given opportunity. But John realizes now that it made him appear a bit of a douche bag and an unattractive catch. He knew he had to change his ways if he ever wanted to get serious with somebody and he had a heart-to-heart with Katy, telling her he was desperate to change his ways. Katy believed him and now their relationship is moving on. She… has slowly warmed to the idea that he’s boyfriend material.’ Photos below.
