Hi,

Just wondering if someone could try and explain something to me that I've been thinking about.

I was talking with a couple of friends the other night and one of them was talking about a guy she kind of likes. She said something about him being single but then said "もったいない" about the situation.

Now, I know the normal meaning about waste and that kind of thing. But it doesn't seem to fit here at all. So I just wanted to ask if there is a different meaning when talking about a guy/girl or if there is a sort of slang meaning.

Thanks a lot for any help.
