advice
my friend Natalia said you were awesome at this advice thing, so i figured id come talk to ou about this problem i have.
ok, i like this guy, but none of my friends understand. theyre always sayin "so,shannon, who do you like?" and when i tell them, they always say "ew..he's so ugly though!!" now personally, i dont think its all about the looks. this guy is super sweet to me, one of the last gentlemen left on the planet(he opens doors for me all the time!!) but part of me cant help but listen to my friends. does this make me a bad person? i mean, i like him, but then i dont want to be with him bc of what my friends think. its like im worried about the rep, ya know? am i wrong to ignore my feelings for him bc of my friends, or should i ditch the friends for the guy?? please help, im soo confused. thanks hunni!! youre a lifesaver.

`*-I respect the fact that you understand it's not all about the looks:]
I know EXACTLY what you're going through! So I know it's really hard to not worry about what your friends think b/c well..they're your friends& they matter to you. But sometimes you're gunna have to get over that& make decisions on your own. I say go for him, and try hard not to worry about what your friends think about him or you dating him. After all, YOU'RE the one who'd be dating him, not them:]And no it does NOT make you a bad person for worrying about your reputation, almost everyone does it whether they admit to it or not. Yet, it is somewhat wrong for you to ignore your feelings for him b/c of what your friends think of him. Give him a shot, you'll thank yourself in the long run for it. Hope I helped! :] -Amber
