I'm 14/f. Yesterday I found out that one of my closest guy friends likes me in a romantic sense. Let's call him "Jordan." He has liked me for possibly a year. We have been friends since we were 2 years old. I have just recently, a month ago, started liking him in a romantic sense. My problem is that I did like another guy let's call him "Dave" for a year and a half. I fell hard for him. I only saw him once over the summer. I have since stopped liking Dave as much as I used to. Possibly because I haven't seen him, and possibly because I have just gotten over him. I don't like Jordan as much as I used to like Dave. Jordan asked me out and I am afraid to say yes in the event that I see Dave and fall head over heels for him again. I like the friendship that me and Jordan share. I don't want any awkwardness between us. I get EXTREMELY nervous around guys that like me. What should I do? Should I go out with Jordan and hope for the best? Or should I say I want to stay friends? I feel that knowing that we like each other is enough and that it also leaves the possibility open to dating and a relationship. I should also mention that I have never had a real boyfriend before. Sorry this is so long, but I could really use some good advice.

xfallingfor3verx answered Saturday August 28 2004, 10:35 pm: ok well I've been in this situation before..and what I did was wait for "Dave" but then I realized that I would never get a chance with "Dave" so I was hurt because by the time I realized "Dave" wasn't interested "Jordan" was already with someone else...so take a chance with "Jordan" no matter what your friendship will always be close! but if you find out that "Dave" is interested take a chance with "Dave" I hope this works..
