Question Posted Saturday November 27 2004, 11:03 pm
Hey. Alright, this guy really likes me and no one has ever liked me like that before..people keep telling me to go out with him because he likes me and even if i dont like him, i should just "settle." Well, yea, um, i don't think thats right and im curious what your opinions are on that. Plus i really like this other guy but it would never work out for different reasons, and the guy thats likes me is sort of experienced and im..not..i want to save all my firsts for someone i really like. Should i just settle for the guy who likes me? Is it stupid to wait for someone i really like?

You'll end up feeling obligated and it will just ruin relationships for you. You deserve more then jhust what you can get. You probably feel excited that someone likes you, but trust me it will not be the last time. I also agree with you saving your firsts for someone you like. It is a special thing and it deserves a special person. If you will feel uncomfortable with the guy that likes you then there is no point in going out with him. Maybe the guy you like won't like you back, but you'll move on to someone you like and who likes you back and then you'll know it's the right time to have a boyfriend. Don't wait for the guy to like you back because that might not happen, but don't settle just to have a boyfriend. [ dancinqueen08's advice column | Ask dancinqueen08 A Question ]

wait for someone who feels for you what you feel for them..just give it time, you'll find someone to share your *firsts* with..
CAcheerbabe08 answered Sunday November 28 2004, 7:52 pm: no it is not stupid to wait for someone that you really like. i would wait for someone that i really liked. if you go with someone that you dont really care for than you wont have any fun. it might seem hard when everyone is telling you what to do but just do what your heart tells you to do [ CAcheerbabe08's advice column | Ask CAcheerbabe08 A Question ]
stephy159 answered Sunday November 28 2004, 7:42 pm: Don't go for a guy that you don't like. That's just not right. Wait until the perfect guy comes along and then go out with him. But if you spend more time with the guy who likes you then maybe you might end up liking him back. Just start out being friends and take it from there. I hope I helped =] [ stephy159's advice column | Ask stephy159 A Question ]
Farren answered Sunday November 28 2004, 4:34 pm: No, no, not stupid at all. I gave away my first kiss in a stupid spin the bottle game with my friends, and I regret it so.
Besides, it's just a waste of time if you don't like the guy, and we all have people we like who don't like us back, he'll get over it eventually.
Wait for someone you at least like, that way it will be special!

Talk2Me answered Sunday November 28 2004, 4:03 pm: You should just follow your heart! If that boy likes you, it's O.K., just be nice to him, he might be weird but he heas feelings too! If he asks you out refuse kindle, every one can get a scar, but only certain people can make them! If you like that guy, go after him! I don't know the entire backround or meaning of "it just won't work out" but I know that there has to be some way to get you with the guy of your dreams!
Good Luck!
XOXO

Striker6909 answered Sunday November 28 2004, 12:22 pm: No, you should talk to him and try to make him understand that you don't like him the same way but that you want to be friends... after that he might be a little distant but he'll get over it [ Striker6909's advice column | Ask Striker6909 A Question ]
miss xO advice answered Sunday November 28 2004, 1:15 am: ok..see if you don't like someone you would want to hurt them by just going out with them cuz everyone is pressuring you to go out with him..and in plus you cant go out with someone that you wouldnt feel comfortable with..but see if you were to start liking that guy that likes you a whole bunches if he really likes you he would respect your wishes and wait untill you are ready.it is not stupid to wait for the right person because that shows that you want a relationship and you want it to last for a longer time then just 3 weeks..so go out with the guy that you really like and dont go out with somebody because or peer presure.xoxo jessie [ miss xO advice's advice column | Ask miss xO advice A Question ]
xokaylanicoleox answered Sunday November 28 2004, 12:45 am: I think that you shouldn't go for a guy just because he likes you. If you don't like him like that then it isn't fair for you to do that to him. That happened to me last year and I was friends with this one guy and all these people were telling me to date him because they thought he was hot, but I only thought of him as a friend, then I got to thinking about it and realized it was totally wrong to do that to him, because it would hurt his feelings and I'd rather tell him no thanks then lead him on and make him like me more so in the end he gets hurt more. My advice, don't go out with the guy just because he likes you. -Kayla [ xokaylanicoleox's advice column | Ask xokaylanicoleox A Question ]
zapreth answered Sunday November 28 2004, 12:45 am: Don't settle. If you do you won't be free for the right person. You'll end up hating yourself and the person you settled for. Bitterness builds up fast in a "settle" relationship. It can really twist your soul in knots. However, this does not mean you can't go out with someone just to have fun and hang out. Could be it is the right one and you just didn't notice it. Love at first sight isn't the only way to find true happiness. Live your life, have fun, but don't settle! Luck and Love!

SmoothiesFknRock answered Sunday November 28 2004, 12:36 am: Don't go out with someone who you aren't interested in. Definately wait for someone you like and feel comfortable with, because when you look back on it when you're older- you'll be thankful you waited. Don't let your friends talk you into something you don't want to do! Stand up for yourself and follow your heart babe! Good luck!

AsKmE135 answered Sunday November 28 2004, 12:36 am: No u shouldn't just settle for someone you dont like!! I was in the same situation a few weeks ago. I was kind of going out with this guy that I didn't really like but he liked me and everyone was telling me to go out with him even though he was older and more experienced. And then I decided that I didnt want to waste my time with someone i didnt truly like so I broke up with him.. and I am SO glad i did!!! I feel SO much better now!! So anyway the point is DONT SETTLE for anyone your not happy with!! Go with your instincts..do whatever makes you happy! [ AsKmE135's advice column | Ask AsKmE135 A Question ]
