Question Posted Tuesday March 8 2005, 9:26 pm

ok I finally met this kid who ive been talking to on the internet.. and im so confused with the way I feel about him. Its like I couldnt decide whether I liked him or not. Im basically preppy girl, and hes a punk rock (dude) kind of guy. Hes so different than the guys I hang around, and I cant decide if its good or bad. I know him and my guy friends wouldnt get along, and I dont know what to do or how to feel. I'm so confused. Any help?.. I rate :-)

You have to decide whether your attraction to him is stronger than your desire to stay in your comfort zone. Something new to the mix is always interesting, and if you do decide to date, there's no rule that says your friends automatically have to become his friends. As long as he's good to you and isn't a negative influence on you, then there doesn't have to be a problem.

If your friends really don't like him for any other reason than the fact that he's a punk rocker, then you need to talk to your friends. Remind them that if they really cared, they would keep an open mind about the guy and not judge a book by it's cover.

Cheers!

Dont worry about what your friends will think, it doesnt matter if they accept him. If you like the way he is and you think there might be something there between you and him go for it. Dont let your differences seperate you.

I think you might like him, but you don't want to start anything since you don't know whether your friends would agree with his style. My Advice: Never have online relationships, you can never tell what a person is doing on the other side. He could be lying about being punk rock for all you know. Besta Luck

Dear,
I do not want this to sound like a cliché but I think if you really liked him you would know it. I think you already know the answer but you wish you did not. What I mean is if you like him you are probably afraid that that would upset your other friends and if you do not you are probably looking for an excuse and trying to convince yourself that this is right (I am not saying it is not).
First you have to ask yourself if you really liked him before you met him. Then if the answer is yes think if you are confused because of prejudices. Sometimes people who dress like him are not always wild and crazy and are nice people. So if you liked him before and you do not totally dislike the way he looks I think you should give him a chance. Your friends should respect your choice even if they do not particularly like him. You could go on chatting online until you know him better and feel more comfortable with him.
However if you did not really like him when you were talking online and you just like to think you did because there was no one else or you can not see yourself going out with him at all it is best if you go on as just fiends.
One more thing, I do not want to sound judgmental but usually it is not a very good idea to meet people online, sometimes it could be quiet dangerous or as in your case it could create confusion.
I hope this helps!

you liked him on the internet didn't you? Don't let his looks scare you off.I would personally be cautious of anyone I met online but meet him in public places for awhile and introduce him to friends.If all goes well, then judge him by his actions and not what he looks like or what others think of him.Good luck!

you are atracted to this guy because he is so different to what you are used to, and that excites you, however, do you know anything about him? do you know his faviorate food, colour or anything like that. with the internet, you must be careful as you build a person up in your head and more often then not that perception is let down. also, if you know your guy friends wont like him then does that not tell you something?

Ignore the fact that he doesn't fit into your "usual-crowd" genre. If you really like him, it will be easier to know if you look past things like that. Also, if you do end up realizing that you really like him, it won't matter that he isn't like you. If your guy friends are having the same problem, not getting along with this guy because he isn't their style, try to talk to them about the good qualities of this guy and that they shouldn't judge him on his style.
