Hey. Okay so I have this really great friend and i like him. He likes me too. The problem is he's a grade younger than me ( i'm going into 8th .. he's going into 7th ) and he asked me out and i said maybe. My friends tell me to say no because everyones gonna make fun of us .. especially me. But im afraid if i say no because im afraid he'll get mad at me and we wont be friends anymore. So i made a list of things i can do.
1. Say yes .. but not tell anyone
2. Say yes and ignore everyone ( this might be a hard one .. )
3. Say no and explain to him that we should just be friends & nothing more.
Im having a hard time choosing one of these .. Help please! i rate high!
thanks in advance

Before you make a decision - figure out what you REALLY want. If you really like him - regardless of others opinions then don't let them dictate your happiness. If you say yes you cannot keep it a secret because that is just plain mean - like saying that you like him, but not enough to admit it to anyone but him. Just think - he may be the next Michael Jordan or Donald Trump and if you let your friends dictate how you feel - you could miss out on something that really makes your heart sing.
Go for what you know and forget what they say. If you are strong and sure, they will follow suit. Just because they are not sure enough of themselves to do something like that doesn't mean you have to be that way!!! [ Rebecca's advice column | Ask Rebecca A Question ]

If they make fun of you for having a boyfriend, that's lame. If they make fun of you because you have a boyfriend younger than you, whats the big deal, i mean one year isn't that much. If you two really like eachother tell him yes, and tell everyone yeah we are going out, we like eachother and just we ignore them. To me they're prolly jealous...well i hope you make the right choice!! [ ohgoofiime's advice column | Ask ohgoofiime A Question ]
