Asshole or not?
Last night, my middle school had a dance. I finally got the courage to ask (let's call him "Will") Will, this guy I've really liked since April of last semester, to slow-dance. I told him on AIM two months ago. He doesn't like me back in that way. That's fine. Well, the song was really short, and we're fairly good friends (we usually talk most of the time on AIM) so he said to me "Hey, Penelope, can I tell you a secret? I really like Catherine. Do you think I should ask her to slow dance?" Of course, I didn't want to show I was pissed so I said "Sure! Go for it." But now I'm trying to decide whether he's an asshole, because if he remembered/knew that I still like him, and said that he likes someone else anyway, that's really really rude. I'm thinking maybe he thinks I don't like him anymore or he forgot, considering the fact that I told him online, at the beginning of the school year, and that I never show it (I'm never comfortable showing affection. It makes me feel like a sap.). Is this realistic? Because aside from that, he seems to be a good person. And when I say "good person" I mean genuinely nice, not like player. He respects everyone, is really sweet, friendly and funny. But what he said wasn't very nice. What do you think?

I don't think he necessarily forgot you care for him. More likely he just assumes you have moved on since he told you he didn't feel the same.
I think he must consider you a good friend. Enough of a friend that he can talk to you about who he likes, and get your opinion.
So, I really don't think he was being an asshole (not on purpose anyway).
I think if you are uncomfortable hearing who he likes and all that, you let him know why. Tell him you will help him with anything except his love life.
Or, you could help him out until he realizes that he already has a girl he is comfortable talking to. :)
