I know in the real world, this doesn't really matter, but as a high school junior who's romantically interested in a freshman, I really need help. I met him in marching band, and instantly, we clicked. He's everything that I've ever looked for in a guy, right down to the band geekiness. Unfortunatly, I'm more of a traditional person, so when he reciprocated my feelings for him, I was torn between accepting and rejecting. Not only that, but I am of a high leadership position in the band, so I know that rumors will fly, perhaps even getting in the way of his wishes to become drum major. He's still waiting for my answer. You seem to give really good advice, so I'm hoping to hear from you soon!

(:
