luvin_chick<3 answered Monday March 26 2007, 4:27 pm: the advisors before me gave really good advices already. but i wanted to give you my personal point of view of this, b/c this happened to me with my first boyfriend.
it was two years ago, when we were 6th graders. he told one of my friends that he was gonna ask me out soon, and my friend told me. my friend wasn't really supposed to tell me, but atleast it made me prepare to what i was gonna say. it was my first boyfriend, after all. he asked me out friday, and by monday, everybody knew about it. everybody came up to me and asked me, "are you really going out with *****?! EWWW. why him?!" blah blah blah. honestly, at first it got to me. but then i was like, "they're criticisms doesn't make my life. i make my own decisions. good ones and bad ones. if this turns out as a bad one, atleast it was my decision and not everybody around me. they would just have to get used to seeing us together, b/c it's not gonna change anytime soon."
i'm glad i didn't listen to them. we went out for almost 6 months. not bad for a first-timer, huh? we were only 12 then, so it was pretty long for our age. and it really surprised everybody how long we went out. afterwards, we didn't talk to each other. i still have feelings for him, for he was my first boyfriend and kiss. but nowadays, we're kinda friends.
never let other people's bad voice get in the way of what you want. if you like him, say yes. it's not gonna do anything bad to you, other than teach you. if it doesn't work out, then that's it. stay friends as long as you can, cuz you'll want it.

Well the decision is really up to you, but here are a few things to think about before you make your decision.
Your entire life people will always have opinions that sometimes you dont agree with. For your entire life you will be talked about behind your back and questioned to your face. But it is your choice t decide whether or not you are going to let the things that people say and do control what makes you happy.
You can date who ever you want and what other people say will still be looming over you, so what you need to decide is whethe ror not that is just another excuse for a reason to not date him. It probabl isnt, but you never know what you might be subconciously holding in. So basically its up to this. You have to decide on dating him because of who he is and how he makes you feel not what other people say.
There are lots of things that keep perfectly great couples apart and I would hate to see two people who really like each other be kept apart by what other people think. Good luck, and I hope you make a decision that makes you feel right. Hope I helped, love ya,

solidadvice4teens answered Monday March 26 2007, 2:18 pm: Why would you ever allow yourself to be controlled but what other prople think? How dare they even voice an opinion about anything you do. Who cares if they don't like him or do not like you dating him? In five years you won't be able to remember the names or faces of half of them.
If you like this guy as much as he likes you accept him. You will be glad you did. You will likely have a very good relationship that you would be a fool to pass up. Let people make the comments they want. Don't let it bother either of you. They'll stop when they will see you both arent affected by that nonsense.
The truth of the matter is most of the girls and or guys making comments about you and him would be jealous that he's with you or you're with him. Pay it no mind and go about your business together.
You can definitely be in a relationship right now if you want to be. don't let anything hold you back here. That goes especially so for what other people may think or say. It's not their place to say anything first of all and if they did consider the source and reson behind it. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
