I am scared to death right now. I like this guy in my class, but everyone else hates him. I really want to ask him to a dance we're having Friday, but I'm afraid my reputation will sink lower, and its already pretty low! I NEED HELP!!!!!!!
lilstef1992 answered Sunday February 3 2008, 10:40 pm: This is definitely my question to answer. lol.
but like everyone else said...ask him! you don't need to think about what everyone else thinks. if they don't have anything nice to say, their opinions don't matter. and do what makes you happy. and true, i think you'll bring up his reputation like the other person said.

What truly matters is what you think of this guy, no one else. How much of their input on him matters to you? Think about this: People are definitely going to judge you without knowing you. They're going to tell others their personal opinions of you. You don't want the other people to side with them instead of actually getting to know you, right? Instead of judging him only by what others say why don't you get to know the kid? Sure, you may be a bit nervous of what others will think of it, but you know what? To hell with them! Maybe people will actually respect you for having the courage to talk to who you want to without caring what others have to say about it.
I'm not sure if you ever saw the movie Legally Blonde but I would like to point out an example from it. In Legally Blonde, Elle Woods have a guy in her Havard University law class who the popular, attractive girls didn't want anything to do with. After the two girls rejected the guy, Elle approached him praising him for a good time the previous night. Did she care about the two girls who rejected him? No.
Overall, you shouldn't let others interfere with what you want to do. Make your own decisions, don't let others make them for you. If you're going to follow what everyone else does you might as well have no unique qualities. Do I think you should go for it? Absolutely. Come on, you're smarter than they are! And if he turns out to be a creeper or something at least YOU know from experience and not because someone else said that's what he was.

BeFABULOUSxo answered Sunday February 3 2008, 7:47 pm: Ask him!
If you like him. Go for it.
Who cares what anyone else says!
Do you live your life to please them??
NO! You don't. You live your life to please yourself.
This kid would probably be overwhlemed with joy if you asked him.
Go for it. Mark yourself and this kid happy.
And plus .. why live with a regret?
Ask him!
