Don't send an anonymous letter???? That's borderline stalking!\n\nTry to at least get involved with the friends that he hangs out with.  You might be able to learn more about him through them.  You will eventually meet him through them.  This way it doesn't look like your pursuing him directly.\ngood luck

hun, if you like him then go out with him. Do you. If they are your true friends the will accept your relationship. Dont give up on what you want because your friends dont want you to go out with him. Its your life and you only live it once. Good luck.

girl, you are so right. if you like him and he is good to you and good for you, go for it. chance are, your "friends" are just jealous 'cause this guy is crazy over you. you true friends will want to see you happy. the rest will just fuss cause he doesn't fit in to their click. you are being more mature than your friends and it's nice to see everybody doesn't base everything on looks alone! good for you! good luck!

yes you should see a counselor to seek more information and help with this situation. it sounds like you are attracted to being popular more than being attracted to him because despite his disrespect towards you, you choose to stay around because of the popularity you've gained. it's important to look at this situation and decide which you value more. respect from him or the popularity amongst peers. i understand the importance of being 'accepted' but it shouldn't dictate your values because you are the one who decides what you will do with your life and not someone else.

I say go for it. As ur long as ur not fooling urself that it's more then it is, I understand how it can be comforting to have someone to hang out with in a more than friendly way. as long as the guy is sensitive to ur situation and cares about u as a friend as well as a 'sensual' buddy, u can make the most of the situation!

I noticed a lot of "everybody" in your question. Do what YOU want to- regardless of what everyone thinks. You can't live your life worrying about being popular or not if you make a decision.  If you really like him-go for it.  If it's just a game and you'll hurt someone else's feelings when people turn their backs on you-then forget it, he doesn't deserve that.  If people think you're weird for being with someone that makes you happy, then they're not friends at all!

He's flattered that you like him. It boosts his self-esteem. Sounds to me like he's got a lower confindence level than you realize. He probably cares alot about what the popular kids in school think about him? You may not realize, but he really does care.\nSounds to me like he likes you but is afraid of what the other kids will think if he goes out with you. He's just too young to realize right now. But, hey, he wants to be your friend. Be his friend!\nThat's how the greatest, longest-lasting relationships start out. Don't fawn over him, just chill w/ him. Be buds! They love that.

I tell ya, when I was younger, I wish the girls would have been a little more bold, and asked me out. I was shy and couldn't do it half the time. Well, we grow up, but had that happened, who knows how things would be different...\n\nI say yes, go for it.. you might blow his mind...

Your friend knows very well that he likes you. You need to ask yourself if you really like him? There is no point in going out with him just for the sake of it. You don't sound very interested in him. If you do like him then go for it. Tell your friend that if he was interested in her he would have ask her out not you.

you sure be confident and don't be afraid to ask him if he likes you and try to ask him out. If it doesn't work out, you guys could still be friends.
