Posted by Anonymous on 2012/03/02 under Uncategorized I turned HIM down. He asked me out, I said no. He’s not my type. I’m not ready for a boyfriend. Bla bla bla. But he is such a good friend to me… How can I keep saying no when he likes me so obviously? And people keep saying they’re sure he likes me for my personality… I mean, it’s not like he could like me for my looks… That’s not me putting myself down, that’s actually what people have said. I need to figure this out. Pros of dating him: He’s kind, better than a lot of other guys I could get. He likes me back. I would actually have a boyfriend after YEARS of being single. I would have someone to hold and comfort me. He makes me laugh. I see him all the time. He understands me, to a point. He forgave me for accidentally knocking his old DS into the fountain. He is willing to sing loudly and badly with me in public. Even in the “friend zone,” he hasn’t given up. He’s taller than me, which is rare. Cons: Dad doesn’t like him. My family would make fun of me. My FRIENDS would make fun of me. He’s a big time gamer, and I can’t stand video games. I don’t know his family. He’s more willing to touch than I am, and that might be bad for both of us. This may be a bit picky, but he kind of smells. He’s very thin. He appears to wear the same outfit every day. He might resent my sudden decision to date him, like I think I call all the shots. If we dated, it wouldn’t be private, he would make sure EVERYONE knew. But maybe that’s a pro… I mean, it would mean he’s proud to have me… Oh God Dammit. Does this make me a bad person, or just a stereotype dumb overly-dramatic teenager?
