teen and there's a
girl who I
think is interested in me, and has also indirectly
expressed that. The problem is that a cousin is also in
the same school and they both are friends. I fear that
if we
get into a relationship, it will be public knowledge
very soon. Plus, I have been told by a friend that a guy
has told her some bad things about me and I think she'll
be confused about
having a relationship. Please help. Should I just
confront that guy and
should I ask her out?"
Dating is no different than hunting
If you are going to be afraid like
this, my friend, you will not
get anywhere in life. Indeed, something can go wrong
and there maybe embarrassing moments but that is life.
Plus, you are just
dating someone, it is not as if you are
committing
a murder. So there is no reason to
keep it secret.
Also,
human beings love gossip and there is no way you can
shut every mouth that opens. So just ignore that guy who
has been talking nonsense. If this
girl is interested in you, ask her out, and that way
she will find out for herself what kind of a person you
are -- you will get an opportunity to clarify everything
yourself. |
