Dear Megan,
I assume that
you mean that you found out that he likes you as more than
a friend. I would be curious to know how you got this information.
If it is through a friend of either his or yours, I would
be careful. Teenagers are notoriously bad at accurately
relaying messages.
At the risk of
sounding "way out of touch" I will attempt to offer you
an adult point of view. Whether or not you should date this
boy really depends on what you are looking for. If what
you want is simply someone to hang out with, maybe date
a few times, perhaps someone to go to a dance with, go for
it.
 Beware
though, if it ends, which most relationships do eventually,
the chances of the two of you reaming friends is pretty
slim.
| I
think Jody means "male" friend, But maybe
she is talking about pen pals. |
 If,
on the other hand, you are looking for a long-term relationship,
why mess with something that isn't broken.
In the grand
scheme of life, a few good mail friends are worth more than
an equal number of boyfriends. A good mail friend can provide
a great guy perspective for you throughout your life. You
can still hangout, go out, go to dancing, etc. as friends
without risking your friendship. If, when the time comes,
you decide that this is the person that you want to marry,
the two of you will have a long history together to build
on and no hard feelings.
I am just guessing
at your age but it sounds to me like you have some time
before you need to select a life partner, why not play a
while and save this guy as the valuable friend that he may
turn out to be?
