Dear What's Inside,
It's refreshing to get a question like yours once in a while. I
can tell that you have a good head on your shoulders and that your
heart is in the right place.
Only Your Opinion Matters
The only person whose opinion matters here is your own. If all
your friends were telling you not to date him because, for example,
he's a known felon, then I'd tell you to listen to them.
However, it seems that all they are taking into account is his
looks. From the way you've phrased your question, I think you already
know what the right answer is.
Be Honest With Yourself
Be careful, though. You need to be completely honest with yourself,
because you're dealing with his feelings as well as your own. Right
from the start, you need to be able to truly say that his looks
do not matter to you.
You'll Have To Stand up For Him
What's more, you need to decide whether the constant badgering
from your friends is also something you'll be able to deal with.
The day will probably come when you'll have to put them in their
place if they can't get it through their skulls that you've made
a decision you're happy with, and they need to let the looks issue
drop.
It takes a very mature, self-assured person to see past a person's
looks and view what's important. If I just described you, then I
think you know what to do.
