How to deal?!?!?!?!?

Question

to make a long story short: i like this guy and he likes me, we've been flirting over text and at school. i'm most definitely interested in pursuing a relationship, but when I think about my friends reactions to me being romantically involved with him, i don't see them being particularly pleased. what do i do?

(some people see him as a a big flirt, always charming the girls. he's always been super nice to me, and i feel that my awareness of his player-ness will help me keep my boundaries)

Answer 1

Follow your heart, it doesn't matter what your friends think about him. If you want to be with him just go for it.  

Answer 2

You should go out with a guy because you want to; it shouldn't matter what your friends think.

Answer 3

if you friends are cool friends or good friends they should accept your decision because one day they are also going to get over that player act.
