Should I go out with this guy? I am confused, I have never had a bf?

Question

I am in 8th grade and I started school recently, and this guy who is named Henry in my history class has a friend who likes me (I never knew until today) and so Henry called me today unexpectedly and said he got my number from someone at school, so he said to me that his friend named david likes me and he wants to ask me out but he's too shy to ask me. I said ''oh, i didn't know he liked me'' then i said " I'll think about it, because there is a lot going on''. Anyway i sat down in room thinking that I kinda like this David and I kinda don't. David isn't popular and dosen't have the best looks but he's shy and I am shy too. But I like outgoing guys. I don't know what to do, because I have never had a boyfriend before, I am just afraid of what people are going to think.

Thankyou, help is much appreciated[=

Answer 1

His not being popular shouldn't be a consideration.  It sounds a little like you're thinking more about how this would impact your relationships with other people instead of about him (the "I am just afraid of what people are going to think." hints at that too).  If that's your biggest concern, then say no.  You're not ready.

I could be way off base on this, and if I am you have my apologies.

Also, let me add that all you've said about him is negative.  Have you considered his positive attributes and other things that you find attractive in him?  Why not share those?

Answer 2

I think you should go out with him...It'll be cool to see what would happen between you! And you never know, you might actually REALLY like him ALOT!

Answer 3

you shouldnt be nervous to give someone a chance because there not cool or because of their looks he might shock you once you get to know him

Answer 4

The guy does int have the Guts to ask you face to face nor the energy and commitment to try...he does int like you enough.
