Hi guys, well, it's me again. The 16 year old who was all ready to ask a guy out. I went into the store today and when i was about to walk up to the guy, i met a group of friends and a boy in this group told me that he knew this person i was planning to ask out and revealed facts about him which are ridiculous: He is extremely sarcastic and a sexist, he is 25, has only ever had two girlfriends, is proud of watching porn, lost his virginity at 23 and they basically told me that i don't want to go there. This person is very honest and one of his friends could confirm everything about him. I was disappointed to say the least...he seemed such a lovely, sweet guy and u know, for a few minutes after i left my friends, i wanted to convince myself that it wasn't true and that i should have talked to him anyway and found out myself, but if everything is true, then i guess it's better to have found out the easy way and saved myself the heartbreak...I lost 2 nights of sleep over this guy and...

My friend found out this information, because his brother used to be friends with this guy. Do you think i should take the chance and speak to him myself, even with the possibility that all those things may be true?

Some things can get spread around as rumors, so I think you should at least give the guy a chance. Don't get involved, and if he really is like your friends said, just cut him loose. Nothing to lose sleep over or freak about.

You are young. You are a romantic. Not the flowers and hearts romantic. The classic kind. The kind who believes that everything will be ideal, that everything will turn out that best, despite the evidence. Not that this is bad. You still have illusions waiting to become their reality, and dreams to be broken. This is an important part of growing. You may have thought him ideal, but no person is perfect, everyone has flaws, and you will have to accept that. All that glitters is not gold.

The first step is to ask the guy out and get to know him yourself. If anything the age may be an issue. All of that other garbage that hating azz friend of yours was spewing should be dismissed with extreme prejudice. I forget you are only 16 and have not yet learned that what your friends tell you is not gospel. First ask yourself how your friend could possibly have all of this information and then ask yourself if it really even matters. You did not say the guy is a rapist. Talk to him yourself and don't listen to them jealous azz friends of yours.

You sound like Margarete from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austin. If you have no clue what I'm talking about go to the nearest bookstore/library and ask for this book. At least I think her name was Margarete, the middle sister, someone else help me out with this one.

Come back with a philosophy question and someone in this department might be able to help you ( no sarcasm intended).
