text: help with a guy??? okay - so b4 i posted this q!  so basically i'm 17, i've never had a boyfriend but like a couple of months ago my friend told me that this guy who's kinda part of our group at school, really liked me. before, i'd never really talked to him but for some reason i started to and i found that i actually quite liked him! last week he asked me out and i said yes! thing is now i don't really know what to do - only time i've seen him really so far is at school - and there's always people around so it's really awkward! also i'm kinda feeling like he likes me more than i like him! i do like him but at the moment i just really want to back out but i know i shouldn't! any suggestions!!!   and now - this is my situation   still havent proprly bin out with him but see him most days! he's kinda clingy - keeps saying sory fot stupid things etc - i've decided i can't go out with him any more - it's too hard - but i stil like him as a frend! hw do i let him dwn gently so we cld stil b  friends? first of all dating someone who has been your froiend is tough. as for how to let him down and still be friends....dealing with heartbreak allways hurts someone and is very difficult to do, but if you do not be honest with him now...it will go on and on and the next thing you know..he will hear it from someone else and all of a sudden you are using him...at least that is what he will think. just be upfront and honest with him. this way he knows the truth before someone else can distort it.    cb
