to date, or not to date....

Q: Should you date someone you're not really all that into at the moment, but you think that the person has potential to grow on you?

A: Heaven's NO! You're risking breaking another person's heart. My answer will always be NO when you put hearts on the line. Get to know the person in group settings, and if you gradually begin to migrate to each other during these settings, THEN pursue a dating relationship with that person.

Q: How do you let someone who's interested in you know that you just want to be friends, if you really do honestly want to be friends and aren't just saying that line like everyone does?

A: Once you know someone is interested in you, it can be a bit awkward. You want to try to "stay normal" when you're around them but you know you're acting weird. We all want to tippy toe around the subject and pray it blows over. In reality it probably really is best to have a discussion with the person and let them know that you truly do value their friendship, but do not see the relationship moving any further than that. The next few encounters you have with them will probably be a little awkward, someone has just gotten rejected, and their feelings will be hurt. Once this resolves, the friendship will more than likely go back to normal.

happy dating! `A
