So up until recently, one of my best friends was a boy. A little while ago, I found out from some mutual friends that he liked me...as in *like* liked me. And apparently he was planning to invite me to the 8th grade end of year dance/formal. I was super freaked out. I went home and had a conversation with my mom about it, where I ultimately decided that if he asked, I would go with him because it is good practice for later life, and it wasn't something to lose his friendship over. So the weeks went by. He didn't ask me, it seemed like he wanted to, he kept finding ways to get me alone, and then didn't ask me. Soon enough people started to find out....I don't know who told them, but they found out. And so soon half the school was gossiping about it. About 4-5 das before the dance he asked me over IM! But I said yes anyway and we went to the dance. He was sweet, and it was fun, but really awkward. And we slow danced and stuff, and half the grade now "ships" us. I don't really know what we are now...and i thinks he thinks we are dating, or at least wants us to be dating and i just don't know. I mean I like him, I do, but I just don't know if I'm ready to date him, or anyone! But I don't know how to tell him without REALLY hurting him as he is really sensitive...
So help! Should I go out with him, because I like him and he is a friend of mine, even if it is awkward, and dramatic for me, or should I call it off and risk losing him and/or hurting him for good?
