I've met someone.
Well, we've know eachother for about three years, but just recently we've started talking more often, and last weekend we went out on a date.
The date was wonderful. We got some ice cream and then walked down to the pond and sat on a park bench and talked for almost three hours. There was never a dull moment and we hit it off pretty good.
During the date he was very polite and flirtatious at the same time. He even kissed me a few times.
Here's where I might have a problem:
He does not want a girlfriend. He's almost 18 and he says he's too young to be tied down and deal with having a gf (he got out of a bad relationship a few months ago --- they dated about 5 months and she was a bit psycho). So I asked him if him and I were going to keep it at a friend level (i asked him this a few days after our date) and he replied with, "hm... maybe we can go on dates and stuff. i dunno"
Is this just a bad situation to be getting myself in? I really like this guy .. I could see myself falling pretty hard for him, but I don't want to get too involved if nothing is going to ever happen as far as a relationship.
Also, I'm pretty straightforward and I'm worried that I could scare guys away by asking questions such as ,"Do you like me? Is this going anywhere?" flat out.
