problem that should't be a problem

[BleedingMe]

I don't usually get all emo, but here goes... I started a new school for my last year and there's this guy in my ap lit class that I've been hanging out with. I really like him but we are from different worlds. He's going to Purdue next year and he has a nice family (his parents are still together), they live in a super nice house, and he's popular. I don't like the whole popular thing but when it comes down to it that doesn't matter. I'm going to Columbus State (a small community college), my family is all fucked up, and I'm like antisocial. He doesn't seem to have enough depth for me, I want a guy who can understand my past, and I don't think he can. He's too much of a good boy and that is not my type. I don't know what to do, we're so different. I'm usually not like this about guys. I can see us getting closer the more we hang out, but I don't know if I should let it get too personal, it would have to end before it got started anyway.

Sorry about writing a book! If you don't feel like reading it don't.

boundaries are good in terms of how far you want to go in a relationship with someone, like whether it be staying friends or getting more serious.... boundaries, however, should not limit you types of people... if you want to get to know him, go with it. don't close yourself off just because you think he may not be able to understand you - you don't know what goes on in people's minds or behind closed doors. my circle of friends in high school were the kinds of people whose family reflected well in the community and were always thought to have it together, when in reality, i've had to help some of my friends go through most fucked up situations and deal with things i thought would never happen to them... so don't think you know this guy just from what you see.. you can't judge a book by its cover, right?

Oh my God, I am going thru the exact same thing. I like this guy, but we are complete opposites. We are friends so I don't want to say anything because if he doesnt feel the same it would be awkward.

My girlfriend and I are total opposites, and we were when we first started to be friends as well. She's a Norah Jones fan, I'm a Thursday fan. She watches "The Even Stevens," I watch the Cardinals. She's exotic-looking, I'm a California boy.

Anybody who says, "We're too different" as an excuse for not being in a relationship with somebody (or for shutting somebody down) is an idiot. Differences are often what make a relationship exciting and interesting. They should be celebrated and appreciated rather than avoided. I think it's pathetic how many people who are nearly identical fall into a relationship just because it's so easy.

Get out there and find somebody who makes you uncomfortable or who is outside your tiny realm of experience and get to know him or her.
He doesn't seem to have enough depth for me, I want a guy who can understand my past, and I don't think he can.
Get off your high horse. Whatever terrible things have happened to you have happened to other people, and they have survived it. And don't be such an arrogant asshole that you assume that this "good boy" can't understand whatever it is you've gone through. Give the guy a chance, for Christ's sake. How would you feel if he assumed you wouldn't be able to understand him because he's too well-cultured for you and your "fucked up" family?

Look, people - if you like somebody and you're afraid to admit it, you will regret it in ten, twenty, fifty years. That is absolute fact. No matter what happens to you, there will always be a "What if...?" hovering over your shoulder for the rest of your life. The only way to find out "what if" is to grow some goddamn balls and try it.

I'd rather crash and burn than never live.
