***THIS IS A REPOST FROM YESTERDAY, BUT I REALLY NEED ADVICE. PLEASE HELP!!***


well...i have quite a dilemma.  :]

you see, there's this guy... his name is nathan.
okay, he's in my multimedia (technology) class, and last year he was in my theatre
class. we didn't really talk to each other last year, but this year we've become
really good friends. at the beginning of the school year, neither of us really knew
anyone in our class except each other, so we hung out a lot. the other day, he told
me that he really likes me and wanted to know if i'd go out with him. i told him i
didn't know because i wasn't sure if i felt the same way. he said he understood, but
i know i really hurt him. now he acts like nothing happened, but i know he's still
sad. i feel really bad, and now i think i might like him too. another problem is
that he's a freshman and i'm a sophomore... i know that doesn't seem like a huge
difference, but my friends think going out with someone younger than you is wrong. 
]:

i need some advice...<3
if i decide to go out with him, i want to tell him by friday because that's our last
day of school before the break, so please hurry!
:]
