should I give us a chance?

Deepthinker (I love your name!)\n\nFor starters - This is something to remember -- on one hand, it is a GOOD thing to examine your steps, and decisions.   Too many teens (and everyone in general) do things without considering the consequences.\n\nOn the other hand -- TOO much introspection can lead you to stay in neutral.  Don't get me wrong -- if I were to choose between a regrettable, impulsive act, vs waiting too much, I'd still choose the wait.\n\nBut there are OTHER issues in life where you will need to recognize the person in you that procrastinates.   And, sometimes, waiting for the perfect moment, has its drawbacks.\n\nOK -- NOW, ON TO YOUR QUESTION:\n\nLet's examine your statements, one by one.   ("Your thoughts in quotes").   "I just don't want it because I'm still young but I really like him".\n\nOnly you know when you're ready for a relationship.   Respect that intuition.   However, if it's the fear of the unknown that's stopping you, then you can set the guidelines.  And take it real slow.   Just friends learning about each other.   That way, if he's not "the one", there won't be any hurt feelings, or lingering emotions.\n\nThe fact that you like him is worth noting.   Only you know why, so maintain a balance -- enjoy the moment, and keep your emotions on check, you know.\n\n"NOW AFTER A YEAR HE STILL LIKES ME AND HE'S WAITING"\n\nI don't know if that's typical of teens these days.   When I was a teen, I'd wait for someone to show her I wasn't playing the field, or that she was the one.   But I was just too shy to open my mouth, too!   Waiting a year for someone is admirable if the guy has raging hormones (sorry, to use that term), but shouldn't be a big deal in the sense that anyone with character would have these qualities.   \n\nI guess it's a good thing -- not spectacular, but good.\n\n"MIGHT NOT WORK FOR BOTH OF US.  I FEEL WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENCES."\n\nThat will be an issue if the relationship goes long-term.  And it's not a bad thing.  Differences are what makes couples stronger.  If your communication skills are good, and your emotional levels are mature, you can help one another realize something about themselves (e.g  A blind spot, or something you can make them stronger in ).\n\nIt doesn't work if neither of you is willing to overlook the differences.   It won't work if neither of you are able to yield on these differences.  \n\nI don't know exactly what these differences are.  If they're cultural -- that's significant, though NOT impossible to work out.   If these differences are something like hobbies, or interests -- well, if you like one another, you will learn to appreciate what that other person is into, and it will add to your life experience.  However, if it's something like he's into sports, and you're not -- well, again, you can work it out.  Couples need to give one another space on some issues.\n\n"I ALSO BELIEVE HE REALLY LOVES ME BECAUSE ... MORE OF A DECADE."\n\nThe decade part is more of a consideration.  There IS something valuable in knowing someone for 10 years, even if you never spent time with one another.  It's significant in that the time to observe and indirectly share in a timespan has its value.\n\nYou don't, and won't know if he really loves you, DT.  True love is more than a feeling, or needing companionship.  It's unconditional.  It's mutual respect.  It's about forgiveness and acceptance.\n\n"SHOULD I GIVE US A CHANCE?"\n\nFriendship is always a good thing.  Just take it slow.  Don't have any expectations.   Keep a watch on the doubts, and see if they evaporate with time, and what caused them to leave.   If they left because of physical contact (and it's WAY too early, for that, and can lead to shortcuts you might regret later).\n\nBut, if those doubts leave because o

Absolutely.   You only live once and the worst that can happen is she says no.  Life moves on.  But you never want to ask yourself, "what if I had taken a chance".  Do it with no regrets.\n\nOh, and GOOD LUCK!

This is your second chance. Not very many people can get second chances. So bite your tongue and work with it. If it is mean to be, it will happen.  If it isn't at least you had the second chance.  Just be patient and don't push.  She obviously likes you still. Give it a whirl and see how it goes.

They always say if at first you don't succeed try again so basically I think you should. Hopefully after so many tries he'll give you a chance. On the other hand, if he told you he's not interest than maybe you should try friendship as an option. It's best to be there for him somehow even if it's not the way you want. I am sure the right man will come along soon or he will come to it don't sweat it!

It's not up to someone else to decide--it's your call.  Make the decision, yes I'm over you or no, I still want to give it a shot but stick with whichever it is.  And remember, if it was that great you'd still be together.

When you have a dream, you never should sit back and let your chance pass you by. Always try. When oppotunity knocks you better answer it because that could be the last time you get a chance. If you want something bad enough you'll make it happen. You don't need my advice you already know what to do! I hope you choose to go for it!

hmm, well understand that you only get one chance at everything, and a couple years down the road you'll regret the fact that you never took a chance. I would give everything to go back in time and be even MORE outgoing and social!

You take your chances. Short of being a mind reader it is impossible to tell what another is thinking.  You can see if they treat you with respect and digity.  See if they will do things that you want to do. Go places you would like to visit. Smile when you are happy.  Try to help when you are not happy.

Why not! but be aware he is not very quick on the uptake, do you want to be in control? because you will be.\nGive him one chance.
