Go for him girl.

Just listen to your heart. ;D

Sometimes it's the differences between you two that set him apart from your other guy friends, which makes him unique to you. Go for it :) I say difference in guys can be refreshing :) :)

what if the guy says maybe and u know he likes u back but wont take the chance? i was in that same situation and now im stuck.

I agree...follow your heart. If you like him...or even think you might like him...see where it takes you. Don't let the fear of playing take you out of the game.

And I will say from experience, my boyfriend is the complete opposite of me in every way...racially, socioeconomically, educationally, etc. Our personalities are pretty different as well; I'm not nearly as laid back as he is. But our values are pretty similar and that helps. We've been together for three years and while our differences definitely affect the way we communicate with one another, just being aware of this helps a bunch. I say go for it. You never know what can happen.

I say do what you want to!
If you wanna ask him out, tell him that you really like him!
:) You only live once.

listen to your heart =D

I say stick with being friends for a while. Get to know his TRUE colors before falling so fast for him. Its better to be a friend long enough to finally be able to see the difference in attraction and companionship.
:D I rather be in love with my best friend.

Sometimes a change in scenery helps you to realize what you DO want.
Go for it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. At least you'll know a little better what you want and/or don't want in a guy.

I had a relationship with someone who was very different from me.. in the long run, it turned out pretty messy. But that was just me :]. I say, if you really really like him.. try it. ^^ Just.. make sure your oppinions on things aren't TOO different from his.. because trust me, if you guys have trouble agreeing on things, it won't work out. I agree with Alicia Vaillancourt. Wait until you REALLY get to know him before you make any major moves. Make sure he is what you want, and really think if you'll be happy with this person.

So far seems like you have a good opportunity in your hands :) But you can go more than one way with this. You can either spontaneously go for it, or just stick to getting to know him for a while longer just to see how comfortable you feel with him. From my personal experiences, the guys that aren't overly similar to you tend to be the ones that you get a long with the most. I used to try and stick with guys that shared a lot of common traits with me, but it was easier for us to argue over things because we were almost the same person emotionally and mentally. I think a guy that is different from the rest is a good and positive thing. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

The same thing happened to me and I asked my friend what to do... Now we're together as a couple and I'm very happy... so I'll give you the same advice she gave me:

Go for him! If you haven't yet gone out on a date or something like that... then now would be your chance to do it! see if these feelings you have really are what you think they are...

Variety is a good thing. Try him out. Why not. He may be attracted to you as well.
You won't know till you try. If not, then, it wasn't meant to be. There are other guys
out there. {-:

Maybe different is what you need. It's obvious because you're single (or so I assume) that the relationships in your past haven't worked out. Being with someone completely different may just be the exact right thing to do.

yea im going through the same thing :) been friends for ages with this guy (pretty much known each other since we were little kids) now i kinda like him :) and he is alot different than other guys ive been interested in, but dont know if he feels the same...but reading these comments has deffinately helped! its true, you only live once! so if he says no i guess we just have to move on (and hopefully still be friends :D)

i'd say go for it :) im in the same kinda situation. but im worried to tell him how i feel and ask him how he feels, i dont want it to ruin the friendship we have..help please :) X
