I Don't Know If This Guy Is Trouble!

There is this guy that really likes me in my school. He goes in my bus and lives in my condo. I have a lot of fun with him, and he is a real nice company. But there is a problem. He has some serious problems with his conduct. In my condo all the security guards are aware of him. But he is real nice to me. Now he's asked me out. On one hand I want to say yes, but on the other I don't want to 'cause of his conduct with adults. What should I do? - Anonymous

"Hey, Girl-Friend!" Well, my advice to you is to stay away from him if he is trouble! Even though you like him, that doesn't mean that everything is cool. He can get you into a lot of trouble. Don't risk it!

Plus, you don't even know what kind of dude this guy really is. It might seem that if you don't go out with him that you will miss out on a lot, but in the future you won't regret it. Just think of what kind of guy he really is. Don't over-judge him though because no one deserves to be judged and who are we to judge someone else? Also, everyone deserves a chance.

Well, I hope this can help. Laters! :)
