To date or not to date? Options

[LadyXTor]

I just found out one of my best friends like me and I don't really know how I feel about him back. We're scheduled to have a "pre-date" date to see if we want to actually start dating afterward. I'm not sure if I want to be more than best friends though. I'm also scared because we've been a little awkward lately and whenever I mention that we are, he says "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." I just found out my friend likes him a little too. Great. What do I do?

don't feel like you have to go out with someone just because they like you; you have to decide how you feel for yourself. it's easy to like someone just because they like you - but think about what could happen. if you like him enough to risk possibly losing your friendship, then go for it. if you're not sure, i don't know if you would actually want to go out with him - because if you do, you might not end up being as close of friends as you once were. also, if your friend likes him enough for it to affect your friendship with her, you must take that into account as well. i guess you could go either way, but you really have to make that decision for yourself, based on how you feel and what you want.
