A female Australia, anonymous writes:

I have a friend who I like alot (we are both 19) and I know he likes me too, but Im not sure if its worth giving us a go. The reason I think it may not be is because we are soooooooo different.

He is a very out going, flirty, sociable person, who loves to drink, party and go clubbing alot.

I'm a shy, quiet natured person who isnt exactly antisocial, but I would rather just stick to my close friends, rather then go out in large groups with people who im not that close to. I dont drink either and always feel like an outsider in drinking situations. So im not really the party type.

Hes into sports, and any situation that involves drinking and im into music and art. Yet he works at a day care centre so this kind of shows a different side of him- a more caring, sensitive, sensible side which is what i think drew me to him. That and that he is funny, interesting, nice and kind to me too.

I just dont see how this could work, but i wish it could cause i like him alot. But at the same time, i can just imagine myself being in so many tears because i think there would be so many issues for us to overcome and i think it would require one of us to change- to change who we are and thats not fair is it?

My question is, do you think its possible for a relationship with us two to work?? If so, how can we make it work? Has anyone else ever been in a similar situation? What was it like? If put in the same situation, would you give it a go, having known what you now know, back then?

Thanks for any help!

i used to be you with my current boyrfriend we were such close friends and he actually was in love with me and i really liked him but we were best friends but everything is worth taking a chance because it may turn out to be the best thing ever. Try it seriosuly it could really work if not at least yuu can say we tried it
