He likes me . but do I like him?

owieufypweiu n ...

sorryy , there's this guy that i've been texting and RARELY talking to him at school .
he's really nice , and really sweet too , and I would go out with him but my best friend told me that he doesn't talk much when you go out with him , because she did . she's totes on board with me going out with him , and she even told him to compliment me , and he has . but it took her saying that to actually do that ... which makes the mind wander , you know ? like if that happens what could actually happen if we were in a relationship ? anyways , my friend went out with him and said that things were awkward between them when they went out , and it only lasted two weeks . and he and I are really good friends now and im not sure if I want to ruin that . my best friend tells me that he'll probably talk to me because i'm a convo starter , but i'm pretty sure i'm not supposed to be the only one starting conversations . he is too , right ? anyways , I guess what i'm asking (that is if you're still interested in answering my Q) , is it a good idea to go out with this guy ? is it worth it ? should I take the shot and try it ?
(and yes , I realize that is more than one . and if you could also answer if girls arent supposed to be the only ones starting convos that would really help too .)

THANKS FOR THE HELP ! I OWE YOU ! ANY Q's YOU WANT ME TO ANSWER , PUT THE LINK IN A COMMENT (:

There are no rules on who starts a conversation. Your description sounds like he may be shy and nervous around girls. How and why two people can make a relationship work is as varied as there couples. Just don't listen to your friends; don't put him under a microscope or build up a lot of advance expectations about what might happen. Just relax and try it. If it works, keep going out with him until it doesn't. That may be one date or one lifetime. Sometimes the only way to know is to try.

dude I was so like that a year ago just let him build up confidance dont put him down if he tries to talk to u you should go for it theres no conversation rule
