Should She Give Him A Chance?

I have a friend who is a very sweet girl. Ever since our junior year in highschool she has had this one guy constantly trying to get her attention. He was the school's geek- not smart, socially awkard, srawny, annoying voice, etc. She finally let him take her to prom, which turned out to be a disaster since his car got towed and they spent the night trying to get his car back. Anyway, flashforward to today, he is still trying to get my friend's attention. She's told him that they can be friends and that's all, but he's still trying to be more. I haven't seen him in years so I can't say how he is now- if he's changed or anything- but he is determined and I'm wondering if she should give him a chance? Maybe she is so caught up in how he was in high school, that she can't tell if he's changed. Then again, if she is not attracted to him at all, maybe she should keep the whole "friends only" vibe between them.

Passed is past, that's my version of the line. I'd say give the guy a chance. Maybe he wants to make up for the previous disaster. Who knows, things could turn up all right, and besides, she all grown up now, I believe she knows when things are going the wrong way and then she could just break up and let go. If it seems like a good opportunity and if she believes that a person can truly change, then give it a shot.

Why not give him the chance i mean what harm could it do lets say she gives him a chance and it goes wrong again she is only giving him a second chance not a lifetime commitment and they might end up getting on really well. As for the prom night incident that can`t be held against him forever get your friend to put herself in his shoes you have liked someone for so long and then you finally get a chance think how nervous the poor guy must have been which would prob explain why it ended up a disaster. Give him a chance she may be pleasently surprised

Hi vjenkins86, Just listen first to the other side. If it is necessary to give a chance why not? anyways it depends upon the situation.

I think she should give him a chance. It's not a bad idea... if she's single and he's single go to the flow...see what's gonna happen youll never know what's gonna happen. It might be the least that you expected for. Tell you friend good luck!!
