Do Opposites Attract?
There is a guy at my school that I really like. But we are totally different from one another. He's a druggie, he smokes, I even saw that he was on the ineligibility list once, whereas I'm not a druggie, and I'm in National Honour Society (which should say a lot about my academic status). We don't even talk that much, he hangs out with a completely different crowd than I do, and I only see him three times max. a day in school. The only thing that we have in common with each other is that we are both artists. He's complimented me a few times with my art. What should I do? My friends all say that he's bad news, but I just can't help myself, I get all tingly inside and my stomach just drops everytime I see him, that's got to mean something.

Attraction is a weird thing to try to stop or control. It's one of those involuntary, completely human, sensations we feel. But you can't let your attraction to this guy influence your common sense.
Let's think of this in perspective. You're in the NHS (congrats, that's a great thing to achieve), this is a huge advantage for you when it comes to applying for colleges.
Now let's this guy asks you out and you begin to date. Eventually, if not right away you're going to be going to these shady places where there's all sorts of creeps lurking about and your date is going to offer you a joint (or whatever). You say no. He pressures you, threatens to dump you if you keeping refusing.
What are you going to do? If you say no, that shows true character. But what if now you've fallen head over heels for him and get high just to keep him? Will you get hooked. If you do the NHS goes right down the tube along with your grades and your chance to get into a good college. Your future's over.
My best advice for you, is to just let this crush take its course. Believe me, it won't last, and you'll soon find someone with a better reputation and who will respect you.
Please, if nothing else, just ponder the consequences I've laid out for you, and remember how much you have going for you in your life! A bright girl like you deserves a lot better than him!
You're just attracted to his bad boy image but you're not attracted to him because you don't know him. If you're saying that he's a druggie etc... then he's not for you. This guy is really someone who you should stay away from. There are so many guys out there you don't have to fall for a druggie.
Opposites DEFINATLEY attract!! But I must say, that is an interesting combination but not in a bad way. I think, that if you really like him, and if you have a good feeling about it, you should definatley keep at it. Your art could be the one thing that brings you together and I'm sure, after that, you'll find many other things in common.
In my opinion i would stay back and just talk with him on an art level. Cause how would u feel if u got caught with him while he was doing drugs and you had to give up going to school for 6 months to a year, do you think he is worth it.
sometimes opposites do attract. for example, magnets. north attracts to south. lol im just kidding. but anyway, i like this guy and we're really different. he gets in trouble most of the time and i dont. hes into sports but im not. hes "rich".. meaning hes gonna become rich soon with all his stock stuff going on at school.. im the opposite.. but he likes me too..
i think u hav a likely chance to get together with him =D
Yes, opoosites attract, but they rarely make it to the altar.
For example, according to the US census bureau, interracial couples now represent 4.9% of all married couples.
The fact of matter is, people tend to married people who are samiliar to themselves. This is especially true of race, religion, and socio-economic status.
In your situation, I would reccomend that you listen to your friends. Usually, when people who care about you (friends) tell you that a particular person is bad news, you should listen.
there don't stay tog
if you are smart and have a very good life in front of you why would you start to hang out with someone that will ruin your life?? you should not even be interested in hI'm im sorry for being so mean but it true
Stay away form him...he may be nice but he could get you in serious trouble that can ruin ur academic status....find someone else!
Why the hell would you want to hook up with a druggie????
hes not right for you...theres always tingling feelings when you're young
