what should I do?
a.give him a chance and say f***k it to everyone else
b. listen to my friends cause they know what is right for me?
Do you friends "hate" him because of his teeth...? If this is the reason then I think your friends are cruel. I think it's adorable that he's be longing for you. And, girl, teeth can always be fixed. No big deal. I say give the poor guy a chance - what's the worst that could happen? Your friends may decide to disown you for a bit - but I bet they'll come around as long as you treat them pretty much the same.
Haven't you seen the movie "Can't Buy Me Love" - the 80's version? The hot girl ends up with the cute dork and her friends are totally still her friends. Haha! Good luck!
if YOU like him then give him a chance.. who cares what they think its your life and you do whatever you want. Why do they hate him, b.c. of his looks or b.c. he did something? I have told my friends omg don't date him he is annoying, not good looking enough, total loser...but good thing they did b.c. now when I got to know them much better they are so NICE and treat my friends so good. So from now on I keep my opinions to myself until I really get to know the guy lol. anyways sure friends know what is right for you, but I think the person who knows it best is you
If you let your friends dictate who you can and cannot date based on social status and public opinion, then "varsity cheerleading captain" really does define you as a person.
Go for it, kid.
If you want to give him a chance, do so. Your friends don't know how you feel.

They hate him because they realize that you like him a lot and he doesn't like them. They could be jelous.. I mean think about it, why would you hate someone that you havnt even talked to unless you hate something that they were doing.. and no.. your freinds don't know what's right for you, come on.. lol you kno what is right for you and you obviously have some feelings for him, if you don't give him a chance, or at least get to know him regardless of what everyone thinks.. you might be asking yourself forever. don't let your shallow freinds dictate who you associate with, sorry but they seem really immature. the sort of people id probably cut my eyes at :S you go girl! get ur man, he seems to like yu a ton :)
I say, date who you want to date. If you like this guy, then go ahead and date him! Give him a chance!
Unless this guy is a true JERK, mean to you, or not compatible with you, I would just forget what your friends say and date the dude.
It's true, sometimes your friends DO know you better, and know which guys are good for you, and which ones aren't. BUT, if their reasons for disliking this guy is strictly based on shallow vain reasons, then forget them and their judgements! YOU will be the one dating him, not your friends.
I say give him a chance. So his teeth aren't perfect. That doesn't mean anything, he could be a really nice guy. Your friends may be looking out for you, but only you know what's really the best for you.
My boyfriend isn't someone that a lot of girls would take a second look at; he's not very thin, wasn't real popular in school, and doesn't care to dress real nice for the most part. However, he's one of the nicest guys I know, and I consider myself very lucky to have him.
If your friends would get mad or uspet just because you'd date him, then they aren't that good of friends.
Your friends are being shallow and don't want you to date him because his imperfect teeth will mess up their image of being perfect hot cheerleaders.
you have a choice, either date this guy and possibly mess up your relationship with your friends. You might have to deal with gossip and maybe (hopefully not) them not wanting to hang out with you as much, but if that happens they weren't your true friends anyway.
Or you could give him a chance and hopefully everything will work out. I think for your happiness you should do what's best for you.
If you like him go for it because if the only reason your friends don't like him is because he's in the band and not the quarter back of the football team they're pretty lame. Besides the band does have some pretty cute guys and most of them hold pretty high GPAs. :p
Anyways:
Find out your friends concerns and try and figure out why they hate him if its because what I said before then trust your own judgement and if they're really your friends they'll stick with you and respect your decision
you are the only one that really knows what you think is right for you... I think you should give him a chance it is not fair to him that you are letting your friends decide your dating status... why do they hate him so much? cause his teeth are crooked? that's shallow if so.
They might know something you don't... have they actually told you why they don't like him...
What wound up happening though... looks like it's been a while since this was asked?
