...better our friendship? I just met this guy a couple of weeks ago, and I'm starting to like him a lot. We have only talked a couple of times, but I know that he definitely likes me as a friend, and he's a really nice guy. The only issue is that our lives are completely different. He's one of the biggest stoners, while I'm a straight A student. He parties all of the time, while I stay home most weekends. But we have similar interests when it comes to music and pop culture. His group of friends, who have known me for even longer, always make it a point to talk to me and I think that's given him the impression that I'm cool (?). The other problem is that I just can't stop thinking about him. He is so much more popular than I am, and I don't know if those differences I mentioned would have much of an impact. What can I do to become fairly good friends this year? Should I even give it a shot?
