sounds to me he want a 'secret lover'..

and "not to tell any of my friends so they will stay out of our lives"?? wtf is that?? you better becareful cause you just might lose some of your precious friends

well, im not much good at giving people's advice.. but just dont do something that you'll regret.. especially losing a (some) good friends to some guy that you like..

I Think She Is Right You Need To Stay Cautious Maybe He Doesnt Want Your Friends To Know Because He Doesnt Want It To Get Around So That People Dont Know Hes Dating Someone Yonger I Dont Really Know Him That Well So I Cant Say Its True But From What It Sounds Like Thats Exactly It And You Might Wind Up Getting Hurt And Loosing People Close To You.

ok. he's been through and explained a bit bout it. my friend that asked him out 4 me is friends with now and even shes said "well he's a very considerate and sweet guy". his friends know me as well. he said that it's got something 2 do with the age difference. i've been friends with him 4 a long time. does that make a difference?

"no one is too young for love, because love doesnt come from your mind which knows your age, but from your heart which knows no age"

Maybe He Just Thinks He Might Get Into Trouble If A Lot Of People Were To Find Out He Was Dating Someone Younger. But Im Not Quite Sure :S
