What do I do?

So I went on a date last night with Joe and it went well. We saw Flags of our Fathers (sadness), played Pool at a Pool Hall in Hamden, and ate at Fridays. I really enjoyed playing Pool and I did better than I thought :) woo hoo! So yeah I know that he is really into me and I do like him but I don't know if I am into him the way that he is into me. He is obviously more into me than I am into him. So do I date him? I don't know...my best friend Jacky doesn't think I should. She was so harsh on me but I guess the truth is harsh. She said I would be dating him for the wrong reasons...being lonely, because I like the attention, I wouldn't be taken advantage of, being treated like a princess, being wanted and loved, etc. Maybe using him in a way then? My intentions are not to use him or to hurt him though. I am a believer in feelings growing. Perhaps my feelings can grow for him over time and then again there is that chance they won't and then I'll have no choice but break his heart. Hmmmm yeah this is really hard. I feel like good can come from this though....it would be a learning experience none the less and maybe more than that. So what do I do?

In the past I went into relationships where I didn't love the person at first but overtime my feelings grew for the person. I have faith that it can happen again...doesn't he deserve a chance?
