The Student Room Group

opposites attract

Having just had freshers' week, I feel well away with the student life. So much so that my mind is playing games with me. At the start of the week I started talking to a guy, we instantly clicked, talking until 5 every morning and him crashing at mine (we've done a worrying amount, but not the whole thing.)

I'd be totally happy in this situation, except for one thing. Friday night, he was barred from the club, for having weed on him. I'm not the type to do this sort of thing, and never would. However, spending more and more time with him, I'm wondering if a proper relationship would work between us.

I know my parents would try to tell me to stay away from him, my friends would call me crazy, but there's something about him I like.

How do I go about this? Am I being stupid for thinking I could go out with a guy so different from me?

How is he different from you, just because he smokes weed? It's not like he's some big Columbian drug dealer and you're some sweet, innocent 16 year old beauty queen, you're both drinkers who like to go clubbing, he just happens to smoke weed as well.

And what kind of imbecile tries to take weed into a club anyway? Seriously, talk about moronic.

Lots and lots of students smoke weed nowadays, it's like a common thing. Unless he pressures you into doing it, or keeps smoking next to you when you don't want him to and it effects your relationship, then you have nothing to worry about in my opinion.

If he really is the live fast die young type you have to seriously consider that he may be using you for sex. If you're sure hes not then I don't see why a relationship wouldn't work.

I was the complete oppsite to my ex and we had a good relationship but having big differences can cause the relationship to break down which happened to me

Like the leap from "likes weed" to "may use you for sex". I know many very caring weedheads, and being one is any case is hardly a sign of a "live fast die young" lifestyle these days.
Talk to him about it if its an issue for you! Talking is the basis of any relationship! If you can't even talk to him about how you feel then there is no realy basis for a proper relationship anyway!

I like the way you use the term "weedhead" implying that everyone who smokes weed smokes all the time.

Give it a go with him if you think the two of you click!
I use "weedhead" also of my friend who is only an occasional user.

so many ppl i know smoke weed. and almost all of them are rearlly nice people. as long as he doesn't start dealing i don't think it should be a problem. don't make a decision that you would regret. its up to you to make your own mind up. do whatever you feel is right :smile: good luck!
