So this girl likes me and I think I might like her too. But people keep telling me that she is a (rhymed with shut), and that if I dated her I am desperate and pathetic. She seems nice to me, any advice?

What people say and what is the truth are usually two different things. I would go ahead and date her and find out for yourself. Good possibility that these people telling you these things are just jealous. What can it hurt to date her and get to know her some? Give it a shot. Nothing to lose either way!
