hug with, take somewhere in order to keep yourself from seeming like a loner? If your answer to this question is or even sounds anything remotely like the aforementioned reasons, then I beg you to reconsider your choices. The Bible calls us to remain pure, (1 Thessalonians 4:3),and your intentions should be pure also.
Lastly, a bit of advice- if you do say yes, make sure you know your boundaries (how far would you go physically without nearing temptation? Holding hands? Hugging? Kissing?) and that you can stand strong for them to protect yourself and your purity, and if you say no, to let him down gently (but be firm about it). Above all, however, I would suggest you pray about it, and let God guide you on the path of His will. I'll be praying for you two!
Best wishes and blessings,
