I was wondering if any guys or girls here had that problem or have that problem? i cared too much in high school of what my friends thought so I only had one girlfriend and for only 1 month. And a lot of girls I rejected because of friends comments. I went on some dates but always with out them knowing. I think that has a lot to do with the way I date now. so do y'all thing that was a childish move and one shouldn't of cared?
Maybe in high school things are a little different and looking back there may have been a time or two that I wouldn't admit that I thought someone was cute because I was afraid of what my friends might think. But if I really liked a guy, that took precedent and I didn't really care what anyone else thought. So, my advice to you is to be true to you...if you like someone then you shouldn't care what your friends think.. did it ever occur to you that maybe they're just jealous because you're gettin all the good lookin chics? Anyway, if they're really good friends they'll accept whoever you choose. Start following your heart and keep your friends in check! You don't want to miss out on something special, do you?
A lot of people thought that my current boyfriend of 5 years wasn't good enough for me and I didn't listen. He is my best friend and I love him soo much. I'm glad that I didn't care what my friends thought he isn't a bad guy and they had no reason to think I shouldn't be with him. If you like the girl who care what your friends think they aren't the ones who are talking to her.
It shows that you're not secure enough to make decisions for yourself without thinking that people will disapprove of your decisions. The only way to become secure is to make your own decisions and stand by them.
If your friends judge who you're dating or treat you different for who you're dating,then they're not really your friends,is one thing to be honest and care about who your friend is dating,and another is to judge.
If you like someone, who has the right to keep you from that someone? I understand the whole "concerned friends" but if they're keeping you away from being happy and trying new things, than why would you listen? :]
You are the one dating the girl, not your friends. If they have a legitimate concern I would listen to them, considering the source. But if they're just saying stuff like she's not enough or something then you should ignore that. Also, it's not fair to the girl to sneak around because you're scared of what your friends might think. It is childish, but we all did childish stuff in high school.
I did once when I was in high school and have regretted it ever since. I often think about what an amazing woman she was and how stupid I was for listening to my friends. It is a regret that I carry with me to this day.
I did have that problem, but then I just said f*** it, it's my decision, it's entirely up to me what to do with my life, sometimes regret not listening to my friends, bcuz wat the said would happen did. but oh well, its in the past
I think it was childish. You have remember, they won't be the one waking up with that person in there face every morning.
You gotta do this for yourself! Its cool that you listen to others opinions, but YOU have to live your life. Are you waiting on them to choose the wrong girl so you can stop listening?
I've been in this situation before. Liked a girl. And she liked me to. But because another friend had his eye on her first. I wasn't allowed to pursue. In the end I did what I wanted. I meant no disrespect, but if they're your friends, they will respect your decision.
You have to be yourself with your friends. Your friends should respect your do's and don'ts. Thats why you call them "your friends".
So make yourself happy in this situation. Good Luck
Seems like over the years, I have watched too many people get involved with the worst possible partner ever. I and others would tell my these guys that the women they are with is evil and to break off all contact with her. The results: you guessed, marriage with kids and a living hell to go with it. Way too many times. Therefore, I do my best to obtain information from other people about a particular woman before I have any serious relations with her. I am too old to deal with drama. My sister is a very good judge of character. If he voices her displeasure about a woman(which she will), then there's a problem.
Listen to your friends and not with your genitalia. Those sometimes there are exceptions.
