Friends with nothing in common?

Okay, first of all - no offense, but you're 16. Your friends don't matter. I'll explain.

In school, kids are like cattle. They move, think, and act in herds. See, kids can befriend someone based on almost NOTHING. The only thing most of 'em have in common is the fact that they both go to the same school, and MAYBE they both had the same brand of jeans on. Or maybe they were listening to the same crap for music. Or they were assigned to seats next to each other. You get the point. A person can gain an entirely different group of friends just by meeting the friends of his friend.

At this point in your life, most of your friends are like fake jewelry -- meant to provide menial comfort, primarily intended for aesthetic purposes. Image. You wear what you feel represents you. Easily discarded if you find something better, or simply grow tired of it. Your girlfriend, too, is just like your friends. Well, I'm guessing. I do realize that SOME people have meaningful relationships at your age, but not many. You probably have a girlfriend simply because it's cool to have a girlfriend.

Anyway, as I often do I've gone into multiple tangents - my original point was supposed to be that your friends aren't that important when it comes to determining who you are as a person. Your girlfriend should know that. It shouldn't matter how much you do or don't have in common with them. Also, she should not expect to get along with them -- they're YOUR friends, not hers. She's dating you, not them.

My advice? Try more solo dates. Don't weigh your girlfriend against your friends, either. When your relationship with your girlfriend ends, you'll be left without either of 'em. Realize that it's probably a temporary situation, and that like most high school students, you'll break up with her, get back with her, break up with her, get back with her, break up with her, get back with her, then finally cheat on her with some other girl who you'll start dating, only to repeat the process yet again.

If you get along with them what's the problem? I think a relationship (like a couple relationship) works better when the people are different. Why woudl you wanan date smeone just like you? You wouldn't learn anything new or experience new things. I think with friends though you need to have a little more in common. You need sometihng to be able to bond over, which is why yu usually become riends. But if you are completely different than that's ine too because like with the relationships, you learn new things.
