Is it a red flag if your friends don't like the person you are dating? (Page 2)

[Shiningtempest]

@coachTanthony If my friends don't like the woman I'm dating, I would break up with her because my friends know me well. :)

[FreyaRed]

No. Unless they know the person since childhood then I will consider their negative opinion as valid.

[rosemilk]

no. "doesn't like" is an opinion. did they even give legit reasons why? they probably didn't.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Not at all. They are great for giving advice, but not infallible. I'm good at listening to everyone, and then choose the best option!

[Wiredone]

It might be a yellow flag. It might make me think " what do they see that I don't "? I might have to look at the big picture from an outsiders point of view.

[Bricealan]

Tell 'em to fuck off if they don't like

[coachTanthony]

Wow what kind of friends do you have? lol

[Bricealan]

If someone expressed a dislike for my companion, I would tell 'em just that!
I had a girlfriend whose BFF did not approve of me,,,,, and she should have told her friend to go pound some sand... Later a friend of MINE did not approve of the same girlfriend I had, and I never repeated the negative comment to my girlfriend...

[coachTanthony]

This isn't about negative comments... and we aren't talking about "if someone" we are talking about your good close friends giving you feedback lol

[Bricealan]

They were close friends, and they did not approve of my girlfriend

[Bricealan]

The friend said she did not know why I was dating this particular girl. Said she was "ugly' but of course she WAS NOT ugly

[Somoneelse]

I don't see it as a redflag. But I would like to know why the friends doesn't like him/her. Maybe they see or hear things I don't know about.

[CheeseMonster]

I'd think so. Either about the person you're dating, or about your friends.

[bobby_bush_eater]

Not necessarily, there could be a lot of reasons and there's a lot of varying levels of friends

[Wien1938]

Years ago, I would have said "no" but I've seen too many instances of friends/family being proved right. I suspect it's intuition at play and it is far too easy to be blinded to your other half's faults.

[Cyrius]

Might be a red flage, but not the way you think: the friend might simply be jealous and feel attracted to the person you date. Especially if the friend constantly brings up his/her name for no reason

[OtterMan68]

yes, because we can be blinded by love and lust and not see things clearly.

[Starrrboy]

Yeah.. Let's be real, they're usually right!..

[Alex-Snow]

I would respect their opinions but make the decision myself.

[Dbtr99]

If they have legitimate reasons then yes.

[AngryCarl]

No, your friends are just jealous because you don't hang out with them any more.

[elizamichale1]

Only if they hav sum legit grounds

[nawtee_me]

Yes, it is a red flag against my so called friends…..

[msc545]

A major red flag.

[LiamJHayden]

Major if it's my closest ones.
