Why would you ignore your friends warning you about dating a particular person?

Why would you not trust people you call friends that are warning you about dating someone they feel is not good for you?

When the rose-colored glasses are on -- and now we can joke about rose-colored VR goggles -- it's hard to see the flaws that your friends are seeing. For example, an ldr I was in earned me some flack from friends and I ignored it, choosing to see the positives in the person of interest, however in truth... they were right about the guy.

Another thing to consider is that not all friends are created equal -- some friends are not dissuading you because they see your value, but rather because of some motive of their own. (For example, the guy friend who dissuades because HE is interested, or the girl friend who dissuades because she wants you to stay single as she is (to have someone to commiserate with when everyone else is out and dating).)

There's more, but you get the idea. Either the friend's words are falling on deaf ears or the friend's motivation leaves something to be desired so their warnings are ignored.

Just because friends dish out advice, doesn’t mean you have to take it. And not taking it could be for better or for worse

People invariably rationalize when they have made a decision. It's like trying to convince someone to be a different religion. They maybe your friends but you tend to focus on the things he or she does that proves them wrong and you right. Instinctually forgetting or minimizing the obvious signs that your friends can see. Some mistakes you have to do for yourself. Confirmation bias is strong in the force and Jedi mind tricks us. Only hindsight will help

Probably because I wouldn't trust their judgement on this topic

Women friends, because they would base the decision on whether she liked her or not not whether she was a good match for me. Guy friends, they either wouldn't care or they would be jealous and tell me, "I f***ed her already" to try to discourage me.😆

If I don't see it myself I would need to find that out for myself. Sometimes you need the realization for yourself. Makes it easier instead of wondering what is right or not.

I did and that was a mistake. didn't know what I didn't know.

I moved on and married now, but it was a lot of pain and suffering and I was really stupid. I learned alittle.

Really depends on the friend though like if I know she has a crush on him it might just be her trying to break up up so she can move in.

You would ignore them because at the end of the day that decision is up to you not them is he/she treating you well or not taking care of you or not etc. That is up to you and you only. You'll be waking up next to them not your friend.

It never happened to me but I would probably ignore them.

[DaddyDiablo]

cuz who would know my significant other; other then me? Tf ☠️☠️☠️

[nawtee_me]

Because they may have their own personal motives for saying that. You don’t believe everything that you hear, do you?

[LiamJHayden]

No, because I know my friends look out for me.

[LiamJHayden]

No, I wouldn't.

[Radiate143]

People do what they want.

[Sweety_Torneeya]

Because you are obsessed its not in your will

[In_Trance]

Probably because you're starving for some dick

Love is blind.
