My friends tell me I should just "settle" for any girl?

[Anonymous]

Before anyone says anything I'm not bragging. I have a problem and I need advice.

I was having a discussion with my friends earlier about getting into relationships and they all agreed that I should just settle for anyone who likes me, even if I don't like them back. They said it's because most girls think I'm a player, even though I'm a really nice guy at heart but I can't really change who I am. I asked them why and they said I look like someone who could be on jersey shore (-.-) because I'm tall (6'4), tan, and lifted weights since I was 15 and I'm 19 now but I only lifted for sports because I was going to play college basketball or football but that didn't work so well.

I have morals, going to college, come from a really good family, and never actually had a girlfriend and they said I might as well try to just get someone "average" because most people are already in relationships and ill be old and left out eventually. What do I do? Should I just be with someone even if I don't like them as much as they like them? Will my feeling eventually change on how much I like them?

Idk what to do.

I think what you need to do is realize that what other people say should not define you. You just said that you have good morals, go to college and come from a good family. You have a lot of things going for you and you should focus on that. Who cares if other people think you are a player, those people are being closed minded!

What I would do is focus on being happy with yourself. Go out, hang out with friends, only get into a relationship if you want to be in one.

I've realized something in life: People are going to have an opinion on everything you do, no matter what you do. So stop trying to please everyone. People say bad things about me all the time. But I am a great person. I am friendly, bubbly and nice to everyone unless they give me a reason not to (which rarely happens) and even then I still remain professional and respectful. But despite that there are always going to be people who have negative things to say.

Don't let what they say get to you. Try to keep your head up and keep being yourself!

ahahahhahaha. I mean...aww =P You can change who you are. Everyone changes eventually unless they are really that stubborn or never grew in any way and that's not always a good thing. If you're casually dating then it's w.e. really...but you shouldn't really settle. You're not going to be happy and if you're not happy you're not really going to be trying to make that relationship work. You are also not being honest with that person about how you feel. You could change on how much you like them...but why go through that? I think you should find someone who you like and hopefully they will feel the same. If you are a player and you are trying to change then I'd just explain to them that's the case and maybe they'd be willing to give you a chance. hope it helps. =)

Don't go into a relationship with someone who you don't like just cause your friends tell you to...
