I Like a Girl That My Friends Don't Like - What Should I Do?

[Phofhymbofe]

So this girl likes me (so I hear), and I think I'm starting to fall for her. I might want to pursue something with her, but all my friends think she is annoying. She tends to talk a lot, but in a way, I kind of like that because I am on the quiet side, so it seems to work out. We have a lot in common, she is smart, she can make me laugh, and when we are alone, we talk about some pretty intimate things (family, life etc) which is normally hard for me to do with most people...I dunno...I just like the girl. It just feels so weird to have all your friends bad mouthing her though (they don't really know that I'm into her). What would you guys do?

Who's dating her? You, or your friends?

If you really feel a connection with this girl, go for it. Your friends may get to know her better and like her more.

And even if they don't, and down the road you really, really feel that this is a big issue, then you can decide what to do from there. But to not try, and miss out on something that could be the best thing to ever happen to you becuase you were worried your friends wouldn't approve...in my book, that'd be regret, with a capital R.

As much as i hate to admit it, what my friends think about a person I'm with or thinking about getting together makes a big difference. I'm talking about my really close friends who i've known for a long time. It's not a matter of worrying that my friends will think less of me. It's that they usually end up knowing who's gonna be good for me, and who isn't. I've dated people who my friends haven't really approved of, and although they've been as supportive as possible, they always end up being right. It's not even the power of suggestion that gets me in the end, it's all the things that i've been concerned about in the beginning, but chose to ignore because i really wanted to try something out/making something work. The way that i would approach it (although i'm single so maybe that's indicative of who's adive you SHOULDN'T take) is if i wanted to casually date the person, i would, but i wouldn't get too involved, and i'd sorta test the waters. If she turns out to be great, then take it a little further. But as far as my experience goes, my friends are the ones who are able to think with their brains on this issue, while all my blood is rushing elsewhere, thus rendering me a walking hormone and getting myself into trouble that is a pain in the ass to get out of later.

my advice, u know ur friends. and u prolly have friends whose opinions u will trust more than others. i know my buddies that were given me shit knew that me and the chick werent right for eachother, they just did it in a kidding / nudge nudge kind of way. now if u think that u and her share something that they cant really see, then thats another matter and then its a judgement call. but u never really get laid til u fuck around a little first so do what u want and make sure ur set one way or the other.

and as a future sidenote, if u guys get serious and ur friends still give u lip then they arent really good friends to begin with because even with if they go bros before hoes, they should still be ur bro before anything else..

good luck.. chicks rule til they fuck with ur head =) pardon the pun
