Sick of opinionated people

Why is it you get friends who are so judgmental?

Like when i meet a girl and consider going further than friends, im always afraid what my friends will think, or more importantly say.

They always have this attitude, like 'theyre not good enough for you' or 'theyre not good looking enough'
Ive got to the point where im terrified to introduce a girl to them, cos im worried what they'll say.
Should i care?

It makes me worry that im worrying because i dont like the girl enough, but i was so sure i did!

Well if i think shes good enough, i know thats all that matters! But what do you do about people who express such unfair opinions cos they have such stupidly pompous high standards.

Maybe my friends are all shallow ****s?
Should i just ditch them or confront them?

Seems like you have some idiotic friends who are shallow, yes. You shouldn't care what they think. I'd confront them. If they don't change their attitude, I'd ditch them.

Does it even matter what they think? If you like her then go for it.

Well i respect them as friends and friends usually accept each others advice and opinions.

But in this case . . .
Why do you care so much what they think? It's your love-life, so you're the only one who should care about the girl in question. The fact that you're so worried about what your friends think is really not cool, since it seems like you're embarrassed about the girl in question, which would put you off her as you're always worrying what your friends will think. Ignore what they say and get on with it - if you like a girl, then go out with her and be contented in yourself that you've made the right decision.

you clearly wouldn't confront them as you dont even have the balls to type on an internet forum without being anonymous.

And to the original poster, maybe your mates are just looking out for you and dont want to see you with some munter

Thats the main thing thats worrying me :frown:

But if i was so sure i liked her before, does this mean im now having doubts. Or am i being influenced by some kind of peer pressure from friends?

I think if they say anything i might just tell them to f*** off. Shes worth that. If they decide they dont wana be a friend anymore, tough luck to them. But if they really respect me they'll realise how much theyve pushed me and apologise right?
It all seems a shame tho. I've known mosta these guys for years.

They're not going to stop being friends with you just because you start going out with some girl that they don't like - they're your friends and they'll adjust and come to terms with it.

You're being far too easily influenced by your friends - just get on with it, and ignore what they say about her - if you like her, then that's all that matters (well, obviously she has to like you too), so stop being such a big wuss about this and succumbing to what your friends think.

maybe that's it then, just tell your mates that you like her so stop being ***** about it. definitley no need to stop being mates with them just because they have opinions on her.

Yeah she does like me - sorry for bein a bit stupid Really i should have no doubt whats more important i just get a bit lost sometimes. And thanks

Yeah will do. Cant see them saying anything else if i stand my ground a bit more :p: Thanks
Ignore them. Or better yet, tell then to f**k off unless they are going to get a life and be supportive.

Mates are there to give you a hard time and make sure you have someone you deserve. You just need to put them in their place occasionaly.
I've had that experience where all my friends gave me hell and that pretty much settled things between me and that girl...where nothing happened and she got with some other guy. Don't ever listen to your friends when it comes to these things. They will eventually have to accept it.
Ignore them.follow what your heart says.

It's a cliche, but it's what I think you should do.
