Hey you peeps,wuss up?waving drinker This question is for both men and women,but mostly for the women,tell me,say you like /love this guy/girl,alot right,but your friend /friends don't approve of it,do you listen to your friends,or do you actually have a mind of your own?Do you cater to what makes your friends happy,or do you have them respect YOUR wishes? Do have THEM,decide who's right or not right for you,or do YOU make that decision? Me,NOBODY decides for me,period,friends nor family! I'm sure interracial dating would come up in some your responses,but I feel that's another topic by itself,but I'm talking about just "friends approval" in general!!Lets chat!!drinks drinker

Rule #1. My friends have no say in who I date, or have a relationship with.

Rule #2. The woman I date, or have a relationship with, has no say in who my friends are, or will be.

I can be stubborn so I wouldn't listen anyway.

It used to say that a lot on my school reports 'must pay more attention'

Friends approval can be good and bad....
however sometimes friends can be jealous and may say something negative about the person you are interested in just coz they don't want to see you with that person....not for your benefit but their personal selfish issues....I've seen this a lot where the friends would disapprove of someone mainly coz of jealousy & its common amongst women...'' Hey did you know this guy is so and so''....''oh did you know this about him'.....''oh how do you know you're the only one''....and all sorts of s h I t I seen it all.....
As for me nobody decides for me....

While I may hear out what my friends or family have to say I make my own decisions. That said I no longer live around any family and rarely introduce a guy I'm seeing to friends until it's become serious. By then, it's too late. Lol

I don't look to friends for approval of any of my actions. we all have choices and we're the ones who ultimately have to live with the outcome. whether it's positive or one of life's lessons.

however, if a friend I trust gives me a valid reason to consider then I will take that advice into account.
sometimes we are so enthralled by a new relationship that we don't see everything except the ideal.
in the end, the choice is my own. if it's good, those who are my friends will celebrate. if I fall on my face, my friends will be there through my misery

i'll listen to what my friends have to say, then make my own judgement... they might see something i don't...

Everyone above has said something, if not all completely, what my opinion is. No I do not let anyone else "approve" of my choices. Like some others have said, I will listen to others' concerns or views, but I do NOT seek anyones' approval.bigsmile

Gosh that is SO true! Esp the remote area I live in, only some 45,000 ppl on the island and peninsula, so everyone knows everyone and it always makes me feel that everyone did someone else at some point in their life. So finding a partner here... must be at least 1 of my friends saying "Oh, he did me when I was 16/20/34" Great prospect!! And indeed the "Did you know this!" Ewww..

I decide for myself. Been there before and I did listen to my friends and family's objections, but did what I felt was right. In that particular case they turned out to be right, not me. But I prefer to learn and find out by myself.

I used to be very sensitive for my dad's opinion, but he doesn't approve of any man for his little girl, lol. Quite endearing, although it does make his opinion rather useless. :tongue:

This is what I'm dreading, my Daughter bringing a guy to meet me.
He better be ok or he'll be getting a kick up the azz and sent packing.
