Q: Hello, my name's Brent, and I'm 20. I'm in a bit of a pickle with my girl friend's best friend. She doesn't like me. At all. And I don't get why! Anyway, if it's real love, it shouldn't matter what anyone thinks about it, right? But... I can't stop thinking about it! I REALLY want her BFF's approval. Why is that? Why do I care? It shouldn't matter, yet I keep sucking up to her, like laughing at her jokes, opening doors for her, etc. Now keep in mind, I DO NOT love the BFF in the slightest. But I like her as a person, and I DESPERATELY want her approval. So, my question, why do I want her approval so badly? Thanks folks!

There's a very good reason to want your girlfriend's best friend's approval. That girl is going to be one of the biggest voices in your girlfriend's ear, and you want to make sure that you're on her good side.
Let's say that your girlfriend is having doubts, as we all do in relationships from time to time. If her friend likes you, she's more likely to say "Stay with him, you idiot!" If she doesn't, she's more likely to persuade your girlfriend to ditch you. A best friend is the first person we go to with problems and the first person we listen to for advice. You don't want to mess this up.
Keep being nice. Don't be overly fake about it, but treat her well, and most importantly of all treat your girlfriend well! If you are a good guy, her friend will have no choice but to warm up to you.

My Personal Forum
My name is Amanda and I'm 26 years old. I'm currently studying electrical engineering. Armed with a fairly odd sense of humour and a sunny outlook on life, I'll take on just about anything. I'm also cussedly stubborn, which has its ups and downs. Things get tough sometimes, and I've never been one to run from it.
In my last 8 years with Advicenators, I've gone from honours student to failing out of university (and getting back on top again!), from single to married, from tenant to homeowner.
Until lately, I have been struggling with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder and OCD, which had basically ruined my life and taken just about everything from me. I'm thankful every day for every experience I've had because of this ordeal, because it's helped to make me who I am today. Things like that really make you appreciate what you do have. Now that I'm back in work and school and starting to become myself again, I couldn't be happier. I credit Advicenators with saving my life back when I was a teenager, which is a big part of why I'm still here.
I won't necessarily give you the answers you want to hear, but I'll always be honest and do my best to help.
