advice
17/f.
i'm dating this one guy, who well. isn't captain of the football team or whatever, he isn't cool, but hes so nice & i like him a lot. I've never liked jocky/popular boys like my friends have. I just like sweet nice guys, who are into music & stuff. Well, my friends are ggetting so annoying about it! I never bring him up, because they will just be rude. They'll be like "why are you dating him, he is so weird", "you could do better" & so on. its just little remarks any chance they get to say it. & i really don't appreciate it! i like him, and their opinions really won't change it. but its just getting to the point of unbearable to deal with. i tell them to stop, and they won't. i can't stop being friends with them, because it is my whole group of friends, and that's all i really have for friends. so yeah.. how can i get through to them to tell them to stop?
hey, i'm 17 and a girl in high school that delt with your exact same problem when i first started dating the guy i'm with
hes a jock, and is cute and "crushed on" by alot of girls, but in the mornings, before school starts he likes to go into the library to hang out with his friends, well whe my friends found out that he wasn't with me because he was in the library they instantly started making fun of him and it used to piss me off to no end. i tried telling them to stop and it didn't work.
eventually i just started ignoring it and it eventually stopped. they do it to get a rise out of you and to get a reaction, as soon as you stop giving them a reaction, they'll stop doing it. just like an annoying little brother
the question you have to ask yourself is if this guy is worth going through this. i lost a really close friend because she told me it was either him or me because she didn't like him and i told her that i love her to death but that i'd fallen for my boyfriend so me and her didn't talk for a really long time. if you think this guy is worth it then like you said it doesn't matter what anyone else says. Just keep your head up and remember that the only opinion that REALLY matters.. is your own :)
