Question Posted Thursday August 5 2004, 11:54 am

This guy and I just started going out. We go to the same school so I get to see him every day, but on weekends he's always with his friends. The thing is, I don't really want to hang out with them. I've only met a couple of them and I didn't like them very much...plus I've heard from him that they like getting high(not necessarily him) and I'm really not into that. How am I going to tell him that I don't want to go places when it's him *and* his friends? I mean I could give it a try but if I don't feel comfortable I won't know how to tell him that, since, you know, he likes them a lot(duh). Anyway, I just wanted your opinion. Thanks!

Yeah,this is indeed a problem. By the way,I appreciate that you typed correctly and made this very easy to read. On one hand,if you try and tell him who to hang out with,he's going to think you're controlling. On the other,if he likes you,he's going to see your point about not wanting to hang out with druggies. What I'd do is I 'd say " Babe,it's not that I don't like hanging out with your friends,but I'm not into weed and drugs like they are. It makes me feel so uncomfortable when they do that. If they're going to do things like that,I'd rather not be around." If he's doing it too,you can tactfully tell him what he's doing is harming him,you really care about him,and you don't want to see him hurt himself. Mary Jane is a gateway drug you know.
