Friends are forever boyfriends come and go. Let him know y;all are a package deal and if he chooses you he chooses your friends to. [ Allie1's advice column | Ask Allie1 A Question ]
frenchy answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 8:43 pm: hey. i think you're not the only one who's been in a similar situation. but this you have to figure out on your own. would you rather date a guy who likes you but not enough to like your friends, or would you rather stick with your friends who know you. i mean, i'm not trying to tell you what to do, but dont your friends kinda reflect who you are and what you like in a person? not for a relationship, but for a friendship. the thing is that if you do choose to go out with him, i dont think you'll be able to not hang with your friends. maybe try to find a compromise for this, or maybe talk it out. i duno. it depends on what kind of people they all are.
peace and love [ frenchy's advice column | Ask frenchy A Question ]

sublime_burritos answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 6:05 pm: you should talk to him about why he hates them, maybe your friends and el lover can work out their differences. if not, you should decide whether this guy is worth having to juggle between him and his friends, and your friends who don't get along with him. if he is worth it, let him know that, and try to work something out. you sound like you like him a LOT, so if he's that great of a guy, he should be understanding towards you, and willing to talk to you about the situation with your friends.

gsngirl7 answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 6:00 pm: I think you should go out with the guy. As far as the problem with your friends, you are going out with him, not your friends. Set some time aside for your friends and your boyfriend. Make them all know that even though you want to hang out with them, it's also important for you to hang out with your boyfriend (and vice versa) too. Hope my advice helps!

cayla3 answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 5:57 pm: just remember who is more important him or your friends. If it is your friends that are more important then just tell him if he can't hang out with you and your friends then you can't hang out with him! [ cayla3's advice column | Ask cayla3 A Question ]
cartmanistic answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 5:55 pm: There is NO GUY worth laeving all your friends for. They probably think the same thing. I WOULD NEVER stop hanging out with my friends if my boyfriend told me to. Just dont have your friends around him, and dont have him around your friends. Divivde up the time evenly, half with your friends, and half with the guy. (Remember: Friends are Forever, Guys are just Whenever) <3 aLySsA

Siren_Cytherea answered Wednesday January 19 2005, 5:52 pm: It's not right to make you choose between him and your friends, and he needs to know that. You don't have to choose, you need to tell him he needs to be tolerant of your friends. You'd have to hang out with his too, and point that out to him. You can let him know what you're thinking without being a bitch about it. Just gently tell him that you don't feel it's right to choose between him and your friends. Try to make it sound more like this is what you're feeling, or this is what's happening. Not "this is what you're making me do" because that could lead to a fight. Try not to use the word "you" in a sentence. Even for the one I suggested: "I've been thinking about this, and I really don't feel that it's right for me to choose between a guy I like and my friends..."
Then again - you may not have to deal with that, if you just decide to hang out with your friends when you're not hanging out with him. That could get awkward, though. I really suggest talking out your feelings with him. It might help you two compromise. I hope this helps, and I hope you get it worked out!
