ive been talking with a guy for a little over 5 months. im definilty ready to date him but he says he won't date me becuase a few of his friends would diaprove because of the 2 years age difference. i think if he really likes me then hell date me anyway. i know i should probably give up on him but i like him a lot and we've gotten really close overtime. it would be hard to get over him because some of his friends are mine also. what should i do?
karenR answered Wednesday June 22 2005, 8:13 am: I think that his not dating you because of something his friends say is just an excuse. He is probably trying not to hurt your feelings. I think you should remain friends and find someone else to date. Maybe things will be different in the future. For now he is either making up excuses or is just to immature to do his own thinking. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Doesn't that show a HUGE sign of weak chaRacteR to you??? You'Re pRobably best off without him. But to get youR point acRoss, just ask him when he's going to stop living his life foR his fRiends. Hope eveRything woRks out!! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

Teza answered Tuesday June 21 2005, 10:18 am: If he liked you a whole lot he defenetlly wouldnt care about his friends being jerks! You never know if he will change his mind! Just tell him.. look I really like you and it seems like you like me too but I think its fucked up that you wont date me because of your friends! Who cares if its a 2 year difference.. thats nothing! If he still says he cant or whatever the last thing you could do it get over him or just continute being friends with him even tho you arent dating. I mean its not their lives and they shouldnt worry about you two. You both can date who ever you want to. ♥ // ex_oh [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

" i think if he really likes me then hell date me anyway. i know i should probably give up on him"
and your exactly right! He should WANt to date you if he liked you dispite what his friends say. Move on dear. You gave him 5 months to do something. Its time to find a real guy who will like you and date you because they like you and dont care what others have to say. And besides 2 years? its nothing now adays.
CASSi3 answered Tuesday June 21 2005, 3:11 am: your exactly right, if he liked you enough, he wouldnt care about his friends point of view. So, my dear, no matter how hard, i think you need to straight up tell him 'well, the hell with your friends, do you like me or not?' or get over him.
