Question - (22 October 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 October 2009)
A female Russian Federation age 16-17, anonymous writes:

I started going out with this very kind, sweet, and funny guy since two days ago. He is very cute and he treats me like a princess and I know he will never hurt me.

However, and I am very bugged by this: The rest of my friends think he is weird. They look down upon us as a couple and they say that I could do a lot better. As much as I like him and as much as I've tried to block out their opinions and stupid remarks, I can't help but be just a bit influenced by their words. Sometimes this causes me to like him less. But I know that this is all because of outside influence and that I should ignore it because I REALLY like him, I just don't know how.

What do I do? This is keeping me from being fully into him. I'm repressing some feelings :/

Blod agony auntI don't know how much of a good idea this would be for you personally. But I think you should tell your friends how you feel. Let them know that you like him, regardless of what they think, and be honest with them. Have it out with them. It should get it off your chest and possibly help you see a little clearer as to what you really think.

You've said yourself though, if they weren't there you wouldn't have this influence that was making you see him differently. Let things develop naturally and see how things go.

In the end, it's your opinion that matters. YOU decide if you want to be with him and how you want your relationship to be.

Good Luck. X

Well you need to give him time. Of course, your friends could be right. But then again, they could be jealous. The best thing to do is really get to know your boyfriend and just see where it goes. If you're being influenced by your friends, then the relationship isn't strong enough and you should end it. Bit I'd say that you'd be better giving him time.
