    To all guys: Do you care about your friends opinion?

    I'll give you an example:

    You're going out with that nice girl, suddenly you're finding out that she was dating your friend and :
    a) that she treated him really rough
    or
    b) that she cared too much and become really obsessed about him

    whatever!

    What would you do? Would you listen to your friends telling you she will let you down eventually anyways or would you try?

    I've been in this situation before. I tried anyway. It didn't work out, but I didn't see anything in her like what I was told.

    That's what someone said about the girl i'm dating now. But I said f*ck it, and things have been great for the past 6 months. Who care's what other people thing. Maybe other people are dumbasses.

    I would never listen to my friends about that. Hell they are my friends I know better than to listen to them.

    I wouldn't pay any attention to what my friends said either. Most guys other than me, from what i've seen, wouldn't be stupid enough to follow what others say. As time goes on, younger people become a little wiser with each generation.

    You can't blame him if he thinks twice about it though, he's in a harder position than you'd think. But in the end, he shouldn't care what his friends think. I wouldn't either.
    The only mature way to use power, is to use it to serve those that are powerless.

    why would it matter in the first place if i were dating the nice girl then she starts to date my friend?? are you saying that she is cheating on me??

    well back to the friend's situation. i would tell my friend and he can take it however he wants to. he is a grown man and it's up to him to decide what he wants to do with his life.

    i meant she was dating him before , not at the same time

    how about if that's your close friend ? and he has actually been going out with her , so he rather knows what he's sayin and pretends to protect you from being hurt?

    or case b : protect you from being manipulated or .. completely bored and tired of her

    Just tell him you will take your chances. If he still doesnt shut up find him someone else... he needs to get laid.

    didnt want to confuse you... by sayin "you" i meant you, men!
    its not me having problems with my friends but its that guy i fancy and i assume that this kind of situation has occured.. i mean i dont know which case.. but talking in general just wanted to know what you men do and how do you interpretate best friends opinions...

    if everybody told you the girl is bitchy, boring etc. i really doubt you would go out with her in public

    tell me if im wrong

    I would never date someone who dated my friends.

    diesel.. i think that you shouldn't really have to worry. i would think that your friend is looking out for your best intesions. he's probably not trying to hurt your relationship, but being that he already got burned by this girl once before, he wouldn't want the same thing to happen to you. remember if you get burned, he will say that he told you so, but just tell him that you wanted to learn things the hard way. you never know, just take a chance.
