i am confused because my frends dont like the person who is courting me. i do have feelings for that person but im not sure if ill say yes or no because i thought of the fact that my frends dont like him for me. its not that he is a bad person, but because he didnt come from my circle of friends thats why my frends still dont know hm that much. im afraid to answer hm my 'yes' because wat f my frends will disregard me because of that. what shud b the best thng to be done?

You can not live your life for your friends. They are not your parents and they do not get to choose what is good or not for you. Even if you may be making a mistake with this person whom you like it is your right to do so. On the other hand, it is possible that your friends could have legitimate complaints so you need to make a list of all the things that they feel are wrong with this person and ask yourself if the things are really true. Also, ask yourself if these things are important. If this person is thought to be rude that is not good. If this person is thought to be a nerd that is a stupid reason not to go out with them. Ultimately you have to think about what you want in a partner and if this person who is courting you has special qualities that no one else sees you owe it to yourself and to that person to get to know him before you make a judgement based on your friends.

What is more important having friends who don't support and respect your choice or being happy with someone you love? Friends come and go; you can't live your life for other people's approval.
