Let's take this situation: You have a new boyfriend/girlfriend. He/She's nice but your friends didn't seem to like him/her. You really love your boy/girlfriend and you can't afford to lose him. But your friends didnt like him and they want another girl/guy for you. Who would you choose?

....but there is a slight problem between the two and you can't choose both at the same time. :(

If your friends are really your friends, then you shouldn't have to choose. If your boyfriend or girlfriend treats you well, then you should say to your friends that you accept they don't like them but that you value both your friendship and your romantic relationship. They don't have to like the person you are dating, just be respectful of your feelings. If your boyfriend or girlfriend isn't treating you well, and this is why your friends don't like them, then you should listen to your friends. If your friends do tell you that you HAVE to choose, then find some new friends. Real friends don't act like this.

I agree. I believe that friends are not there to dictate you on what you should do or not, they're just there to give us pieces of advice that they think will help us solve our problems.

I will choose friends , as they can always be depended on, unlike love as they have higher expectations

try to be open minded.. talk with your friends and try to find out the reasons why they dont like your guy and make them understand as well that you really love your bf..then assess.. but dont stop there.. try to work it out with your guy too.. you actually dont need to choose.. you dont actually have to lose either one of them.. proper communication will really help a lot.. and if your guy think and knew that you're havng a problem such as this, he should have at least make a move in advance to sort out things with your friends, anyway he's the one involved. if he's responsible enough, whether he's guilty or not of what is being negatively tagged to him, he should at least make a move to make others believe that he's worthy to have you.. anyway, you dont want to lose either one of them right? think wisely.. gudluck and take care! ;)

dear cheerldr you always in your life find choices.See you got to understand this either your boy friend or your girl friend they both have to understand you and know you so if they are your true friend they will never come in each others way.You just need to give them a talk.If you like him they will also like him but all they need is some time together

Chose your friends, especially if they have been around longer. Typically they just want the best for you that's all. Chances are, they can see something in him/her that you can't. People are blinded by love all too often. This is why we have friends, to judge for us when we can't see

woah..i am actually on the situation..at first my friend really liked my boyfriend but when we started to fight, suddenly my friends told me that im just wasting my time..i am surely hoping that they're not being biased with their opinions just because im their friend.. they're telling me to notice some other friend because they think i'll be happier with that friend..but you know what..i believe that if there's still love then all will work out just fine..fights are made to understand each other better..to make the relationship better..so i say stay with the lover and pray that it will last forever..^_^

First of all, try to think if your friends are right or wrong, dont make decision that would put urself in a critical condition, control your emotions, maybe your friends are right, dont blame with love, they are only after with ur good future, because true friends are those who always in your side to take what ever makes you happy, support you, guide you, and willing to share all the happiness in life. They dont like you to suffer in vain!!!!!!!!!!!.............

Lover....They will no longer have a choice later on but to accept him. If they will not, then they probably are not the kind of friends that I expect them to be....Friends are there for us whatever happens, right?...:-)

love makes us blind. friends and bfs comes and go. at the end of the day, what really matters is who you're with when you're down and who makes you happy.

if they are your true friends they should perhaps understand how you feel and the pressure that they are giving you.. i think if they are really concerned, they should not force you to do something but instead support you or give an advice to whatever you do. True friends wont leave you behind no matter what. ^^ so if they left you behind because of your new boyfriend, the earlier the better coz in that way you just found out how true they are to you.. hope this helps. cheers ^^

hey i would prefer a lover beacuse the love or understanding between lovers are more than freinds..i use to have a freind, she was my best freind and even she accepted me as her best freind. we were quite happy and use to share all type of talks. but as soon as she got a lover she started to be away from me and slowly slowly we left talking to each other. later i came to know that her BF said her not to talk. so my faith from freinds got over
