Is it importantthat your friends like your girlfriend/boyfriend?

While this is the ideal situation, it seems that friends often do not care for the person that you happen to be seeing. I don't know how you make the choice between your friends and your new romantic interest. I think that this is a personal choice that each person has to make. The best situation would be to try to get everybody to work it out though and be friends.

hi! nice topic. i just know the boyfriend of my friends by their name, but their faces, nah,, i didn't met them. but me, i used to let them know my bf. because for me,it is another way of knowing him, we even go out with my friends, at least they can tell me their observations about him.

Your friends' approval or disapproval is quite important because we don't always make the best choices for ourselves. If your friends seem to be guarded or unsure (or even outright disapproving) of your girlfriend or boyfriend, try to get them on their own and ask them why: what it is that they dislike about your friend. Some people are merely jealous and some friendship groups find it difficult and feel 'let down' when one of their number begins to spend more time with someone else. If that is the reason, then perhaps your friendship group is being too controlling and you are better off without it, on the other hand, some of your friends may have seen something in your new friend which you haven't and which they genuinely feel uncomfortable about. Take your friends' opinions seriously, of course, but they are not the only judges and not necessarily the best judges of what is best for you - though they are likely to be seeing through less rose-tinted glasses than you!

In my opinion friends should have nothing to do with my relationship,and when I meet them I don't discuss my personal life.I like people who respect my privacy;if I want some advice and tell them something about my personal life,that's a different story,but anyway I really don't think it's important for friends to approve a relationship.

Absolutely!! Unless you have a friend no one likes and they can't get along with anyone, then that would be an exception. Otherwise most friends will try very hard to like the person you like out just out of respect for you. When they just can't, I’d talk to my friends and ask and then determine if they are right or wrong. It’s easy to be all infatuated with someone and overlook soe faults. As they say..Love is blind.

Im thinking, YES. haha! cos at the end of the day, your friends will always be one of your BEST support system when things go wrong or during conflicts.

Maybe yes, that would also be of great advantage in choosing your lover. As long as your friends really care a lot for you, then that would be great. Friends are very helpful especially if you want a second opinion. You can ask their views about certain topics or situations that you need advice. Personally, I think friends are very helpful but you should also consider the fact that they also have their own taste, so it is really up to you if you would consider their advice in choosing your lover. Happy mylotting!

I do think its important, its not always essential depending on the situation, but i think girls like it when their partners impresses their friends and even makes them a little envious. I wouldn't break up with someone because my friends stoped liking them, but there is usually a good reason if none of your friends like your partner because they think they are bad for you then they are most likely right.

To my opinion, It it is good if our friends like our girl friend or boy friend so that we all be happy. There will no more pressure to overcome. But it is not really necessary that your will reject your boy friend or girl friend because your friend don't like them. If for example your friend don't like your girl friend/boyfriend, just dob;t be bother about it. If you know very well, that you girl or boy is your ideal one and that you are happy with each other? who cares. Ignore the comments of your friends against the love of your life.

i don't think your lover needs the approval of your friends. these two relationships are different. it is not fair that if they see he is not fit to be your partner without a valid reason, you have to follow them. follow your heart instead.

If you have trusted friends its good to listen to there opinion about your lover,on the other hand you should also consider your interests yo should have the final say in the issue.

I don't think that your friends must like your girlfriend/boyfriend.What is important is that u like and love the person you are going with.Your friends can give us some idea,advise and can give some opinion on what is our boyfriend/girlfriend so we must introduce our friends to the person we are going with.The information that our friends that had given to us.Help us to decide what is best for us whether to go on to the relationship or not.It is still our decision and what we really felt for that person really do matter as well.

For me is very important that my friends approve my boyfriend because I hang out a lot with them and the best thing is to be able to hang out with your friends and also your boyfriend. Also if they don't accept him, maybe there's something that I'm not seeing because they won't do that for no good reason.
