Dating is a game till you find someone that just blows you away....First or second opinions rarely matter , if you stick to your game plan....it could work without opinions from best friends/family etc.....But if you are blindsided...out of the blue kinda struck, no opinions are gonna matter....just saying....

I've never relied on the opinions of anyone else when it comes to anything as personal as dating or relationships. Even a best friend may not have your best interests at heart in those situations. I trust my own judgement.

Actually I do get this and I have a few close friends that I value their opinions. We do call each other or have a night over hot wings to bounce things off each other.
I take what they have to say and I evaluate things for myself.

I get the why's of you doing this and I would have to say tread very very carefully.

If you ask her to check out this guy..
Because she cares for you...She is gonna to exactly that. And Lord help the guy each and everything she finds wrong will be magnified because she will want to help.

I think a better option might be to include whomever you are dating to include group activities. Etc..

And the other thing why wouldn't she tell you a head of time that GF... He had better be great in bed because out of it he is a ... fill in the blanks.

I have done that with GF's before and let them decide...


But seeking someone's approval not really nice to have but not something I have to have because at the end of the day I am the one having to live with myself and my choices...

Welcome back good to see you

Should we send our applications to your friend for approval?

Then hope for a second interview? :tongue:

I'm curious, your friend is in a successful loving relationship herself right? laugh

I value my friends and I listened to their advices, but when it comes to my feelings. I make sure I decide on my own. No matter what it takes, I'll face the consequences.

.. I am my own best friend..

But sometimes when I stand in front of a mirror and look at my behind..
And ask myself do you think these jeans.. make my *** look big?..
And the reply is no !!not at all..
And then I hear myself laughing giggling to myself..
Well then I just don't know! If I can trust that kind of advice..lol

I honestly feel sorry for those of you who don't have someone in your life that you trust and respect enough to value their opinion. Her friendship means the world to me and I can't imagine not having her around for life.

Now for the 37th time, I never said I needed someone to make a decision for me. So just chill with that **** people.

Honestly though she's really not like that. It's not like she's going to expect him to pass some test. What I've asked of her is to just meet them early on. If she doesn't meet them until after I'm already attached she won't interfere.

Exactly, thank you for taking the time to understand what I'm saying and not just making a blanket statement about what you think I'm saying.... it's appreciated.

Only problem with that is, she will be looking..
for something wrong.

There is always going to be something..somewhere
if y'all look hard and long enough.

Then, does he need to please her too?
Or will you be displeased if he does not try?
I am exhausted already thinking of the ramifications.

Just run him through a TSA screening at the airport.
Their findings are usually concrete.



Sounds like a plan! I been through that in February... they even asked me why I was unemployed. I wanted to tell the tosser that was none of his bleeping business, but yeah, I doubt that would've gone down well, haha.

So yeah, anyone who's been TSA-ed should be good to go!
