So there is this girl at my school that I really like and I think she likes me. She is really cool and smart and pretty. She has a cute unique personality that I really dig. The problem is that my friends don't like her. They say I could do a lot better and she is unattractive. My group that I usally hang with is the popular group I suppose, and she doesn't fit in with these kids. I have some really close friends in this group but a lot of them I don't connect with in any meaningful way. I don't like label people and I hate the way people treat each other. To be honest I hate how a lot of my friends think they are so much better than other people. I am in my last semester of grade 12 and I can't wait until I'm done. My question is: do you think I should ignore my friends and go for this girl or should I just be hook up with people that I find shallow and I don't connect with?
so I've actually been pursued after high school by a couple of the same popular guys that didn't want anything to do with me in high school because I was the weird quirky girl. I had fun rejecting them If you reject her now she isn't going to forgive you when you graduate and suddenly don't care about things like popularity.
If you spend your whole life worrying about what others think of you, you're gonna spend your whole life miserable and being shit on
Thanks for the replies. I am going to ask her out tommorow. My good friends will understand and those who don't don't matter to me. I've just felt so isolated recently, my only friend who I could talk to about how I really feel about life got expelled recently. Its just so nice to talk to someone who understands my dissatisfaction with society and the status quo. Wish me luck
How can you 'do better' than what you like the most? Ask your friends how going out with girls you don't like and rejecting a girl you do is doing better.
I agree go pursue her if you indeed want to try for a relationship with her and get to know her. Your friends should support your pursuit of happiness, safety, and personal goals. To a point friends do have some say in maybe a piece of advice here and there if they think you are in an unhealthy relationship or in danger, but those are logically supported views. In your case, none of your friends have any real merit in the logic behind why you shouldn't pursue the girl you fancy right now, they're superficial. In short you're doing the right thing, ask her out. And find new friends while you're at it.
your friends might give you a little shit because that's what friends do, but if anyone seriously has a problem with it they are either jealous or retarded.
Congrats Wendigo: Life, high school, wherever, whenever is about choices that define who you are. sounds like you're bearing toward being a pretty down to earth guy best of luck
Success! :2thumbsup: I asked her if she wanted to watch a movie and jam on saturday. It was kinda awkward but she said yes.
