71. The way to the heart is through their friends

Here's a good one. I was at applebees having a drink or 8 and 2 patron shots when we began to talk about friends and relationships. We all have friends...for the most part...that we can go to and talk to about all the crap in our lives. WIth this said, consider when you go out with that new guy...or gal. YOu go out...then go report to your friends how s/he was...what they wore...where you went...how you felt...weird things about him/her...the size of their ...ego (that goes both ways on that one).

So then you start to get close to the lucky person and you bring them out to the friends to meet and judge them a bit...now lets just imagine that your one friend that is a total hater is not there...we all have them don't we? that one guy/girl that is just a total freakin hater in every sense of the word...hahah..

so where was I...oh yes! okay so you then bring them to meet the clan for the feast of the poor soul...

The question...Do your friends act as a good judge of character? one of the peeps at the playhouse told me that no....they do not. She felt that many of her friends were just completely haters and jealous. SHe would say that many times they were jealous of her finding a nice guy that it was hard for them to see anything else. There are many times when your friends meet your b/f / g/f and they can't stand them for some reason and they tell you to dump him/her. With all this being said, there are relationships still today where their friends hate the partner and think they could do better.

Now this is the hard part...people tend to be friends with one another because of connection. It goes to say that your friends are therefore a really good indicator of who you are as a whole. Espeically best friends. They know us well...so well that aren't they a good judge if someone will end up being a good match? Trust your friends opinion because they act as a personality indicator of yourself...that's how they can tell yoru mood...how they can read your mind at times...and how they can absolutely annoy you as well. but be cautious...sometimes you may find a partner that you truly feel close and connected to but your friends don't agree...this isn't bad...but take the time to figure out why they are not clicking.
