Cupids Dating Blog

The last gal I dated that was my age seemed really cool until I met her friends. I know, you're supposed to worry about charming your date's friends and trying to make a good impression. I guess I'm a bit of a jerk, but what are you supposed to say to a bunch of people that still reminisce, constantly, about the good-old days in high school to the point where they talk of nothing else?

I know that when old friends get together they talk about old times. I don't let go of my friendships easily and when I see people we always ended laughing about old stories. That said, it's not all we talk about, especially we're with people that aren't part of our old group. Sometimes we still tell the stories, but make sure to explain them to the new people.

That isn't even what really bothered me about this situation though. The thing about the friends of the girl I was dating is that they all seemed to have the same rivalries and jealousies they've had since they were young. They gossip about each other, talk about who is messing up whose relationship and, every time I was alone with one of them, I felt like they were tying to get me to pick a side. This was day one. I went downhill from there. I just don't understand people who act like that, what are you supposed to do? I, for one, can't live in a soap opera, it's way too stressful.

I tend to think that people are best judged be they company they keep. I'd be pretty proud to have my friends represent me and I don't really think it's possible to have a healthy relationship with someone whose friends are always stabbing each other in the back.

I'm a little worried that if I get involved with someone older than I am, she'll end up finding me immature, bit I think it's worth the risk, so from now on I'm going to start looking for a nice mature girl.
