I find that family and friends are very judgemental of my new relationship as well.
I would like to think its because they are worried I am jumping into something too quickly...however I know that for my friends its much more shallow. They feel that I missed out on "playing the field"...not quite sure why they think that dating a bunch of random dudes is cool???
I have to keep reminding them that the first 3 guys that I went on dates with were terminally flawed. All my age yet 2 were living with their Mother and one revealed on the first date that he was a high school drop out...
So if you find someone worth while and you click...everyone else be damned. Give it your all
