Dating Someone Your Friends or Family Hate

When it comes to dating it needs to be known that, as in the rest of your life, not all people can be pleased all the time. It is a fact of human nature and in order to be happy with your own love life than all outside influences need to be thrown aside and the individual heart and mind need to be followed. It really does not matter if your friends like the person that you have chosen to be with, and it does not matter if your family does not approve of your choice. Families that care about you, and true friends, will understand that your life is your life, and after stating their opinion on the situation, will step back and support the decision that you have made.

A good example of this would be a country song that I just heard the other day. A popular girl in high school refused to go out with a boy in her class because he was not popular, and was not at the same social status as she was. Karma always seems to catch up to people, though, and in this case it was no exception. Years down the road, the woman is a typical female of today and hears that the boy from her past is now a superstar and has more money than he knows what to do with. If the cheerleader would have followed her heart, and her mind, instead of following the wants of her friends, and of society as a whole, she would now be happy, wealthy, and actually living the life that she wanted.

People in today's society need to realize that what they do in their lives, and the choices that they make, are their own. Yes, it is true that outside advice is always taken into consideration when making any type of decision, but in the end it is you that has to live with the choices that you have made. If you want to be with someone because there is a connection, no matter what their status or looks are, then do it. Be a man, or a woman, and take responsibility for your own life. If your friends and family do not understand and refuse to be supportive, then turn your back on them and continue with your own, self-chosen life. Eventually, true friends and family members will understand and will accept the choices that you have made, even if they do not agree with them.
