You really have to be judicious when approaching the dating scene. It’s fine to consult and ask friends for advice, but don’t take advice from someone who’s decisions/values/beliefs/morals don’t align with yours. Don’t let the clingy friend give you advice, don’t let the cynical friend brainwash you, don’t let the impatient friend convince you of something you don’t believe. Sure, at any one given time, one of them may be right, but what do you think? How do you feel? You are not your friends.
