Dating Tips: 8 Friends Who Are Bad News for Your Relationship



  1. The ‘I don’t want you to go through what I went through’ friend: Don’t get us wrong, these are well meaning friends in essence, but their over-protective nature can sometimes prove bad for your love life.
  2. The ‘You can do much better’ friend: This friend means well but do you often find yourself in situations where you like a guy but your friend finds him obnoxious or a bad choice? We tend to get influenced by our friends but at times it’s best to make our own choices.
  3. The ‘You don’t have time for me’ friend: There are friends and then there some who constantly crave all your attention. Your friend coming along for your movie date might seem like a good idea to you but your guy might not be too happy about it.
  4. The ‘There is nothing wrong in cheating’ friend: Does your friend encourage you to get into relationships despite having a long-standing boyfriend? These friends might scoff at your ‘age old’ ideas of fidelity but you need to take a stand and ask your friend to back off.
  5. The ‘I will flirt with your guy’ friend: These are complete bad news friends. If you find your friend continuously putting you down, chatting with your guy and meeting him when you are not around, there is a good chance she is aiming to get you out of the picture.
  6. The ‘I won’t speak to your guy as he isn’t good enough’ friend: Does your friend ignore your man and keep you engrossed in another conversation each time you guys are out together? Well, you need to have a talk with that friend real quick if you want the relationship to sustain.
  7. The ‘I have feelings for you’ friend: Do any of your guy friends flirt with you when you are out with your date? You might want to address the issue soon. A guy flirting with his girl will only make your date uncomfortable and unsure about the relationship.
  8. The ‘Tell me everything about your relationship’ friend: We all love to confide in our friends but there are some things that are best kept between the two of you. If you have a friend who constantly wants to know everything or if she is mentioning those details in front of your guy, it’s definitely time to do a re-check.
