-- Posted by Anonymous at 12:38 pm on July 5, 2009 i've been going out with this girl for almost 2 months, and whenever we're together alone or with her friends, i have no problem holding hands with her or other 'couple' stuff.. but when she's with me and my friends, i can't hold hands with her or anything cause it just feels too weird to do around my friends.. she's my first girlfriend so they're all used to seeing me single, and i end up treating her more like a friend than a girlfriend around them. is this normal? how can i get over that awkward feeling? -- Posted by DaisyMontana at 12:39 pm on July 5, 2009 No, it's not. You need to show ur friends that you really love her. -- Posted by clockworkorange71 at 12:40 pm on July 5, 2009 Yeah, it's normal.  I always felt weird even being near my ex (wasn't at the time) when I was with my friends.. or with his friends.. -- Posted by RIMHfire at 12:41 pm on July 5, 2009 Try and break that habit of yours. And show your friends you finally have a girlfriend. -- Posted by randomray at 12:43 pm on July 5, 2009 you need to try and realise that no one will look at you differently because you are holding hands with your gf. if you don't then she is going to feel a little pushed to the side like you don't really care. holding hands isn't coupley, making out all the time is. you shouldn't feel uncomfortable with it and if you do hold her hand with your friends around I'm sure it will make her happy as you don't usually ... -- Posted by Craziie at 12:44 pm on July 5, 2009 Man up and show your girlfriend off ! show them you love her.
