Friends Jealous I Have A Boyfriend

I have had a very great relationship for about 4 months and 1 day officially, though we were dating several weeks before becomming boyfriend and girlfriend. I am very happy now, but my friends are making it hard for me to fully enjoy being taken and happy.

My best friend for example, basically everyday she is telling me how lonely she is and how she is doomed. And then she says YOU have a boyfriend, why don't I. And then i explain time and time again that there's been times when I've been single and she had a boyfriend. But then she just gets all mopey, because that doesn't count apparently =|. Then she tells me how I need to set her up with someone, like all of a sudden I've become a relationship expert...but I am not at all! I just got lucky. I try to tell her that love found me, I didn't go looking for it. But still she wants me to "set her up". Meh.

And I have a guy friend, Jimmy, who is doing the same thing. Trying to get me to set him up because I'm a relationship expert all of a sudden.

I'm having such a hard time with being taken because they are making me feel like I am some freaking expert, and making me feel guilty I'm happy...I just don't know what to do. Ugh.

What should I do?

Why don't you set your friend and Jimmy up?
Sounds ideal to me.

That or quit explaining that love found you and just tell them to get over it. Don't let them rain on your parade.

Thing is, i don't have anyone to set them up with. theyre my 2 closest friends, i dont have ANY more friends that are girls besides vikki, so jimmy is screwed. and vikki knows all my friends that are guys...i dont have anyone else.

it sucks! to say the least. lol. and i've told them i dont have any other friends, then they drop it....until a day or 2 later. x.x

I think that simplyfrigid meant to set them up with each OTHER. That's the first thing I thought too.

And if that, for whatever reason, isn't an option, then just ignore them. Let them mope. Nobody ever accomplished anything sitting around feeling sorry for themselves... someday they will figure it out.

Oh. i've tried time and time again, they arent into each other..lol.

and yeah....i try to ignore them. but theyre the ones i always am talking to. so it kinda sucks. but whatever.....i guess you guys are right. i dont like them raining down on my happiness...i wish they'd cheer up and figure out being single isnt the worst thing in the world...

Ugh...again today my best friend, Vikki, was moping about being single....i swear. i've been SO excited all day because my boyfriend is finally coming to see me....and instead of her being happy that i am. shes like "sigh, i wish i had a boyfriend. get me a boyfriend erika!"
=|

its hard to ignore....

are there anymore ideas?

Only advice I can offer, is that maybe the reason they hassle you about being single etc is because you might talk to them A LOT about your boyfriend, which makes them feel out of the loop / as though you're rubbing their noses in the fact that you're happy with someone.

I duno. I know people often only ever talk about their partners when they are in a new relationship and it gets other peoples backs up.

I admit that sometimes i talk about him, but usually i only talk about him when people ask...like today she asked why i was smiling, all i said was "eric is coming"...but i can definitely see where you guys are coming from. i'll definitely watch myself and make sure i'm not gabbing about him on and on...=p

Well, i have great news! a lot has happened since i posted this. one of the guys that used to like me now likes my best friend, Vikki! she doesnt like him, but shes going to give him a shot and go on a date with him. and regardless, it upped her self esteem and she isnt complaining anymore.

and my guy friend has stopped complaining to me because theres this girl he has his eye on ^.^

finally i can be happy. woohoo! =D

and thanks a lot you guys, i stopped talking about eric completely. even when i was asked about him, i'd give very short, simple, unemotional answers...and they stopped complaining. WOOHOO!! =D =p

Glad to hear it's all working out for now, single friends will nearly always be jelous even when you don't talk about ur bf at all sometimes just knowing you have one is enough. hope things continue smoothly.

Lol
seems you're a match maker..
