You shouldn't let other people's opinions determine the fate of your relationship. If you like him, why does it matter what other people think?
People can often be quick to judge others, especially when they're still at school. It doesn't take much for a group of young people to decide that someone else is 'weird.'
Sometimes, this is actually down to jealousy; it's the reason that people who get good grades are often bullied. If a popular kid takes a dislike to someone, their friends are likely to agree with them, and soon everybody has forgotten what they thought he was weird for in the first place.
What To Do If Your Friends Think Your Boyfriend Is Weird
- Talk to them about it. Why don't they like him? It could be something really trivial, or based on rumours that might not even be true.
- Don't worry about being seen with him. If you're embarrassed, or scared that people will start thinking that you're weird too, then it'll have a negative effect on your relationship and put unnecessary strain on the pair of you.
- If you like him, don't break up with him. Unfortunately, being outcast and labelled 'weird' is something that most people experience at one point or another in their lives. It doesn't usually last. People might think he's weird now, but when they grow up, they won't.
If he treats you well and he makes you happy, then even if he is weird, what does it matter?
