In my group of friends, girls hook up with guys whom their friends have already hooked up with and vice versa. But I always wonder: Do the guys not take the girls who have hooked up with their friends seriously? Am I being judged? Will two guys who have hooked up with the same girl compare notes about them (i.e. oh she does this in bed)? I like the third friend I’ve hooked up with in this group but I’m scared he won’t take me seriously and his friends will say uncomfortable stuff like that about me!
People talk about everybody and everything. Yes, they will talk about you. But if you really like this guy, focus on that, and see if you can build something fun and nurturing with him. If he really likes you, he will ignore anything his friends tell him.
