"When I first started dating SM, I thought, &amp;quot;I don&amp;#x27;t care what anyone else thinks.&amp;quot; (A first for me.) And I pretty certain my mother has a major, perhaps unseemly, crush on him. (She once said, &amp;quot;If you don&amp;#x27;t date him, I will,&amp;quot; which is odd considering she&amp;#x27;s married and SM&amp;#x27;s three decades younger than she, but whatever, that&amp;#x27;s another post.) Still, if you had to choose would you rather date a guy who vibes with your family or gets along with your friends? Let&amp;#x27;s consider both sides. Your family is over the moon: The great thing about families (generally) is that they&amp;#x27;ll stick by you at all costs&amp;amp;#8212;whether they like your man or not. But it&amp;#x27;s nice to know that the holidays need not consist of dagger-like stares from Pop over the ham. Your friends more than approve: Friendships grow and change, especially when people start to couple up. In my case, my friends are my family so it&amp;#x27;s a tricky line to walk. For the sake of this particular situation, your homies clearly approve&amp;amp;#8212;even if your family is suspect. Would You Rather Date a Guy Who: Choices, choices. What say you, dolls? If you had to make a choice, which would you rather? Would you rather he gets along with your friends or he gets along with your family?
