@sonny2018,
You're saying that it's not because they think it's too soon for you to be seeing another man? That it is this guy that they don't like?
I'm wondering why multiple close friends are advising you against this guy. One friend, sometimes even two friends can for whatever reason take a dislike to someone, but when it's multiple friends - to me that's a red flag.
It's a much bigger red flag when those friends feel so strongly about it that they bar him from coming to their houses. That's extreme. Why would they feel so strongly about it? (multiple friendse do
not do this for jealousy issues or any similar reason)
Quote:Their reasons include: “he doesn’t seem to be your type”
That's not a reason. That is a diplomatic way of seeing if you are open to a conversation about the reasons. If you get defensive, or don't ask 'why do you say that' (or something similar), then the conversation never progresses further. Even if you did say that, you would probably still need to encourage them to be open about their reasons, which they obviously are not being.
That sort of conversation takes a willingness to hear what the others want to say, but it can be very difficult to bring ourselves to listen to such without judgement.
As for whether or not to keep them around - you can never tell if relationships will last, but long term friends are usually long term for a reason. There are many ways to handle this, including some that have been suggested by other posters.
