pressure to get serious specifically with her (girl, friend, reason)

[brownben111]

How do I remove pressure from my friends for me to get serious with a particular girl - without avoiding my friends? I do like the girl, but not enough to commit to her. If I give that reason to my friends, they'll never believe me, because in their minds this girl is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

My friends are actually nice people by the way, they do always do things trying to think about my well-being.

you say "hey guys i know you mean well, but please back off a little while i take this at my own pace"
if they respect you as a friend they will understand and comply

Tell your friends to mind their own @#$% business. Why are they even involved in this?

Great suggestion.

And, at your own pace, do consider whether your friends know what they are talking about. Maybe she is that awesome .
