how can i change this girl?

so i have this new girlfriend and i am dating out of my social circle which is really weird for me already. I like her, we connect on a lot of different levels, we are very attracted to each other, BUT she is obsessed with money. she has money, but she is really very flashy about it and she wears really over the top clothes, which is cool with me i guess but my friends really do not like her for that. i come from the same amount of moneyed background if not more, because it is has been with my family for generations, me and my friends all dress very conservatively, we have fun with it but for instance she wore a black lace minidress with these 7inch high heels where the hell is made of the Chanel sign. and then she had chanel necklaces and stuff with the logo everywhere. i mean it looked cool if we lived in New York, but she just looked really out of place at this memorial day celebration at my country club. i love her, but what should i tell her so she can maybe tone her clothes down a little?

    I see that you are in a difficult situation. I sorta had a similar situation.

    well, It'd make her feel bad if you tell her to wear different, we all don't like to be pointed out something negative, especially by those whom they feel close to, do we?

    I am assuming that you are either in high school or college?

    If she's still a high school girl, then you may not tell her to change the way she wears, she'd wear with considering about the situation in time.

    If she's in college or older, and still dressing up that way for a formal celebration, then maybe she was not grown up that way, and if that's so, it's difficult to change her since it's what she consider fine and normal.

    You can look at her family and her relationship with them, and try to figure out if it's possible for her to dress the way you want her to.

    Well she sounds like a snobbyish type of person, but if you like her there must be a good reason for it, so best not to judge and give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she's trying to impress you so you can think of her as this classy rich sophisticated woman. Girls are weird and for some reason they think they must go over the board to impress. If you are too nervous about it, maybe ask a friend of both you and and hers to talk to her about it. Or next time you hang out somewhere directly tell her something like this for example: "Want to go to (mall? park? beach? lake?) tomorrow? You can wear those shorts you wore last time they looked really good on you you know. I think the casual laid back look makes you look naturally pretty.

    Source(s): Hope this helped at least a bit and good luck

    You shouldn't want to change someone if you really love them.

    Maybe you should have re-phrased that as "knock some sense into this girl".

    Just ask her to be a little more conservative for serious events like memorials, funerals, etc, out of respect. After all, it's not a fashion show.

    If you connect and you really like her you shouldn't want to change her. But do talk to her. You won't be able to change her but you can ask her to tone down some of the stuff she wears when you go certain places.

    I don't think you can forcivly change someone, but i think you can lead them in the right direction by hanging around ppl that might influence her. such as bringing her to your normal person bru-ha-ha celebrations and stuff. i think that you can change her without even trying, and she will eventually find herself changing without even thinking about it.

    if you love her i think you can stick with her by doing w/e makes her happy. you just have to let ur friends know that to if your close enough to tell them that. i think true love comes before friends so... gl

    You shouldn't have to change a person you love. Love is when you see and accept the person for their flaws.

  • You shouldn't have to change someone you love. I would either talk to her or break things off.
