Hearing Both Sides

I have two friends that like each other. I am lucky enough to be a confidant of both parties. I find it interesting to act as a behaviorist and observe how the two approach the romantic world. One is very conservative and prefers to keep quiet about what happens on the outings the two have together. The other is very excited and more outgoing about their feelings toward the other.

I observed that these two not only defy the usual psychological rule of birds of a feather flock together (seeing as they are so different), I also notice both parties adjust behavior based on outside pressure inflicted by outside sources also known as friends. They do things to appease their friends,  even though (according to the language of their faces) makes them very uncomfortable.
People like to control in others lives (in)tangible things that they do not posses in their own lives. Instead of making those who do have feel micromanaged and uncomfortable, maybe people, outside sources, and friends should take a step back and allow themselves to observe the natural interaction between two people who have romantic interest in one another, rather than the artificial interaction caused by the their [people] (hopefully intentionally) overbearing pressure that comes with their presence.
