He’s just said the three words you’ve been longing to hear: “Meet my friends.” Now you just have to win them over.
You Will Need
- A boyfriend who wants you to meet his friends
- Your boyfriend’s friends
- And a determination to be liked
Step 1: Learn names
Ask your boyfriend if he has a picture of his best buds so you will be able to put faces with names. Using a person’s name is a proven way to get on their good side.
Don’t try picturing them naked to settle your nerves—you’ll only be more nervous, and probably never sleep peacefully again.
Step 2: Introduce yourself
Introduce yourself—shake their hand, make eye contact, smile, and repeat something about them that your boyfriend told you, like “You play soccer, right?” or “Glad to hear that rash cleared up.” On second thought, just smile.
Step 3: Be friendly not flirty
Come across as friendly but not so friendly that your behavior could be misconstrued as flirting. Their first loyalty is to their bud, so if they think you’re coming on to them, you’re screwed.
Step 4: Be unassuming
Be unassuming. Your boyfriend may treat you like royalty, but that doesn’t mean his friends want to be your faithful subjects. If something irritates you, bring it up with your boyfriend later—not by throwing a public temper tantrum.
Step 5: Be positive
Don’t criticize your boyfriend in front of his friends or try to get them on your side of a disagreement. It should go without saying that you shouldn’t criticize them, either.
Step 6: Be a sport
If forced to watch sports, be a good sport yourself. Don’t whine, don’t ask when the game will be over, and most important, don’t make him regret bringing you!
Keep your tongue out of your boyfriend’s mouth—it will make his pals uncomfortable, and they’ll give him grief later.
Step 7: Win them over with tasty treats
Not sure you’ve conquered them? Then it’s time to bring in the heavy artillery. Goodwill comes cheap when you’re armed with cookies, brownies, and pies.
According to one survey, 83% of men say excluding his friends is a relationship deal-breaker.

don't try too hard to impress. just because they're his friends doesn't mean they have the same personality or views

I think hooking his friends up with chicks is probably a surefire way.

Guy- it is not her job to try to get you laid. What if her friends don't sleep with you, that might cause resentment. The point is to all get along. Dude pull your own dates, why put it on her?

Very well put and much needed! Sometimes girls just need to hear stuff for their own good. Without putting a girl down you tell it how it is. Thank you!
