By- Shreya Sharma
You know your friend’s opinion of you will matter to your man and hence it is really necessary to make a good impression on them. Meeting your man’s friend is nerve-wrecking and may give you sleepless nights. You will just have to accept them because they are a part of your boyfriend’s life, no wonder however annoying or loud they are. Your man will love you if you make efforts to be nice with them. Here are 15 ways you can befriend your boyfriend’s friend and make them like you.
- Show up!
Your man’s friend will not like you if you say no to every time they call you for a get together. You got to make some efforts and show up. Initially it will be difficult for you to show up in his group but slowly the discomfort will go away. If you are nervous to go, better you plan the get together on your own. When you will feel at home, it will be easy for you to socialize.
- Do not make your BF to choose
If you just cannot stand them, still you should not ask your BF to make a choice between them or you as it will only make things worse. It may help you deal with problem on short term but it will affect your relationship in long run. If they have made no personal harm to you, you should not hamper their equation with their friend.
- You got to give him space
Do not be too clingy or needy that your boyfriend and his friends feel pissed off. Do not take away his personal space by being over possessive or keep on texting or calling him. He will never like to have his friend form a perception of him to be henpecked. Give him his space and allow him to meet his friends.
- He is the one you have feelings for
You might be concerned that his friends are annoying and ass and your opinion for your bae may change because of this. But remember he is the one you have feelings for. Your friends are not same as you same is with him. Sure our friends speak a lot about us but not everyone in a group is same.
- communicate
To know your BF’s friends, you need to talk with them and get them on your side. Keep the conversation light and find common interests, may be you will make a great bond with them. Listen to your boyfriend when he talks about them and ask his friends question on that basis to make the conversation more engaging.
- A bonding session
They might be nice people too. If it is not your romantic date and just any random outing, you can call his friends too. You all can go for a movie or to some amusement park. This will help your boyfriend from the situation of choosing between you and his friends.
- Be consistent
Do not be polite and courteous to them only when your BF is around. Meet them, greet them and be sincere every time you see them. If you are courteous only in front of him, it will make you appear fake though you were just doing it to impress him.
- Do not be jealous of his girl friends
You will sure find it hard to accept his girl of his friends group and you will be quiet jealous of their bond. But do not just jump to a conclusion or despise them. Know them like other friends of your BF before making any opinion. Do not try to act fake or just act to be their BFF immediately.
- Do not cross your boundaries
Being friend with your bae’s friend will make your relationship strong but do not cross the boundary and act too friendly with them. If it is genuine and two ways, it is great but if it is other way around, it will raise people’s eyebrows. If any of his friend’s makes you feel uncomfortable, bring the issue to your BF’s notice.
- Be the best girlfriend
Treat your man well when his friends are around to strengthen your relationship. Picking arguments, putting him down or too much of being mushy-mushy will make them badmouth you. And this can even make your boyfriend breakup with you. You better be the best girlfriend.
- Do not ignore your individual life
Encourage your man to be with his friends. When his friends will notice that there is no change in their friendship even after him being in relationship, they will like you and consider you one cool girlfriend. You too should spend time with your friends even when in relationship.
- Say no to PDA
When you are hanging out with your BF and his friends, keep the PDA to the minimum level. Too much of PDA will make his friends and even him uncomfortable.
- Make sure your guy stands up for you if necessary
If your BF’s friend are rude to you, it is better you sit back. A little bit of banter is fine and it is a way to tell you that you have been accepted by their group. If it has grown out and personal, it is better you share it with your BF and let him handle the situation.
- Remember he is your BF’s friend
You might have become great friend with friends and they are on your side but still remember that they are his friend and will always choose him over you. You need not to expect them to dig you the inside information.
- Form a girlfriend group
If your boyfriend’s friends have girlfriends, there is no harm in getting them on your side. In fact, your guy and his pals would probably be thrilled if you became friends with their other halves. You could hang out as a group, allowing them to share their time equally between their friends and girlfriends, or you could get together with the girls when the guys are doing their own thing.
