When you start dating a new guy and things start getting more serious, you’re bound to meet the friends at some point or another. This experience can be somewhat intimidating as we all know that friends can make or break your future with this dude.
If they don’t like you then it’s likely that your relationship won’t go much further because you want to be able to chill with them without any awkward tension. Making a good first impression will ensure that they’ll have positive reviews which make your guy like you even more. Here’s how you do it:
Don’t be a Grinch
Having a sense of humor is the fundamental building block of impressing his buddies. Men appreciate a woman who doesn’t take herself too seriously, and can crack a joke at any time. Being able to laugh takes the edge off of any tense situation so it’s important to be witty, but not overly sarcastic.
Don’t be clingy
He needs time with the boys, and you never want to become that girl in his life who stops him from being one of the guys. That will bring automatic resent. Even when you’re around the boys, make the time to get to know them and talk to them without your guy by your side. It shows you are independent and confident enough to take care of yourself.
Don’t be flirtatious
This one relates to the previous point of getting to know his buddies. You want to come across as friendly and inviting; however you do not want to be labeled as a flirt because that is just downright embarrassing for your dude.
The most important tip we can offer when it comes to meeting the friends is simply just to be yourself. There’s a reason your guy likes you, and it’s because you’re an individual. Don’t jeopardize your own point of view to impress others. More often, we like those who stick to their guns.
