All the guys act carefree and easy going when their girlfriends finally decide to introduce him to their friends. The brutal truth is that boys are nervous and laugh a lot. It’s one of the most stressful times for guys with girlfriends (but of course, nothing beats meeting the parents!).

– Smile and be kind. Introduce yourself… I know you’re nervous to death, but stay still enough to extend a hand when you introduce yourself. Yeah, it’s not corny to do that. Don’t wait for your girlfriend to make the introductions. Be confident and calm. Your girlfriend will be impressed. And her friends too!

– Remember their names. Never mix them. It’s offensive, really, and it’s a huge turnoff for your friends. When trying to remember names, he repeats a name in his head three to five times while smiling at the person. Works.

– Join the action. Participate in their conversation. I know it’s awkward, that’s natural, but when your girlfriend sees you trying to be a part of her inner circle, she will make her totally trust your efforts to be the best boyfriend. However, don’t watch the whole conversation. Charming them with a few clean jokes is nice, but rambling on about them all night is a shredder.

– Watch and learn. Listen to your tracks. You can track your activities, such as one of your friends is into photography and his best friend is also an avid fan. Also, this is a great opportunity to get to know them and adapt to their tastes and interests.

Now comes the tricky part. We know you want to impress them, but be careful if you try too hard, it can lead to flirting! And you know it’s a great way to ruin a relationship. So take a deep breath, look your best, and make it seem like meeting your girlfriend’s friends is as natural as breathing.
