Is meeting a guy's friends a big deal?

[Anonymous]

I've met his parents and had dinner with them a few times. I'm meeting his friends this weekend. I'm guessing he's serious about me to introduce me to his friends. Well, not just introducing, we're hanging out. Me and five guys!

Yes, if I am talking to a girl that is outside of my normal social group it definitely means that I want to make things more serious. Its also a good thing because it means I'm comfortable enough level with you in the relationship to bring you around my friends.

However at the same time if this guy has a close group of friends as I do it can make or break the relationship. I'd be lying if I said I didn't care what my friends think, they are a pretty important part of my life.

Just relax and look as cute as you can (don't dress slutty but look good), act nice, be yourself and everything will be good.

Just a side note, an easy way to get his friends to like you is if you have hot single friends yourself. They will know this and want to be friendly with you just with the knowledge that you might introduce them to your hot friends.

He also has a very small group of friends that he's very close with.

Then just like like I said, be the confident person that you are and they can't help but like you. Laugh and make them laugh and you will be gold.

Also do your best to just keep the conversations light and fun, don't try argue but at the same time don't be a complete push over.

yes it is a big deal! he is showing his buds why he has a great excuse why he doesn't hang out with them as much anymore...

you should have already known this by "meeting the rents" !

Yeah it's a pretty big deal. If you can get a guys' friends to like you and think you are cool, then they are more accepting of you stealing away their buddy from time to time. Basically, if you can win over the friends, you are the real deal.

it's more important that he introduced you to his parents. that's way bigger of a deal than friends

oh hell no. good parents only care if the person makes you happy. friends will judge and have a lot of influence.

seriously? I would think, for me anyways, taking someone home to the family is a way bigger deal. I don't usually let guys meet my family until we're very very serious. but with friends, I introduce him to them within the first month

well why don't you tell him that your a little uncomfortable with this "get together"?

[Asker]

I'm not uncomfortable with it at all.

whoops, read the question wrong. YES, it is because I feel that a lot of my friends make up who I am. Its important that she knows what kind of a guy I am, who are close to me, etc. whenever my guy friends get in a serious relationship, we always want to meet them.
