It can become very awkward when your own friends don’t get along with your date. Eventually you would either have to put an end to your friendship or your relationship. What to do under such difficult circumstances? Here are some suggestions on how to handle the situation.

Your close friends have your best interests in mind. Therefore, it is important to consider their point of view too. If you spend all the time with your partner then your friends would tend to get jealous. You tend to lose your friends if you do not have time for them and do not value their friendship. Ask them for reasons why they don’t like your date and listen to your friends. Sometimes people have strange reasons or unjust opinions for disliking someone. For example, if your guy is shy then he might be mistaken as being snobbish. Getting the point? Most of the time, your friends are right; but not always. Hence, if they feel that the guy has been cheating on you or something, then try to find out the truth rather than freaking out.

Let your partner know how much you value your friends and that you would really appreciate if he tries to make an attempt to get along with your friends. If he truly likes you then he would at least give it a shot. Ditto goes for your friends too. On some occasions ask your friends if it is okay to call your partner. If they agree then invite your date and all of you’ll could spend sometime together. Slowly your friends might start liking your partner too. If this doesn’t work out then you have to make it a point to spend time with each of them separately. This way you wont have to ruin your relationship with either.
