A female Australia age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've known a guy for 2 months and been dating him for the last month. We see each other about 3 times a week and he always initiates getting together. I've been invited to my friend's birthday in a week's time and I told him about it. The other day he was asking me what we should do on the weekend, I then reminded him of the birthday party, and then casually told him he should come with me if he's comfortable with it. He said yes he'd come.

He doesn't know any of my friends and I haven't met his friends either. Was it ok to invite him to this party?

Actually it was a great idea. Now he gets to meet your friends, which means he'll be able to know you and udnerstand you more. :). That's a good thing.

TasteofIndia agony auntDon't worry about it! Now he finally gets to meet your friends, and he seems like he has a good attitude about it. Just make sure that you don't forget about him and try to involve him - so introduce him around, etc.

Have a great time, sweetness!

100% OK, and a great idea...

Make sure that you introduce him around, and don't leave him alone, as he could feel abandoned. If you start talking about "old times", make sure that he's not stuck standing there with a smile and unable to participate in the conversation. If there is anything sensitive- some one there you used to date, or 2 people there that used to be a couple (and there may be friction), you need to decide what to share and why...

I wouldn't go on about any short comings that you might feel that anyone at the party might have - let him meet your freinds and get to know them... just make sure to check in with him regurlarly to make sure he's OK.
