Some of them are girls, and I know two of them are really beautiful, and that he used to date another of them years ago. He's known all these friends for years and years, but I don't know any of them! I'm looking forward to meeting them, and hope it's a good sign that he's introducing me to his friends, but I'm nervous, and when I get nervous, I can't think of things to say and worry his friends might get bored when they talk to me. I usually deal with this by asking people questions about themselves. I'm nervous that they will all be judging me and working out whether I'm good enough for him, as I know they all care about him a lot. Does anyone have any tips on how to cope with meeting the friends of your boyfriend/girlfriend for the first time? Thanks :) Reply to this Question

 Your boyfriend should know these people. He should be able to figure out how they woudl react, if he is confident enough to introduce you to them, I am sure he knows that everything will be alright. You need to relax. You are only meeting people, regular people. Do not worry about judgement, I doubt they would be so critical of whoever their dear friend is dating. They should know that he is dating you for a reason.
Just go and have a good time. Enjoy yourself.
I hope that helps.
