Notes From Dad

Couples and Their Friends

Beginning a new relationship is never easy but once you both are dating it’s time to meet each other’s friends. Sounds simple enough but wait-- what if you don’t like them or they don’t like you what can be done to prevent this-answer is; find out about them from talking to your partner and learn as much as possible; their likes, dislikes their personality and their quirks. This article will explore a few ideas on how to impress each other's friends.

First, show friends how you care for your partner; be supportive, hold hands, be complementary and don’t cling. Each of you need to show you are different because of the relationship and still possess your independence.

Second, there is always someone you don’t impress; don’t worry about it, because they may be just watching out for your partner’s best interest and once they get to know you, hopefully they will realize you are the one.

Third, engage in the conversation that is meaningful and shows your personality. Ask their thoughts about a topic and their recommendations on a topic; ask questions that are simple, keep it non-threatening. Acknowledge to them you enjoyed the conversation and let them know you look forward to speaking with them again.

Finally, be yourself; smile upon introduction and remember their names. A person will feel complimented by remembering their name; try to relax and show enthusiasm and talk about what attracts you to your partner by being positive about one another. Remember by meeting each other’s friends you are entering another part of each other’s lives which you hope will bring years of love and happiness.

Good Luck!!
