When you date a guy, you ultimately inherit a new family and most of the time, new friends. Interacting with them is a crucial part of your relationship. If you can get along with them, he’ll be putty in your hands. No guy can resist a girl who gets along with his friends. There are a few friend stereotypes that one will eventually encounter.

Frank The Flirty Friend

Frank is really nice. Frank always makes you feel included when you hang out with his guys. Frank is…a little too nice. He’s overly touchy and a little suggestive. It’s more than a little inappropriate.

Frank is probably the ladies man of the group. He’s the one that has the crazy stories about the time he had sex in the dorm elevator with some girl he just met. Being that guy, Frank has little to no interaction with women who he’s not trying to have sex with. He’s usually harmless, but if he’s making you very uncomfortable, say something to your boyfriend. Chances are he’s already noticed it and said something himself.

Dominic The Dick

Ultimately, you’ll meet a friend who is just a plain asshole. He’s always drunk. He convinces your boyfriend to do stupid things. And he may not be the nicest guy to you.

The thing with Dominic is, he’s used to being the center of attention. Probably because he puts himself there by doing things like flashing his junk and getting kicked out of bars. You threaten his placement as center of attention in your boyfriend’s world. Fortunately, getting along with Dominic is pretty simple. Channel your inner frat boy and challenge him to stupid bets. Tell him to chug that can of spray cheese, or a gallon of milk, and other things that will make him feel like the world of douchebaggery revolves around him.

Sean The Shy Guy
No matter what you do to try and connect with Sean, he won’t open up. Talking to him is impossible and in those terrifying few moments when you guys are alone, the awkward silences are deafening.

To be honest, there’s no dealing with Sean until he’s ready to let you in. He’s self protective and probably protective of your boyfriend. You’ll have to wait until you earn Sean’s trust that you’re not going to break his friend’s heart.

His Best Friend Barry

Barry and your boyfriend are best friends. He’s the one you’ll need to win over. Nothing puts the kiabosh on a relationship faster than the best friend hating your guts. Or vice versa. However, the world is not a perfect place.

Not everyone will get along but the important thing is that everyone is polite and cordial. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll all be one big happy family!
