5 ways to know your guy's friend like you

One of the things that cements your relationship with your man is having a good and cordial relationship with his friends.

Loving only him and hating his friends will definitely put some kind of strain between you two, especially if he is very close to his buddies or known for many years before meeting you.

You may be trying hard and making an effort to be likeable, but you don’t know for certain if the guys are taking to you or not. These 5 signs are easy ways to know for sure:

1. They Tell You: It seems obvious to read it but if you’ve been thrust into a strange crowd in a strange town and are just trying to keep breathing through the end of the night, you could easily overlook a telltale sign. Worse yet, you could over-analyze it. One advantage you have in this situation (as opposed to the reverse, where he’s meeting your girlfriends for the first time), is that guys are exceptionally transparent. “You’re so much cooler than Dave’s high school girlfriend” carries no hidden meaning.

2. They Tell Him: Guys are not exceptionally sentimental (at least with each other), so again, there’s no catty politics behind one man telling another he approves of friend’s lady. If they do so in a way that belittles your man, that’s even better for you.

“Seriously, Dave, next time you can just stay home and she can come to the game with us.” Ripping on each other is the most elegant way guys know how to show companionship. Again, men are not complicated creatures.

3. They Show You: Actions do speak louder than words, after all. (Unless your man brings you to an overcrowded bar to meet his crew. Then everyone’s just screaming at each other. Avoid this.) If the room goes awkwardly silent the entire time your man makes a quick bathroom break, you have some work to do. If the friend(s) are carrying on a genuine conversation with you when he’s not there to facilitate, you’re doing something right.

4. You’re Invited: This isn’t always a foolproof sign — you may be invited as a courtesy because the group knows your guy won’t show up without you — but if you’re directly included in the next invitation, you should feel pretty good. This is especially true if you’re invited with your man to the next tailgate or game watch. It’s one thing for you to get invited to a bigger party where you’re immediately introduced to everyone — it’s quite another to be invited specifically by the bros. (If you understood that party reference, by the way, his friends absolutely like you and may actually be encouraging him to propose right now.

5. You’re In Demand: “So, like, do you have any single friends?” Also not a guarantee because, hey, men always try to score a quick date now and then, but if the friends are asking you to set them up, it’s usually a solid sign that they like what they see in you and wish they could find a similar girl for themselves.
