We've been together for 5 months now and I've met some of her friends already. I have been to a couple parties where they were all there but I didn't really try to get to know all of them or try to make a lasting impression.
I don't see what you did wrong. If you don't want to be pals, this is the way to go.

Tonight I am going out to dinner with a group of her friends and since a dinner is more close and intimate than a party, I know I will be forced to engage in the group. Her ex is also going to be there and I honestly want to look more alpha and look like a better boyfriend than he was.
If you're worried about "looking more alpha" than her ex, you've already lost. Who gives a shit?

Of course, I also wanna be accepted and liked by the group.
The bull elk doesn't give a fuck about pleasing a group, unless it's his job. Ditch this pleaser mentality. That's step #1. Then hit the gym.
This entire post, IMHO, is a display of neediness. No offense, OP. Act like the prize, not the bitch court jester.

Any tips on how I should do this?
Yes, focus on your career, fitness, and passions, and never worry about what other people think (not in your job) ever again.
