| If you are looking to take your relationship from dating to boyfriend/girlfriend or further and you haven't worked on her friends it's time.
When you get to the point of dating. After several dates it's time for YOU to bring up the idea of meeting her friends. First of all, most women have to ask men to come out and meet their friends. By taking the initiative you can really win some points.
You are not going to change who her friends are. She was friends with them before she met you and likely will be friends with them for a while longer. If you want to learn more about your lady, and impress her work her friends.
Simply mention to her the next time you are together that you want to meet her friends. Something like, "You know I was thinking. You talk about xxx all the time, and I can tell they are important to you. I'd really like to meet them, if that's okay, maybe we can all hang out at xxx."
When you suggest the meeting first of all you are taking doubts out of her mind that you are a player or other things. People who are serious about relationships want to meet the partners family and friends. It's natural to want to be cause you are learning about them. To understand them better this is the next step.
Once you get to the time where you are to meet them it's your time to shine. Get your game face on and be in a great mood!
Many people will tell you to ignore your girl and just focus on the friends. WRONG. You want to give your girl some attention physically and with conversation but the focus will be on her friends. If her friends catch you ignoring her this is going to lead to a bad impression of you, to her and her friends.
While talking you need to actually build a connection with these people through commonalities and other things. Not just talking about the weather and sports. Granted if they are guys sports can be a way to go. Still getting into deeper conversations is going to get you closer to them, which is going to be important persuing a relationship with your lady because you're likely to see them again.
If they are into writing, painting, or other creative art talk about their art work. Talk about their passions. Where do they get their inspriration from. What piece is the most special to them and why. You are truly getting to know them, and not just shooting the proverbial bullshit.
Talking about their jobs is a good way to go if they are in a career. Most people, espeically analytical personalities, find their sense of being through their jobs. Talk about their job and they won't stop talking.
Others find a lot through God, so be prepared to talk about religion if needed.
You just want to find out what makes them tick and what they enjoy doing. Much like comfort - connection building phase would work if you were doing pickup. It's your time to shine and to find out about them. Make sure to include your partner in the conversations. Also, make sure to share with the friend things about yourself and identify with what they tell you, so they can see parts of their personality in you. This will create comfort, trust, and give you the friend's seal of approval.
Yours Truly,
