When you go to meet your girlfriend or wife's friends for the first time it can be a little stressful even if you have been together awhile. For starters, they have undoubtedly been talking about you for awhile, and God only knows exactly how much they have talked about. In addition to that, for the majority of women I have known, the opinions of their friends are very important to them and therefore should be important to you as well. You need to make a good impression and at the same time not make them fall totally in love with you!

When you go to meet her friend's be confident and introduce yourself as her boyfriend or husband proudly and boldly and show them that you are not intimidated. All women are attracted to confidence. Also, make sure that you pay attention to what they say and do your best to remember their names, use word association tricks if you need to and don't make the mistake of calling one of them another's name. These may seem like inconsequential things, but to women it is a serious issue and makes it look like you just can't be bothered to remember.

Take an active part in the conversations that are going on when you meet the girls; they will be impressed by this as much as by your taking the initiative and introducing yourself. By participating in the conversation you are showing them that you are really interested in what they have to say and in getting to know them. Your wife or girlfriend will appreciate this as well, as long as you don't get to close or flirty! There is a fine line to walk here, don't cross it. If you spend too much time with the girlfriends and leave your girl alone she may think you are too interested in them. This is especially dangerous if your girl tends to be the jealous type anyway, if so I would advise not to have any private conversations at all with any of the other women.

When you are having the conversations, listen more than you talk and try to remember as much information as you can. Afterwards when you and your girlfriend are alone you can make a comment about it or ask a question including the information and this will let your girl know that you were really paying attention. It will also impress the friends when you see them again, for example if one of the friends told you she had a cat named Fluffy, asking, "how's Fluffy?" will get you some brownie points just for remembering.

You know that your girl and her friends talk, and yes they talk about you too. That is why it is so crucial that they like you because if they don't they will do their best to talk her into dumping you and they always have someone else in mind to hook her up with. Just be nice, be a gentleman, be confidant, and whatever you do, don't flirt!
