Sharing is caring!

So, you got lucky and met the woman of your dreams.

You’ve gone on a few dates and things are starting to get serious.

You see a bright future for the relationship and now you’re eager to introduce your new girlfriend to your friends.

Making this introduction is a major step and you should proceed with caution.

Research shows that other people greatly influence our decisions, especially our close friends. 

To help things go smoothly, we’ve compiled a few tips to show you how to introduce your new girlfriend to your friends.

How to Introduce Your New Girlfriend

Get to Know Each Other First

You must get to know each other well so you are comfortable in your relationship before you introduce your new girlfriend to your friends.

Otherwise, you risk letting your friends’ opinions affect your judgment.

Make sure you and your new girlfriend have a strong strong foundation first.

Remember that she signed up for a relationship with you, not your friends. 

Prep Her in Advance

Your goal is to make the first introduction as smooth as possible.

Therefore, you must prep your new girlfriend for the meeting by divulging all the pertinent information.

Did you ever have a relationship with any of your friends?

Are your friends liberal while your partner is a staunch conservative?

Are your friends’ tastes in music and movies opposed to your partner’s?

If you don’t reveal these things to your partner beforehand, things can get awkward fast.

You want to avoid uncomfortable conversations or debates at the first meeting.

Keep it Low-Pressure

First introductions should be low-pressure.

Any big gathering like a family reunion, Christmas, or a friend’s wedding is NOT the place or time to bring your new girlfriend along.

In these types of settings, there’s simply too much going on and too many people to meet.

Do something more low-key like going out for coffee with your new girlfriend and your best friend, or having dinner and a drink at your place. Keep the vibe friendly and comfortable.

Also, try to keep the conversation about things other than your new relationship. It’s okay to talk about how you met but keep the details out.

The first introduction to your friends should be about everyone getting to know each other as individuals.

Final Thoughts 

Introducing your new girlfriend to your friends is a big step in the relationship.

Follow these tips and the initial meeting should turn out to be a good one.
