"Introducing a guy to my friends is always exciting--and a wee bit scary. Here are a few Dos and Don&amp;amp;#8217;ts I&amp;amp;#8217;ve learned over the years to successfully blend boys and besties! Do tell him about your friends ahead of time: You don&amp;amp;#8217;t need to make flashcards, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s important that he goes in armed with some key characteristics about each of your girls (e.g., Carly went to St. Lawrence, Ashlee was my Gamma Phi Beta sis and Amber and I met in Rome). And if you haven&amp;#x27;t already, let him know why each chick is so special to you. Don&amp;amp;#8217;t meet up while he&amp;amp;#8217;s trying to watch a playoff game: Impressing your friends is super-important to him, this I guarantee. But I also know that guys aren&amp;amp;#8217;t great at multitasking, especially when a beloved sports team is fighting for a championship. Bars are usually a fun, laid-back way to get a group together, but do it when he&amp;amp;#8217;s not watching the Yankees playoff match out of the corner of his eye. Yes, we are awesome and foxy. But he&amp;#x27;ll be watching the dude in the red jersey, instead! Do keep certain things between you and him: In the first blush of a relationship, you might want to share every detail&amp;amp;#8212;sex, fights, birthmarks&amp;amp;#8212;with your girls, but zip the lip. You don&amp;#x27;t want your BFF to have one too many cocktails and blurt out, &amp;amp;#8220;So, Marc! I heard ya can&amp;amp;#8217;t get it up!&amp;amp;#8221; (BTW, this actually happened to a girl I know.) Ouch! Don&amp;amp;#8217;t invite frenemies: This sounds obvious, but sometimes it&amp;amp;#8217;s hard to omit one irksome girl from your otherwise tight-knit group of besties. And trust me: You won&amp;amp;#8217;t score any points with your boy if you spend the evening sniping under your breath. Save the meet-&amp;#x27;n&amp;#x27;-greet for just your favorite few! Do you get nervous when your new man meets your friends? What are your strategies for success? Do you care if your guy and your pals mesh? For more&amp;amp;#133; *Uh oh...my guy friend said, &amp;quot;I love you&amp;quot;! *Who is your BFF? *Why do I care so much about what my friends think?
