Deal With Hateful Friends Of Girlfriend

By Sudheendra Mudikeri

Friends of your girlfriend tremendously impact and influence her life; be it her dressing style, her favourite drink, her preferred hangouts, books, her professional choices, or who she decides to date! Remember, they came first in her life, you later.

Like it or not, you will have to impress your girlfriend's friends, and ensure they like you just as much as your girl adores you.
Her friends' hatred towards you might be out of jealousy. Whatever be the reason, you need to handle it tactfully or else it could turn out to be a strong reason to bring discontent in your relationship. Here are some ways to deal with your girlfriend's hateful friends.

Deal With Hateful Friends Of Girlfriend

Ways to deal with your girlfriend's hateful friends:

Be nice to them. Whenever you go out together irrespective of the event, you must make an effort to be nice to your girlfriend's hateful friends. Talk to them, listen attentively to what they have to say and even offer to buy drinks for them. Treat them well and there will be no reason for them to dislike you.

Make them a part of your plans to surprise your girl. Ask for their help or assistance, especially your girlfriend's likes and dislikes (even if you know them). Put a feeling in their mind that they are a part and parcel of your relationship.

Your PDA should be evident but subtle. Your public display of affection needs to be under your control. But don't stop yourself by not displaying it either. Try subtle ways to display your emotions and affection. It is one of the ways to deal with
your girlfriend's hateful friends smartly without hurting your lady love!

Be considerate. It could be possible that her friend is hateful towards you not because you are in the wrong but because she is going through a stressful phase. So, be considerate. Never ever lash out at her at the onset. Give her space and reason out with her when she gets too rude to handle. Again, listen to them attentively.

Do a boyfriend's job for her. This is a proven way of making her and your girlfriend's friends know that YOU CARE. Help her when she needs it, but deal only through your girlfriend's consent, the common link, or else you may land up in a jealousy problem.

Don't let opportunities slip where you are asked for advice. Advise her in a tone of an option she could go for. Do not enforce your thought as the last word, especially in her affairs.

Deal with them head-on after discussing with your girlfriend.
When all else fails, it is best to tackle her hateful friends head-on. Take your girlfriend into confidence before you do this. In the presence of your girl, ask them why they hate you and what wrong have you done. Talk things through calmly. If no common ground or baseline will be reached, it is the safest to agree to disagree and just get along!

You need patience and tact to deal with your girlfriend's hateful girl-friends. Be the nice guy and it will only be a matter of time before they come around.
