Managing LTRs friends

Show up, and when you get bored, leave. Come up with an excuse. Your girl wants to show you off a bit more I guess, and it’ll be fine if you show up for a bit, fulfilling that desire, then leaving because of your busy schedule.

Even if she knows you aren’t busy, her friends won’t. Those are my 2 cents, but idk.

If she’s your LTR, then sometimes you have to take one for the team. Sure, you can bail early, but, ultimately you are going to have to show up from time to time.

Doesn't sound like you are ready for an LTR.

You should run game on her friends, but not fuck them. Keep your skills sharp

I like my LTR’s friends. They all fawn over me even the married ones. Keeps ltr in check.

In your life you will have a million social situations like this one, including in work interactions. Just think of it as practice for when it matters.

Go and play the part of cunning accomplished good looking interesting boyfriend. Make them all jealous of your girl and raise your SMV.

Meet them and say hi. At least she is showing you off. It’s when she doesn’t that you have to worry or realize she’s upset/potentially wants to replace you. Doesn’t mean you have to make them your new best friends too

Her friends will always suck, but they are vital to get on your side. Indulge them once in a while, be nice, smile, and get them to like you. You don't have to see them every weekend, but definitely can't ignore.

Don't make things harder for you than they have to be. Be chill, have fun, smile, and then stay busy.

Either go and suck it up or go and have an excuse to leave early.

If this is your LTR you are sometimes going to have to engage in banal small talk with her friends.

Only read the TLDR— thanks for letting us know you are a wordy fuck.

Do what you want— if you are in a conversation with someone you don’t like, use Carnegie’s techniques. Haven’t read Dale Carnegie? Then you’re a fag.

Do you expect people in general to entertain you?

You sound somewhat of a misanthrope. If her friends are just normal people then you can steer the conversation to something interesting to you.

If they are absolute dolts and/or can only talk about their past escapades/history, your GF has some severely under-par friends.

Suggestions... get drunk... get them high... Dilute them with your friends or reduce their numbers... explain to your GF that her friend group isn't very welcoming... and finally, dump her.
