Do My Girlfriend's Best Mates Hate Me?

Bring your A game and get your new lady’s pals on side with our tips…

You and your girlfriend have just made it official. You’ve wined her. You’ve dined her. You’ve tried out all your best bedroom moves and… she’s liked them. You’ve even met her dad, and managed to charm your way through lunch without swearing like a pissed-up pirate, talking about his daughter’s ‘sexy butt’ or being chased out of his house at gunpoint. Feels like all the hard work’s done, right?

Nuh huh. There’s one more giant hurdle left to overcome. A few of them, actually. They’re the Simon Cowells of your relationship, the people who – with just a thumbs up or thumbs down – will dictate whether you have a joyous, sex-filled future ahead with your new girlfriend, or if you’re dying a sad, lonely hermit.

The BFF Test is one where your chances of success seem, we’re sorry to say, upsettingly slim. Her best mates know everything about you, even the whole “usually it lasts loads longer than that, honest” thing from the other night.
