making time

Sorry, but I have always made time for friends, and my men have respected me for it. the few who were bothered by this, i said adios. And I respect a man who makes time for his friends. I want to go out with a man who has solid male friendships, otherwise something is very wrong. I cant always say that my female friends have done the same for me, but they always came running back after the breakup. Sometimes I said get lost, and sometimes i welcomed them back-- depends on the person. You can't just throw away your friends; while the relationships come and go, friends are there for you. Don't disrespect your friends!

One of the first things to look at in this boyfriend is how much in love is he with you. So how do you tell? If you have made plans with your friends and he wants to do something all you should have to do is tell him no I have plans with friends...can we do that another time? If he says sure no problem and then set's up another time with you then you will know he truly cares about you. He trust's you and wants only the best for you. If he gets mad or makes you feel like your friends are more important than him....you have a problem. You do not want that kind of man believe me. If he would not give you your freedom now wait until you marry. It may be very hard for you to do but pay very close attention to this. Your future happiness depends on it.

However you do it, it's very important to keep time for your friends. Take it from someone who lost a lot of great friends over a not so great relationship. At first I would cancel plans with my friends to hang out with my guy. That was all fine until I had nobody left and he started abusing me. It took me, myself, and I to get out of that relationship. I remained close with only a few friends and thats all I have now, 6 years later. Friends last forever, boyfriends don't always. An idea would be to make a special time for your boyfriend, his friends, you, and your friends to all hang out together. Go bowling, go to a movie, or just grab a bite to eat together. Your man probably feels the need to spend some time with his friends as well, so use that time to spend time with your friends. Hope that helps.
