How are you supposed to balance your time between your boyfriend and best friends?

I hang out with a fairly large group of friends (girls and boys), and it seems like we're with each other constantly. I've liked one of the guys in our group for months and we recently started dating. Needless to say, we've gotten kind of serious. The problem is the rest of my friends feel like when we're all together I tend to ignore them for my boyfriend. Are they just seeking drama or are they really feeling left out? I honestly have no earthly idea how I'm supposed to handle this.How are you supposed to balance your time between your boyfriend and best friends?
If your friends feel like they are being ignored, then you are probably ignoring them, at least to some extent. The one thing that you should remember is that it's always a good idea to put your friends before a relationship.





It's a fact of life that relationships come and go, but friends are always there. If you alienate your friends while in a relationship, and that relationship unfortunately ends, then you may lose some friends when you try to go back to them.





Now as for managing time, it just takes some practice. Try to schedule one day a week with your significant other. This should just be for the two of you (your alone time). Then when you go to events with friends, spend time with your friends (even if your boyfriend is there). You don't need to ignore him, but I imagine that he has friends there as well, so give him space and make sure that he gives you yours. Of course you can still spend time with your boyfriend at the party, just make sure that he isn't your focus.





Again, this will be easier with time. I hope that things work out for you!How are you supposed to balance your time between your boyfriend and best friends?
Been through this many times. I think you need to spend quality one on one time with your boyfriend so you really get to know each other. Spend maybe a little less time with your friends for now until you are totally comfortable with each other then it will be easy to talk to your friends more.





There is an easy way to spend quality time with your friends and still feel like you are being with your boyfriend. Sit side by side each other put talk to different people. If he likes it, simply put your pinky finger on him. I found this a great way to learn to be with my friends but staying intimate with my girlfriend at the same time. It will help you in the future too.





My girlfriend always figured out a way to facing me on the couch thigh to thigh but talking to someone else at the same time. We used to have the greatest love making sessions after this. Definitely built bonds.
I guess you should just make sure you're not completely into him 100% of the time when you're with all of your friends. Include everybody into the conversation and the jokes, etc. Also, don't make it awkward for your friends by making out with your boyfriend/touching him, hugging him constantly when you're with everyone.
even if you have a boyfriend the idea is to still remain independent because guys like that. Include your man in your activities with your friends still. Take time out to hang with your friends by yourself as well and let your man have time to his self
well try to equal it out as best as you can but if you suddenly get the feeling your boyfriend is not letting you spend enough time with your friends get out because boys may come and go but friends are forever
learn the word balance and the truth is your boyfriend and you might separate 2 yrs from now but your friends are sure to stick around so think wise.
I know how your friends feel because Ive been in the same situation.


You just have to set a time for your boyfriend and time for your friends.
same thing happened to me just talk to your boyfriend about it. because last time i lost one of my bestfriends cuz of a guy:(
yeah, i know this one. what you need to do is to first take a deep breath, relax, and sort things out. your friends are just as important as your boyfriend, even if he may seem like your entire world; and its easy to get caught up with him when surrounded by friends because thats where your most comfortable. what you need to do is set apart special time for you and your boy where you can hang out, talk, have fun, whatever. if your more comfortable with having friends around as opposed to constant one-on-one, try group dating. it takes a lot of that awkward tension away. then you also need to find time where you can be with just your best friends. when hanging with your large group, it would seem odd to request your boyfriend not to be there, so just let him know (because he probably feels the same way) that you need to let your friends know that theyre not just a third wheel. yeah, hold hands with him and all that jazz, but dont be clingy. feel free to fraternize with all your friends and leave him be a little while, he too has friends who are probably dying to get a chance to hang with just him again too.
