Background: Since I plan on staying at my college this upcoming weekend with some friends of mine (original group), I thought that I would visit some of my other friends as well, even though my original group doesn’t mind me doing so at all.
Situation: I met this girl in one of my classes and even though we didn’t talk very much, she recognized me as I was walking past her friend’s apartment from a party with a small group of people. Even though her friend’s apartment was a “friends only” event, this girl still invited me to come in after asking her friend if it was okay just because she recognized me from class.
Ever since then, I’ve only seen her at parties once in awhile, since she usually does her own thing during the weekends, and every time, she always seemed happy to see me. I also drove her and her friends to and back from a party when I was designated driving one night, but they probably don’t remember me because they were drunk at the time.
Furthermore, after telling her about coming up to visit this upcoming weekend, she said that she’ll definitely let me know what her and her friends decide to do during the weekend.
Overall, I feel like some people are presuaded by their own friends when it comes to decision making. If one friend doesn’t agree, then the rest of the group may go along with it just to avoid any confrontations between the group.
So, if you were the girl in this situation, do you expect your friends to be understanding when meeting someone new, which would be me in this situation?
On an extra note, this girl’s friend group has both guys and girls, if that changes anything.
TLDR: A friend of mine may not invite me to hang out with her and her friends just because they don’t personally know me, even though she doesn’t mind at all, but her friends may.
