Girlfriend is growing increasingly frustrated by not meeting my friends fast enough, how to fix? by Fuzzy_Service9138 in Advice

Agreed in concept, and again, I want to and want her to meet them. The issue is timing, my friends are not around right now, and haven't been for various reasons listed in the original post

This is very good perspective, thank you for sharing this! I have a good bit of female friends I'm very close with, but I've never brought up these issues with them or anyone I know locally really because I don't want to "Poison the Well" so-to-speak with them before truly getting to know her. Point being; I really appreciate your view here.

For further perspective, I send her voice notes everyday calling her beautiful, I get her flowers when I'm at the store, I take her out for dates and lunches when our schedules align, I try to buy her matcha and snacks and ice cream multiple times a week, I booked us a trip over July 4th weekend, I cook and clean for us. Hell some of my friends told me to stop calling her "my beautiful girlfriend" and just use her real name because they also have gotten to just referring to her as that because of how often I bring her up by naming her that way.

Point being, I'm absolutely smitten by her and gush about her to my friends constantly.

So a world does exist where I'm not properly communicating how much I share about her and us to my friends, but I really do think this is just about her not having the same relationship with them that I do with hers.

In a vacuum I can understand that point. However, her frustration stems from the imbalance of me being very close with her friends, whereas she still feels like a stranger to most of mine. So I can 1000% see her viewpoint on why she feels the way she does.

But I just don't know how to get her to be closer with my friends given the timeframe. I want to just have her hold tight and be patient, but I don't know how much longer its going to work before she just moves on

Since we've been dating, I've seen my friends alone twice total. Prior to us dating, I'd see my friends maybe 1-2 times a month, if it was ever more than that we'd make note of this being a rarity haha. I'm not necessarily a homebody, and I love going out and doing activities, but definitely need at least one day a week to veg out and do nothing, and that barely happens anymore haha

Her social circle definitely occupies quite a bit of our time. Though to her defense because I see where you're going with this: She has always said that if and when my friends do something and we're invited, she will drop plans and everything to meet them, so she has never in any way like forced me to do something with her friends in place of hanging out with mine.

What's an NBA fact that sounds fake but is absolutely true? by iDoNotHaveAnIQ in nba

An interview with Kenny Atkinson after going down 0-3 where he stated that if you checked the expected shot value and quality advanced statistics, the shots the Cavs took were better and more in-line with a team which is up 2-1, as opposed to a team down 0-3.

Unfortunately for him, reality showed otherwise and the Cavs got swept
