Situational analysis
It’s weird to have such a title for a post but I realize that it speaks the truth.
The only way to really know a person better is to see how he reacts in familiar territory which in this case, is usually either with his family members or with his friends.
His friends is the first gate you have to clear. Just as you are observing him with his friends, they’re doing the same thing to you too.
To be frank, it’s this gate that makes me jittery than having to face the parents because if you can’t clear the first gate, you can forget about clearing the second gate.

I met the other half’s friends last Saturday when we went to watch the Simpsons. It was a huge group; there were probably more than 14 of us including their respective others. It was no mean feat to be able to get that many tickets but it was probably due to the fact that we were watching it at an ungodly hour of 12.50am in the evening.
They were a wonderful bunch to hang out with, real and genuine. None of that pretentious air prevalent in some of my high-society acquaintances and very tactful with their words. One of them in particular, made an impression because he reminded me of a friend of mine. From the mannerisms to the physique and down to the distinctive laughter, you could never miss out this friend who was the life of every party and ever the cool and intellectual dude.
And this friend, happened to be my ex-boyfriend.
