My best best friend has been dating with his girlfriend for like a year now. And nothing, and i mean nothing has changed between us. We are hanging out every day, do all this stuff together.... It really depends on what kind of a person you are nothing more. What Swag is saying is completely true but it is only true for people who are beginning to get serious, got married, have children, jobs etc. When it is a simple "childish" relationship and nothing is certain, then it is utterly stupid to ditch your friends because of a girl....... My friend has made it clear to his girlfriend; "I have my life, you have your life. If you call me and ask me out when i have already made plans with my friends, sorry i wont come out with you, but on the other hand, if i have made plans with you and my friends call me i wont cancel you to go with them"
