I’m shy around my girlfriend’s friends. Help!

[nathanv1]

My girlfriend and I have been together for 5 months now. We both got together through an international dating event which means that our relationship is interracial. She’s never really had a real family growing up so she’s very close with her only group of friends.

They do everything together just like a normal family would and it’s unavoidable that I’d start to eventually join their circle more often. The thing is, I’m really shy around them because one, I feel out of place, and two, they’re overprotective of my gf. How do I get them to start liking me and feel comfortable around me?

Dont worry about it mate, nothing wrong with being shy. Just make sure your kind and you'll do fine.
