Ask Lucky: Not-so-great Groupie

My BFF and I hang in different groups. Whenever I make plans with my friends, she asks why I don’t want to hang out with her.
She’s not the problem – it’s the girls she hangs out with. What should I tell her?

“I don’t like hanging out with your group because your friends are the worst,” would come across as harsh. Instead, explain to your BFF that you love spending time with her but having your own group of friends is important to you. Not spending every moment together shouldn’t damage your relationship. In fact, it could strengthen it.


By planning quality, one-on-one time, you two are likely to really appreciate and enjoy each other’s company rather than wasting time over silly stuff. If being BFFs and sticking to your own circles works for you two, fab! Otherwise, is there room for compromise? Do you like any of her friends? How about inviting her to hang with your crew this weekend? Worth a go, don’t you think?
