If he wants to ask you to hang out, tell him that you are going to hang out with your friends. He should understand. Hope I helped :)

good luck!
hope i helped!

MummuM answered Friday February 11 2005, 11:41 am: You need to spend time with your friends, so I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him that. Friends are just as important and you can't keep ditching them for your boyfriend. If he wants to do something one night, explain to him that your having a all girls night. Then maybe he can go hangout with his friends and catch up on old times. You can even start hanging out as a group. Go to the mall, movies, your house, etc, with your friends and his friends all together. That way you'll get to see eachother and your friends!

blondebombshell33 answered Friday February 11 2005, 10:17 am: Tell him that you still want to hang out with him... but you think you should hang out with your friends more and he should do the same... there is so many situations when girls and guys ditch their friends for their boy/girl friends... and they end up loosing their friends. he'll be thrilled to hang out with the guys... as you will with your girls. make sure he dosent take it the wrong way... that your getting annoyed of him or soemthing.. :( just tell him that you never see your friends anymore and they miss you and you miss them and your gonna start to hang out with them more... if you put it nicely and innocently like that... he'll be perfectly oK with it! gOOd luck HuN!

mysticpixie05 answered Friday February 11 2005, 9:43 am: well when he is talking about something for you guys to do just be like hey, im gonna spend some time with the girls. i dont really know if that qualifies as nice to you, but there is really not bad way or good way of saying it. you just tell him that you want to go out and hang with the girls for a day/noght. whatever. trust me i dont think he gonna care [ mysticpixie05's advice column | Ask mysticpixie05 A Question ]

shake answered Thursday February 10 2005, 11:53 pm: Tell him you have friends outside of him, if he cant accept that, drop him like 3rd period french, hes a demanding bitch if he cant understand you. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
BooDog answered Thursday February 10 2005, 11:29 pm: Whatever you do, don't use the term "some space" or "more space". It sounds like you're blowing him off, when you're really not. Just tell tim that you want a couple more "girls night out". He can go hang with his male friends for a while. [ BooDog's advice column | Ask BooDog A Question ]
angieroonie answered Thursday February 10 2005, 11:22 pm: be straightforward with him. tellhim that you have to put your friends first. friends will be there always but b/fs leave. so just let him know. good luck
CoUnTrYgUrL77 answered Thursday February 10 2005, 10:41 pm: Well, try saying that you are having a girls night only. Or tell him that he can hang out with his guy friends also! He should understand, because maybe he feels the same? [ CoUnTrYgUrL77's advice column | Ask CoUnTrYgUrL77 A Question ]
