Q&A for How to Introduce Friends to Other Friends

Think really carefully before you do anything, and make sure that your friends are actually interested in being set up. Don't set them up just based on the fact that they're both single—many, many times when friends set up friends, it can be a disaster (and end your friendship with one or both of them).

Whoever you are talking to first. So if you are with one friend and the other walks up, you could say, "Hi Suzy, this is my friend Jill." If you happen to bump into both at the same time, you could say "Jill this is Suzy, Suzy this is Jill."

Just invite both of them over at the same time and introduce them. You may want to wait to do a sleepover until after they know each other better so they're more comfortable.

There are many ways of dealing with this issue, but it all depends on your personality and standards. You can talk to them about it and inform them of how you feel, find a new group of people to hang out with, or just leave the issue alone and ignore it. (I don't recommend this as the feelings might build and cause you to lash out at your friends later on.)

Invite your friend over and ask them to have their parents drop them off, or arrange to visit your friend and have your parents drop you off. Then you simply introduce them: "Mom, dad, this is Mr. and Mrs. [insert your friend's last name]. Mr. and Mrs. [their last name], these are my parents, [insert your parents full names]."
