How to Balance a Girlfriend and Social Life

I ask myself when I am visiting *Scott's house, " am I interrupting something?". I know that he enjoys spending time with me and I enjoying spending time with him but, when I think back to the beginning of our relationship I can't help to think I have "ruined" his social life. Friday nights for him used to be happy hour and bars until 2 or 3 am. Now his Friday nights are composed of us going to dinner and catching a movie at his place. I had to learn to give him enough space to have fun without me. Now, I still get jealous every now and then because I always miss him.
I feel as though some guys can balance having both however, it is their girlfriends who are holding them back. The last thing you want to do is make your man feel smothered and distant from his friends. Guys need guy time to drink and be manly just as much as us women need to have brunch with our besties. So this how-to I came up with is not for men, it is for women.

1. Be flexible - *Scott and I have our weekends dedicated to each other because we do not live in the same state. Before I travel I ask him if he has any plans to make. Last week for example, he forgot about a dinner he had planned with his cousin. When speaking about my arrival I offered to come a day later so that he could hang out. I let him know we see each other quite often and I would not be hurt by not attending. By not crowding his space I allowed him to do something he wanted to do and when you aren't smothering your partner that makes them want you around. **I got invited for drinks following his dinner because he missed me.

2. Try not to be jealous and/or needy- I know it is so hard with today's social media not to know your boyfriends every step. You don't have to know everything he is doing every second. If he is out, don't invite yourself. *Scott has a habit of going out after work on occasion and posting his location on foursquare. I would get upset sometimes that I can't go or that he didn't tell me he is out. Keep in mind, you are not his mother so he doesn't have to check in with you. It is a huge turn off for men. Get yourself a life so you won't have to be so concerned with what he is doing every minute.

3. Don't take it personal - Just because he wants to have a night to himself doesn't mean he doesn't care, he just wants to lay around and do man things. Taking offense to him having "me" time can make you look needy and needy is never good.

I know I have guy readers so.. what am I missing? Ladies I would love to know what you would add.
