A different kind of 'breaking in' story could be when a new boyfriend is introduced to his girlfriend's group of friends. At first, he might feel a bit out of place, especially if the group has known each other for a long time. But then, they start to include him in their conversations and activities. Maybe they play some team - based games, and he shows his competitive side, which makes the friends respect and like him more. This process helps him become more integrated into her social circle.
