How can I impress his friends when I meet them for the first time?
There are plenty of ways you can impress a group of boys.
Cooking them hot dogs, doing a spot of juggling, or fire-eating. In fact, why not just offer them a crisp? They'll love you. If any of these activities resemble normal behaviour for you, go for it. If not, maybe think twice before going all out to make a grand entrance.
Boys can be an intimidating bunch, but if there's one thing we like, it's talking to girls. We might be shy or even rude around them at first, but we're easily won over. All you need to do is be approachable and friendly. Boys rarely meddle in each other's relationships, but we can resent it when one of our crew is stolen by a chick. Your main task is not to upset the matey vibe. If that means getting beaten 12-0 on ISS Pro Soccer, so be it.
The one thing you should avoid is hogging him. It might be a natural instinct to cling to him, but if you try to get involved it'll be appreciated. He'll prefer it too, because it will free him up to chat to his mates. Plus, if they don't get to know you they'll base their whole opinion of you on how you look.
It's not the most original advice, but just be yourself. Unless you're horrible, in which case pretend to be someone nicer. You could start by getting the hot dogs on.
Please remember: Kev is not an expert, he is just a boy and sometimes quite a silly boy. The main thing to remember when it comes to lads and relationships is to expect respect as the absolute minimum. Find out more about a Women's Aid campaign of the same name.
