Gin's kind of a werid you love it or you hate it kind of alcohol. It's not shootable, either, so if you have friends who like drinking it you can't kind of throw it back and bite a lime/lemon like you can with tequila and vodka.
Very few people are into drinking straight gin, though, so you don't really need to worry about acquiring a taste for gin without some tonic or ginger ale or something. There's a reason vodka has replaced gin in the martini for much of the drinking world: it's a hell of a lot easier to drink. Us stalwart few who like our alcohol to taste like our backyards will continue to drink it by the gallon, though.
