Hmmmmmm
I'm going to go against the grain here.
I don't think the guy needs to be red flagged for this. I think he's just someone whose trying to hard to keep everyone happy.
Basically, I think the dude should just grow some balls. If you guys want to be together then you should be able to be together open and honestly. If his "friends" can't deal with that, that is seriously their problem, not yours, and not his.
The idea of lying to everyone to keep the peace is a bit cowardly though, he sounds like he needs a bit more self confidence.
Like others have suggested, talk to him about this. Gritting your teeth and bearing it isn't fair at all. You guys need to talk about this and you need to make your feelings on this known.
But yeah, he doesn't sound like he's a bad guy, he just need to learn to stand up for his own interests, and he needs to consider you interests and feelings a bit more as well.
