So. don't take all the responsibility if he's being a bit anti-social. if he's bored, he'll need to be doing something about it, even if it means getting out on his own. You're his girlfriend, not his nanny!
My thoughts exactly. Of course you care about him, and so you want him to be happy. But he has to take the responsibility of making a life for himself, well himself.
That said, I also agree that it's a good idea for the three of you to hang out together. Like lurkette said, there are plenty of free activities you could explore. The more time you all spend together, I think the relationship between your boyfriend and friend will naturally improve. I hope it all works out for you!
