Gateway Friend

That one friend of the group you want to be a part of, may be the ugly one or fat one. They instantly accept you due to low self esteem and you then take steps to move from fatty or ugly to the attractive ones or fun ones.

Gateway Friends

People that you are only friends with because they are close friends with one of your friends.

Hey are you hanging with Jack?

No! Him and I are only gateway friends. I would only hang with him if Tony was here.
