Gatsby has become very close friends with Nick sharing his most intimate secrets. It is no surprise that Nick stands up and takes care of Gatsby just as he knows Gatsby would have done for him; but in truth and fact, it was Nick he trusted more than anyone else. He was like family. And the guest, the only most important guest is Gatsby's poor father.
In Chapter 4 of "The Great Gatsby," Gatsby invites Nick and Daisy to his mansion for lunch. Daisy is hesitant at first, but Nick convinces her to go. Gatsby hopes that this meeting will give him an opportunity to reconnect with Daisy and show off his wealth and luxurious lifestyle.
Nick advises Gatsby not to try to repeat the past with Daisy, as he cannot recreate what they had before. He also warns Gatsby about the dangers of pursuing an idealized version of Daisy that may not exist. Ultimately, Nick encourages Gatsby to let go of his obsession with Daisy and move on.
Gatsby reveals to Nick that he comes from a wealthy family in the Midwest, but that he lost his family fortune and had to start from scratch. He also tells Nick that he served in the military during World War I and attended Oxford after the war.
Nick gave Daisy and Gatsby thirty minutes to meet. When he returns Daisy's face is tear stained and Jay Gatsby is glowing happily.

Nick is primarily a static character in "The Great Gatsby" as he remains consistent in his moral values and role as a narrator throughout the novel. However, his views on Gatsby do evolve causing some to argue for a dynamic nature. One quote highlighting Nick's development is “Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther... And then one fine morning-- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
Jordan Baker is the golf player involved with Nick, the narrator of The Great Gatsby. She is attractive with gray-blue eyes and a high-held chin. She is also a liar, and is said to cheat at golf.
Nick Weir has: Played himself in "Give Us a Clue" in 1978. Played himself in "Blankety Blank" in 1979. Played Himself - Presenter in "Catch Phrase" in 1986. Played Himself - Host in "Waffle" in 1998. Played Presenter in "Grudge Match" in 2000.
In the beginning of the story, Nick seems to portray Gatsby as a very charismatic person. That entire paragraph of his smile should give it away. Going into a little detail, Nick talks about how Gatsby's smile makes the people he smiles to "feel as if they were picked out from thousands" or something to that effect. Guessing that Nick believes Daisy's living situation brainwashed Gatsby, he holds onto this (somewhat broken, yet not entirely a 'bad guy' per sey ) image of Gatsby. There's a quote from Nick that states something along the lines of, "You are worth more than the bunch of them." (Them, meaning Daisy, Tom, Jordan and the numerous others of the "old wealth" lifestyle.) Even though Nick says such a line doesn't mean the man doesn't look down upon Gatsby. In my opinion, Nick is somewhat flawed narrator/character (which is a whole different matter, I understand) and must see (because Gatsby doesn't give up on Daisy when Nick himself can see it will never work out) that Gatsby is a pathetic human, letting this circus of an obsession take over. Some of this may be biased...I'm no critic, just an eleventh grader who just read the book :) I personally do not like the character Gatsby, and do believe that Nick was an "active participant" who tries to make it seem like he's some po-dunk kid from the Midwest when he's obviously smarter than that (and knows what he's doing...)
