So pretty much I feel like it is boyfriend season and I am the only one not invited to the holiday block party. Yes I am super happy for my friends who have a special someone because they are awesome and deserve it and all of that good stuff, but imma just say I am HELLA GLAD I am on the other side of the world because if I was home, while all of my besties have boyfriends, I might go a little stir crazy. So I have put together a fun little list of some tips to help those who spend their weekend nights alone, their wallpapers are not a cute selfie of them and a boy, and the closest thing they get to romance is watching "Dirty Dancing" on replay. If you are Seriously Single, then stay tuned.
TIP NUMBER ONE: Invest in Netflix, and find your show. You might be continuously bailed on for several weekend nights in a row, so it is time to find a show that you can get your social fix from. Trust me, it very well is possible to have a good Friday night by staying in with a smoothie and binge watching Greys Anatomy.
TIP NUMBER TWO: Be ready for cute boyfriend stories. If you are ever lucky enough to find someone who doesn't just want to hookup, someone who wants to want you and someone that you want to want, you are going to want someone to spill all of the cutesy and cheesy details too- so listen when your friend wants to gush about the flowers her boyfriend he got her and she will want to talk about how he texts her goodmorning, so be a good friend and think it is cute, because it is.
TIP NUMBER THREE: Maybe get a boyfriend so you aren't the seriously single friend.
TIP NUMBER FOUR: Be ready for moodswings about your besties beau, because you will have to love how nice and sweet and cute he is to your person one day, but be ready to chop off his head when he does something stupid the next. And then the next day you will listen to more stories about how he is so cute and good to her, just go along with it because one day you will be that girl complaining and gushing about your boyfriend- I promise you, and I promise that you will want a best friend to listen and agree with you. And never say "I told you so."
TIP NUMBER FIVE: Understand that you will no longer be your best friends best friend on snapchat, sad :-(
TIP NUMBER SIX: This is important, when you are lonely and sad and feel like eating three pints of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey, ONLY EAT ONE. Or none, but probably only one because when you are done you will only still feel sad about being single, but also feel gross because your tummy is filled with fat that will go straight to your legs.
TIP NUMBER SEVEN: Learn how to do things alone. Not only is it good to be independent before jumping into a relationship, but when you have a best friend it seems you two do everything together. Best friends share toothpaste, clothes and stories, and now your best friend's best friend will be her boyfriend, so learn to be independent. Learn to shop at Target alone, learn to go get takeout for one, but don't forget how to do it for two- incase she ever needs a break from her boy ;-)
TIP NUMBER EIGHT: Don't get mad at your bestie for spending all of her time with her boyfriend, as much as you want to be her number one, when you're in the start of a relationship that boy is everything to you, he lights up the sky and makes you feel a happiness you didn't think was possible. Anyone who truly cares for their best friend will want this for their bestie- because a part of being a golden good friend is wanting their happiness too. She will come around and learn how to manage her time, but be patient, because when you have a boyfriend you might spend a bit too much time with your boyfriend too.
TIP NUMBER NINE: DONT TALK CRAP ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS BOYFRIEND TO THEM OR ANYONE ELSE!!!! Yes being single sucks, but want to know what makes it more sucky, having an angry best friend on top of being single, DOUBLE WHAMMY. If you don't like them together, unless he's physically harming her or cheating on her or just seriously doing her wrong, then step in. Let her make her own mistakes, be her own person. Yes it sucks to foreshadow the downfall of a relationship but it is her heart and her decision, she knows how much heartbreak she can handle.
TIP NUMBER TEN: Fill your new empty space with LOTS OF CUTE BOYS. I am not suggesting one should drop their best friend, but when she is out with her boyfriend maybe take that time to get to know that cute boy across the street. ;-)
Just some thoughts.
xoxo
