I stopped looking for a Dream Girl, I just wanted one that wasn’t a nightmare.
—CHARLES BUKOWSKI
But you aren’t the only one trying your hand at the love game! Your friends are starting to date potential life mates too.
. . . but why do our friends sometimes date people who suck? Like we all have that one friend in the friend group who just keeps bringing around the same type of wrong. Somebody who doesn’t get the jokes, doesn’t like the right music, has no life goals . . . the list goes on! But somehow this type of person keeps dating your dearest bud. (I actually think I’m that friend in my friend group . . . but I can see both sides!)
But then if they are actually your friends, why would they date someone who sucks? And if your friends suck . . . well, could that imply that you, yourself . . . might suck?
No, that is absolutely untrue. You do not suck. In fact, you rock.
Appearances are only skin deep, so the best way to determine if this interloper is down for a chill hang is to offer them a perfectly viable option for hosting a snack.
Cocktail
A chill beer. Because you’re having a chill hang.
Ingredients
* string cheese
Instructions
Put some string cheese on a plate and proudly announce to the room, “I made snacks!” If the individual in question declines your offer of perfectly acceptable string cheese . . . then kindly ask them to GTFO.
It’s hard when your friend dates someone who sucks. But the truth is that you don’t know the full extent of their relationship. I say offer your honest opinion of them! But keep an open heart. Sooner or later they will figure out what’s best for them.
Unless you are in a romantic comedy, because maybe then you are secretly in love with your BFF and OMG that’s my favorite sort of movie ever.
