7 Annoying Things That Best Friends Do When They Start Dating

Love can be a magical thing. Just not when it happens to your best friend and leaves you watching from the sidelines.

Considering how forgiving you’ve been about your best friend breaking their oath to the eternal bachelorhood, they’d return the favor by not rubbing it in your face that they’ve found an awesome new partner. Or so you’d think. Much as you love your bestie and much as you love the fact that they’ve found love, here’s a list of seven annoying things that happen when your best friend start dating:

They begin making out. A lot. In front of you.

You’ve suddenly lost all interest in Sunny Leone because you have the real thing playing out right next to you.

All of your conversations suddenly revolve around how awesome their new boyfriend / girlfriend is.

Which you, as a supportive friend, would be totally interested in. IF you hadn’t heard it 958376 times before already.

You begin to feel eerily like a third wheel

Which can’t be true, because you’ve known your bestie since forever. So by all rights, if anyone who should be feeling left out, it should be the new boyfriend.

They suddenly develop a whole new language of inside references 

How is a handful of weeks enough to develop a world of inside jokes anyway?

You get accused of being jealous

Things keep boiling up until your brain finally refuses to listen to the same story for the 958377th time and you have it out with your bestie who promptly accuses you of being jealous. What else are you supposed to be when some random person comes along and steals your bestie from you? 

You develop a newfound urge to date someone

And make out till kingdom come in front of your bestie. And it’s absolutely not because you want revenge. 

The new boyfriend begins popping up on every ‘besties only’ date you plan

What part of ‘just the two of us’ included an invitation for the dreaded boyfriend to pile along? Isn’t 23 hours a day together enough?

Of course, deep down you know that like all other flings your bestie has had, this one will get ‘flung’ as well and you’re stocking up on ice cream and tissues for when that happens. And just in case he doesn’t, you’ve been practicing your interested look as well, for when the same story of his sheer awesomeness gets repeated yet again. After all, that’s what best friends are for!
