why you should tell people and you have
a significant other and I don't mean
announcing it on Facebook or running
outside with a megaphone and obnoxiously
yelling it to your neighbors no I mean
be courteous let's say you're a guy and
you're out with your partner and
suddenly you run into a friend
you gotta introduce her as your
girlfriend or boyfriend whatever your
preference is I won't judge but don't
just be like oh this is my friend
Isabelle because one you're gonna make
her feel insignificant as if she's just
another girl and two unless you're
wearing a ring or practicing PDA you
might confuse other people who don't
like assuming relationship statuses
status hi
whatever let's say you went with a
friend introduction and your other
friends thinking skirl you kinda cute I
think i'ma holla hahahaha you can easily
avoid the kind of awkward situation if
you just told him in the first place
that she's unavailable unless he's a
dick and that doesn't stop him then I
don't know kick him in the balls or
something but yeah this is all because
one time I met this girl right she went
to my University she lived near the
campus so I'm thinking maybe I'll try to
get to know her now at first I wasn't
100% sure if she was single or not so I
tried manipulating our conversations and
be like lol we should grab a bite to eat
sometime but I don't want to get your
boyfriend jealous cuz that's what I do
assume they're taken and then let him
deny or approve my accusation and once I
get the okay swooped in for the kill but
not literally cuz with some people if
you blatantly ask are you taken they
might think you're up to something and
starts back off before you sexually
harass them don't want to blow right
away this is just level one this is just
a tutorial level come on anyway
every time I did things like that she'd
somehow change the subject or give me an
ambiguous answer like haha yeah the
Phillie eating out sounds good
like oh my gosh just just tell me
eventually we had a conversation and I
was straight up like so how's your love
life and she replied with honestly I
really don't think I want a boyfriend
right now
ah damn it so after that it kind of
drifted off and stopped talking to her
for like a week until one day she
contacted me and was all hey where you
been
we should go out for coffee Yoos so I
met up with her and when I got there
she's already bought my coffee for me I
was like how much was it and attempted
to pay her back but she rejected it and
said don't worry it found me
so we started talking at one point she
said I don't have that many friends in
the city because she was just there for
school I was like you should come over
sometime and keep me company inside my
head I'm like oh you and I'm giving
myself a brofist high-five
pat on the back yeah yeah yeah yeah and
after that coffee outing I met up with
my friend and I told him everything
anything he was all like yeah boy so now
I'm psyched I'm thinking this girl's
definitely into me I should come over
and play some Monopoly or something when
suddenly nope it's same night I get
online and I get a message from someone
I don't know sorry to break the news to
your man but insert name here hasn't
been single since you two met I don't
want to seem like the bad guy but you
need to back off what the so I call the
girl up and I'm thinking no more games
no more I asked do you have a boyfriend
apparently after our little outing she
went home that night and told her
boyfriend who lives out of town about
the coffee deal and he got pissed - told
you man jealous jelly doughnuts I found
out when she said she didn't want a
boyfriend she meant she wanted to dump
her current one because he's an
overprotective jerk but guess what to
this day they're still together we
stayed friends but things were still
kind of awkward and I voted further
hanging out with her alone with a
concern that her wilderbe used of the
boyfriend would come out of nowhere it's
not my neck that is why you should stay
in school wait no no no that's why you
should tell people when you're in a
relationship yeah
