WHEN YOUR BEST FRIEND FALLS IN LOVE Posted on March 11, 2016
Whenever your best friend is in a relationship, you are also there along with her through every phase. Whether it is lending an ear or your partywear, or a hand to help her get up and move on, here are some developments that women with BFFsinlove will recognize.
1. You become the designated cyberstalker.
During the early phase when your friend has *just* begun to have feelings, you are the goto Sherlock Holmes – that is, if Holmes lived in 2016 and knew the ins and outs of social networks.
No photos and posts publicly visible are safe from you – pictures with hot women and opinions on current affairs are investigated for red flags, and findings are presented before the relationship even begins.
2. You are a 24×7 editor. Every message sent to the boy is seen by you for approval – and you are consulted about what is an appropriate interval for responses. And you could write a thesis on male subtext after
going through WhatsApp screenshots of their conversations and debating the meaning of cryptic messages.
3. Your BFF is always on the phone.
It is meant to be a girls’ night out after a long time, but your friend has just begun dating and her eyes are glued to her phone. Her mysterious smiles at her device do not seem like an appropriate response to your venting about office woes.
4. You have to hide your giggles when you meet the boy finally… … because you know all about his kissing technique and have seen his school avatar of a wannabe Salman Khan from Tere Naam.
5. You are an oncall stylist.
Before important dates in the initial phase of the relationships, your friend WhatsApps you photos of her outfit for a thumbs up or a doover. You are the only one who introduced her to fashion website like Bling Station and saved her shopping time outdoor. Now instead of hogging with shopkeepers she is always holding hands with her beau.
6. You learn to give silent threats. Your BFF brings out the protective instincts in you, and you know how to give a don’tmesswithmyfriendorIwilldumpyourbodywherenoonecanfindit look with a smile.
7. You get caught up in the magic too!
Especially if your love life is pretty much nonexistent… It’s a double treat to see your BFF happy *and* get to live vicariously through her stories.
