15 Things You Go Through When Your Best Friend Falls In Love

You were lying down on the bed on a lazy Saturday evening, your stomach full of good food and your mind full of peace and then suddenly your friend barges in.

He looks extremely excited and if he had a tail, it would have been wagging like a happy dog’s.

He then drops the bomb – “She said yes!”

“Hmm?”, your brain refuses to process this any further.

“I asked her out, and she said yes! I have a girlfriend now.”

You have that :O expression, and rightly so.

1. You are surprised that they GOT a boyfriend/girlfriend

How can YOU get a boyfriend/girlfriend? How? I thought you were going to be alone forever!

 

2. You try to feel happy for your friend

“I AM happy for you. Look at my dazzling smile that’s radiating all the happiness!”

 

3. But you suddenly feel jealous

You thought you were the “special” person in your friend’s life, not the new “girl/guy”!

 

4. You think that the boyfriend/girlfriend is kind of an asshole

“She looks so smug!”

“What an ass!”

All understandable.

 

5. They are spending too much time together

Too much time = ALL THE TIME.

 

6. And suddenly you are left with a lot of free time

No one left to hang out, you sadly sing “dost dost na raha, pyaar pyaar na raha…”

 

7. And the bae is ALWAYS there. ALWAYS.

And they are always in their PDA mode.

 

8. You wonder if your best friend is telling everything about You

As they get close and intimate, you wonder if your best friend is telling their bae everything about you.

 

9. You have to listen to their stories all the time

“Oh, that restaurant was so romantic!”

“Cool.” *trying to act interested*

 

10. You also become a love guru when you have to give them advice

When your friend has doubts, he/she will come to you for advice, because believe or not, you are still the go-to-guy for all their problems.

 

11. And you have to be there for them when they go through the rough patches

There’s going to be the lows too. Pseudo-breakups and all that. And you HAVE to be there to back your homie up.

 

12. Eventually, your friend’s bae also becomes a friend

There comes a time when you actually start liking the new person in your friend’s life. Turns out he/she is not an ass after at all.

 

13. And you feel happy for your friend.

Now that the bae of your friend is validated by you, you actually feel happy for your friend.

 

14. You realize that it has brought you closer to your friend than before

In normal circumstances, you never see the complete vulnerability in your friends. When they are in a relationship, you see all this, and somehow the bond strengthens further.

 

15. But you still have to make plans knowing that your friend is busy on the weekends

But, yeah. You still have to make new plans for the weekend.

Hey! Maybe they will include you and the three of you will have an awesome time! Please? No? OK. You can go play FIFA.
