10 Reasons Every Girl Needs a Boy Best Friend

Every girl who has a boy best friend knows it's the best kind of friendship. It's just like having another brother who's there to take care of you, make fun of you, and make you laugh when you need it the most. There's no reason why you shouldn't have a boy best friend, but here are 10 reasons why you should.

1. First and foremost, they're protective.

Like I said, having a boy best friend is like having a brother. And brothers are always looking out for their sisters. They're here to protect us in this cold world in which we live.

2. They bring you back to reality.

Let's face it, we're girls—we can be a little overdramatic. They let us know when we're acting crazy.

3. They offer insight you don't have.

They know boys—they are boys. They'll be straight up about a guy you're interested in and they'll explain the way boys think.

4. You get the chance to just be a dude.

Nobody chills harder than boys. Just sit back, watch a stupid movie with them, and enjoy the simplicity.

5. They're not judgmental.

For once, you don't have to worry about what you're wearing and putting makeup on. They couldn't care less about how dolled up you are.

6. They aren't afraid to be honest.

We gossip all of the time; the boys I know couldn't care less about who's dating whom and who's no longer friends. They'll tell you when you're being stupid and petty.

7. You get to laugh at them and their friends.

Listening to boys having a conversation is fun all in itself. They are so simple and so savage at the same time; they're not afraid of saying anything. Just sit back and listen for your enjoyment.

8. You can use them to get rid of a creeper.

People already assume you're a couple when you go out in public. Hang around them all night and the creeper will most likely assume the same thing and move on.

9. You can make fun of each other with zero consequences.

A lot of the friendship is giving each other crap for stupid things. It's fun and actually endearing.

10. Last but not least, you've got a friend for life.

The bond between a girl and her boy best friend cannot be broken; it is one of the truest friendships. Congratulations, you have a brother and a best friend for life.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
