Sometimes, you just end up being the single friend. Sometimes, it's awkward to hang out with your BFF and her BF, but if you have good friends...being the third wheel is completely fine. Here are the top five perks of third wheeling with your best friend and her boyfriend.

1. You always have an unbiased male perspective. Your girl friends can say whatever they want, but it's always helpful to have a guy friend to tell you that you're totally overthinking that guy not texting you back.

2. He'll carry things for you. But really...your best friend is probably just as weak as you are. Honestly, if he's a gentleman, you won't even have to ask...he'll probably just offer to carry things. Always be thankful for your extra source of labor.

3. Two best friends in one. Before my best friend started dating her boyfriend, I knew him but didn't hang out with him regularly. Now, they've been dating for two years, and I consider him one of closest friends!

4. Friend d8s. I mean, if you're crashing a date, might as well make it more fun. Ideas include: going to see Finding Dory together. I'm definitely not speaking from experience. Probably.

5. You know what you want in a relationship. If he treats your girl right, you'll see it. That's the kind of guy you'll be more likely to date later on, because you've seen it firsthand.

There's nothing wrong with a little third wheeling, right? That's what I keep telling myself, anyway...
