7 Pros And Cons Of Having A Guy Best Friend

It is ridiculous that in this day and age, a girl can no longer be just friends with a guy. I mean there is a definable difference between boyfriend and boy friends.

It's honestly sad and funny when some people cannot tell the difference. I have one boyfriend who has been just my friend for 11 years. Throughout all that time we never dated we were and always have been extremely content with being just friends.

Of course, with every relationship/friendship there are their Pros and Cons:

1. Pro: Good fashion advice

What better than getting advice from a person who knows exactly what a guy wants? This way, you get it without all the sexual tension you would get from any other guy.

2. Con: They are always jealous of other guys.

When it comes to having other guy friends, you have to a make sure they all get along. Otherwise....well, you will have WWIII everyday.

3. Pro: You always have a fake boyfriend.

Boys will be boys, so if they see you are in trouble they will do everything to protect you. For instance, if you had a creepy guy or girl (whatever you fancy) who you want to get rid of, a guy friend can play the part to get them to leave you alone. Even if, say, you have an event. They will do that, too, only because you would do that for them as well.

4. Con: People always believe you're dating.

My friend and I last year started working together, and now all our co-workers always think we are together together. It can honestly become extremely annoying because if you hug for too long, if you hi-five and your hands are touching for too long...if anything happens for too long, you're "dating" and it's tiresome to keep repeating that you're not.

5. Con: You always run out of food.

Trust and believe I have never understood how boys eat for 1 like they're eating for 20. I mean I've hung out with plenty of guys just to hang out. If you order take out you better order extra everything.If you don't, you will have nothing for yourself.

6. Pro: You are never alone.

Boys will always say they're so macho and strong, but just like us they get bored very easily. So if they truly are your #bestie they will always be down for movie night and pizza.

7. Pro and Con: You will always have to play activities that you may or may not want to play.

I'm always down to try new things -- growing up with guys, I am bomb at football, but when they want to go into all the technicalities, I'm Just like who are you talking to??? It can't be me?!?!??!?!?!

All in all your Best Friend is your Person, whether they be a boy or a girl.

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.

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.
