He's Cool, Nice, Tall BUT He's In Your Friend Group So Avoid Dating Him Like Plague For These 7 Reasons

In This Article:

Sometimes it's inevitable. That one guy friend you have is really cool, nice, tall (don't pretend this isn't a factor), and fun, and maybe you're catching feels. It might seem like a good idea, after all, you were friends first and probably know a lot about each other. But before you fall head over heels for a guy in your friend group, stop and think because it could be a lot more complicated than you think.

Here's a list of seven things to think about before you agree to that date...

1. You’re friends might be weird about it

Let's face it. You're friends are there for you and will support you, but, if your both in the same friend group, things might be kind of weird.

2. The group dynamic of may change

Your friends might not know how to act now that two of their friends are together. So, the group dynamic might change. Maybe you and your new bae will not be invited to as much or maybe not. Either way, it's still something to consider.

3. You’re going to see you new boyfriend constantly

Because a night in with your pals will probably include him, and it could be a constant cuddle sesh that you either love or hate. Just sayin'

4. You might break up… and still have to see him!

Which means you're going to have to deal with it all the damn time!

5. Your friends might have to pick sides and it might get personal

Naturally, your friends will want to be there for both of you, but they just might accidentally pick sides. That's just awkward for everyone.

6. You might lose friends

This goes back to number 5. If a friend takes his side over yours, chances are you all won't be friends anymore. No one wants to deal with a friend breakup on top of the original break up.

7. Your close guy friend won't be your friend anymore

Because you dated him! There's a good chance that, even if you try to make it work, your friendship won't survive the break up.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
