Before we (somehow) found a guy to put up with us, we had each other. We only had each other to laugh with, eat with, cry with, nap with, and have meaningless conversations with.
Just because we have someone else does not mean that it changes anything with us. I still proudly claim that I am dating you, too.
However, here are a few things I need to thank my "boyfriends" before my boyfriend for.
1. Buying me pizza after I spent too much money at the bar.
2. Watching "our show" in our biggest hoodies and sweatpants.
3. Making dinner (all the time).
I am the man in this situation.
4. Boosting my self-confidence by telling me when I look good.
5. And, telling me when I don't.
6. Suffering with me after too many shots.
7. Breaking it down with me at the bar.
8. Letting me vent to you about things you do not necessarily understand.
9. Sending me goodnight texts when we are apart.
10. Voluntarily watching sappy, romantic movies with me.
11. Listening to my post-bar gibberish about things that won't actually matter the next morning.
12. Weirdly always thinking the same thing I am.
13. Being the first person I call when I need a drink.
14. Understanding me when I'm in a bad mood.
15. Sharing favorite songs, foods, movies, activities, etc.
16. Fitting into my family.
17. Taking couple-y pictures with me.
18. Inviting me as your plus one.
19. Giving me the best advice.
20. Being my favorite third wheel.
Even though my boyfriend probably feels like the actual third wheel.
