Each and every person at sometime in their life has been the only single person in their group of friends. We all complain about how the opposite sex is dumb and doesn't understand to how treat you, but then we want that pure love and affection that we crave. On the other hand, sometimes our friends try to meddle in the process of finding the single person a new love, and sometimes they really shouldn't. Here are 17 experiences that every single person in a group of friends has dealt with:
1. You only get calls to hang out when your friends' significant others are out of town.
2. You have to put up with the fights that occur between your friends' and their significant other in public. The worst part is if they tried and ask you to take sides on the matter. Honestly, like please figure it out for yourself and don't involve anyone else. I don't need that drama.
3. You get jealous when your friends get the two-for-one deal at a restaurant. Like I understand your together and you wanna save money, but you don't see any three-for-ones.
4. When you spot someone who doesn't seem taken but then their partner shows up. I mean really, give me a break.
5. You Facebook feed starts over flowing with pictures of weddings, engagements, presents from significant other, romantic dinners and babies.
6. Your taken friends like to go to parties early and leave before it even gets good. And by that, I mean before anyone worth your time to talk to can get there.
7. They encourage you to keep looking for that "special someone" because "he's out there somewhere." Ummm girl please, you're just trying to make me feel better about being alone while you are blissfully happy in a relationship.
8. You suddenly become known as the single one of the group.
9. Your friends always give you a disgusted look when you tell them you hooked up with someone from Tinder. Okay, it's not necessarily ideal but lets be real, they would do it too if they were single.
10. Sometimes when your out with your friends and their partners you are left to dance and drink alone in a corner.
11. If a wedding pops up, you are always stuck trying to find someone to pair up with you. Plus, I'm pretty sure that the whole bouquet throwing thing has some type of magnetic field on the single person in the group trying to catch it. All right universe, we get what your trying to say!
12. Always feel like a third wheel no matter how close you all are.
13. They always introduce you to new people and try to set you up with work colleagues, neighbors and even random people.
14. At the end of the night, you will still go home, alone.
15. If you can finally get your best friend to go out for drinks with you, their significant other automatically thinks you're a bad influence. That's funny because last time I checked, I am the best friend and I was first; plus, who do you think will be here for her when you leave? So byyyyeeee :)
16. When that one serious couple that have been together for a few years start talking about marriage, engagements, and babies?! Dude, slow down and step back. We don't need to be making any harsh decisions right now!
17. At the end of the day however, when that power couple breaks up and your friend in left brokenhearted, you will be the one they turn to and will be the welcoming single shoulder to cry on every time.
