14 Relationship Struggles As Told By "Friends" And "How I Met Your Mother"
Be Awesome Instead

As a 22-year-old college graduate, I’ve had my share of highs and lows in dating and relationships, as most people do. I’ve been in good relationships that I’ve screwed up and good relationships that ended out of nowhere.

As a huge fan of "Friends" and "How I Met Your Mother", I have been able to notice some moments that have been a perfect explanation for certain moments during my dating history. Therefore, here are 14 of those moments where these two shows have perfectly explained my situations I’ve encountered.

1. When I had my first girlfriend in college

.

2. My explanation for why I’ve stopped talking to some of the girls I’ve dated.

3. When I’ve been single for awhile and start to see overly affectionate couples in public.

4. Whenever a girl has shown any interest in me.

5. Every time a girl has stopped replying to me.

6. When I start to want a relationship again even though I still need a break.

7. When I start to question why I can’t keep a relationship.

8. When I met the woman I thought I was going to marry

.

9. But then the breakup was mutual.

10. When I say the wrong things to girls 95% of the time because I have no filter.


11. When I realized I needed to stop trying to get back with my ex but have no other words for her……..or myself

.


12. When you're the guy that actually likes talking about feelings.


13. My pep talks to myself when a hot girl is attracted to me

.


14. Some words of wisdom to my future wife out there.

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
