When your best friend gets a boyfriend/girlfriend it's easy to say that everything is fine and dandy. You hide the fact that you're slowly dying on the inside because they aren't fully devoted to the plans that you've set up, your random 3 a.m. phone calls, and your plans to take over the world together as "the two best friends there ever were." Okay I'm half kidding, but it is a big transition when your bestie suddenly brings someone else into your powerhouse duo.
The third wheeling starts off as a few casual outings where you laugh at old stories and pretend that you aren't really crashing a date. You join in on going to see movies because "you wanted to see it too" and dinner dates because "you've been craving that lately." Over time it slowly turns into the awkward realization that you're just the random third person at all the outings. While you may be thinking that you're just slipping under the radar, this is probably what you actually look like as a third wheel.
Maybe it started at a young age...
...and maybe it happened at prom.
Sometimes it even happens in your favorite TV shows and movies.
Who knows, the third wheel curse may have even followed you to college.
However, nothing will top the level of third wheeling like this guy. At least you haven't reached what seems to be life long third wheeling.
If you do happen to be the third wheel of your best friend's relationship, perhaps you could start documenting the three of y'all's adventures. Who knows, you might end up having a famous Instagram account. If you want to see the MVP of third wheeling, check out "IMNOTATHIRDWHEEL's" Instagram. I promise lots of laughs. You won't be sorry.
