3rd Wheel: The Rules About Social Interactions With Singles

Posted: March 9th, 2009 | Author: Dave | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: couple, couples, relationships, single | 10 Comments »

Last night a couple of my friends asked me if I wanted to go to a bar and have a few drinks. Naturally I acquiesced and met up with them later that night. I was running a bit late so when I arrived they were already there. Except they weren’t alone…they had brought their new girlfriends along. Thanks, douchebags. This is fucking ideal. I went from being “one of the guys” to now the “5th person” on a double date. Ridiculous.

Time to go over the rules since it appears not everyone understands the subtleties of social interaction between single people and couples. There are some simple but very fundamental rules to follow when you couples mingle with single people.

Note: These are rules with respect to men. I don’t know the rules women have when it comes to this shit.

When it’s OK to hang out with your single friend:

When your girlfriend isn’t there
When your girlfriend is there, but she brought her hot friend
When your girlfriend is there but you’re going to a party where there will be numerous hot single chicks
When you’re also single

When it’s NOT OK to hang out with your single friend

Any. Other. Time.
Seriously, any other time is not acceptable

Steve thinks your a sack of shit, Gary

The less time single guys spend hanging out with inaccessible women the better. It’s really a massive waste of his time to hang out with you and your girlfriend. He doesn’t need a constant visual reminder that you’re getting some tonight. This is time he could spend picking up chicks or, if all else fails, wanking into a sock while watching America’s Top Model.

That is all.

I completely agree. Every time that a friend gets married/otherwise attached, I feel like I lose a friend. I guess the moral of the story is that being in love turns people into stupid assholes who are oblivious to their surroundings.
