Boys with Girlfriends

With the new school year just starting it's time to meet some new faces. Basically it's time for us as nuns to get it together and find out who is available and who is not. At a church activity this one girl went to every single table and asked which guys were single. I think most people thought her forward nature was tactless; but, maybe she has a point. One thing I have learned about boys is that they are naturally secretive and sneaky. If you want to get to know something about a boy, you will have to drag it out of him. Generally most guys will not bring up the fact that they are in a relationship; it is just something that doesn’t come up. Maybe they think that if they bring it up that the girl will think that he is implying that he knows she is interested in him. Thus, bringing up the girlfriend will be insensitive to her feelings and trying to shut her down will cause a reaction of being labeled as a douche. Well let me tell you something boys; it is better to be shut down immediately than to develop a friendship with you. I know too many girls who have fallen victim by being cast as a friend with a boy who as a girlfriend. Luckily I’ve never encountered such a problem. Why?

Because I know better than to be friends with boys with girlfriends. There are two exceptions to the rule. First if you are mutual friends with both of them; but, this might become awkward if they confide with you about the relationship. Second, if you were friends with the boy first. This exception tends to be the gray area as I don’t think most girlfriends would be happy if their boyfriend spends time with a female friend. Even if the relationship was completely platonic, it just wouldn’t work. Lesson to boys: when you get a girlfriend, they become the best friend. This means you cannot go around trying to make friends with other girls. I mean honestly what is the point of that? Do you really dislike the company of your own girlfriend that you require other girls to fill some sort of void? Obviously there is something missing in the relationship and you're not going to solve it by befriending a girl. This doesn’t mean that you can't be friendly with girls, but you certainly cannot develop a friendship with a girl. You might as well dig a grave for yourself. So do us all a favor and be straight forward: tell us that you have a girlfriend and that will be that.
