It can be a challenge to balance a romantic relationship with your friendships.
A budding romance is an explosion of new emotion, excitement, and possibility.
Friendships can be more of a slow burn.
Unfortunately, they can be taken for granted a lot easier and set aside when convenient.
PDA to the max
We get it.
When you’re in a relationship, you want to put your face on the other person’s face.
But can you at least consider that maybe your friends don’t want to be your audience?
They need to save the making out and exclusive jokes for when they’re alone.
We don’t care what kind of stupid lingo you guys came up with on your own.
Can we all just agree to use our human names while we’re out in public?
Bonus points if you shame the couple by making fun of their silly nomenclature.
That doesn’t make you the lord of romance and a flawless matchmaker.
That’s why we hate it when a couple brags about how great their relationship is.
No one likes being reminded that they don’t have something that they want.
Being superglued to a partner can make a social event really awkward.
We get it it’s a comfort thing.
It makes us feel like we’re on a different team, and the less important one at that.
Relationship or not, you should be free to hang out with your friends if you’d like.
To some degree, it is understandable.
Falling off the face of the Earth
Couples are ostensibly together because they like each other.
It makes total sense they would want to spend a ton of time together.
You go from hanging out all the time to wondering if they still even exist in corporeal form.
