Four Signs You're An Emotional Side Chick

So you haven't slept with him, you haven't made out, and you haven't held hands. When he texts you, you even jump at your phone to make sure you answer ALL of his texts within seconds of receiving them.

You know he is in a relationship, but you do not care because the idea of being with this guy who is CLEARLY playing you, keeps running through your mind like the perfect love story.

You find yourself thinking, "I haven't even touched him, so it's not really cheating right?" But unfortunately, it is.

You are his emotional side chick.

1. Not committing to plans made with friends.

Over the years, young women have made up their very own slogan in regards to young men and it goes a little something like "Chicks before d**ks." In college, most of the time your girls are the people (besides your family, of course) who truly have your back because let's face it, most guys in college are just looking to hit it and quit it. Therefore, if you're canceling plans on your friends every time he asks you to hang out, you REALLY need a reality check. A guy is never worth losing important friendships that have taken years to develop. Always remember that.

2. Getting all dolled up at 10 p.m. only for him to not show up.

    Sweetie, if he has a girlfriend and you only see him after 10 p.m., we have a serious problem. Being an emotional side chick is not classy. As a young woman, you should always keep it classy. Women all over the world are fighting for gender equality and it is hard enough for young women to be taken seriously professionally and socially. Therefore, let's start by respecting ourselves. You should NEVER want to degrade your body by being someone’s emotional side chick.

    3. When you're out he speaks to everyone BUT you.

    So you might try to make the case that you two are just friends, which is totally fine. The problem you run into is when you’re out in public and he doesn’t acknowledge your presence because you are non-existent to him. If he is embarrassed to acknowledge you in front of his friend and even his girlfriend, then I’m sorry, you are not friends. This is when it should be clear that you are, in fact, his emotional side chick.

    4. Obsessing over your "relationship."

    What relationship? No seriously. He has a girlfriend. You do not have a relationship. End of story.

    In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

    Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

    We are all more than just one sign.

    What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

    The Importance Of Being A Good Person

    An open letter to the good-hearted people.

    Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

    We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
