To My Guy Best Friend's Future Girlfriend,

You know me as the girl who Snapchats your boyfriend all the time. I'm the one who seems to have known him forever. I knew him when he was an awkward high schooler when he had never tasted beer when he thought he was going to be forever alone. I heard about you from the moment he laid eyes on you and I hoped as much as he did that you noticed him too. If he's reading this with you, he's probably barfing, because we don't like to be romantic and cheesy.

But I hope he is with you.

I hope you have silly adventures, like going to McDonald's with him at 4 a.m. just to get Big Macs.

I hope he gives you a nickname that is better than mine.

I hope you like him even when he forgets to shave.

I hope he tells you about his deepest fears.

I hope he takes you on expensive dates, but I hope you have just as much fun on the spontaneous hangouts that don't cost a thing.

I hope you laugh at his jokes. Even if he says something like "You know what else is intense? Camping."

I hope he will call me to tell how much he loves you, instead of how much he hates being single.

I hope you'll make him happy.

I hope he tells you that you're beautiful and I hope he knows that he deserves you.

I hope he puts in a lot of effort for you. I hope he gets to the point where he doesn't have to ask me if it would be weird to bring you flowers.

I hope you appreciate him for all that he is, good and bad.

I hope you make him forget the girls who came before you.

I hope he trusts you enough to tell you all of his embarrassing stories.

I hope we become friends. I hope you will come to me if you need me. But know I'll always be on his side, even when I don't agree with his actions. Because he's one of my best friends.

I hope you become his best friend. I know it'll be hard to be replaced, but he needs you. I care about him a lot, but I know you'll care more, and that's pretty awesome.

See, we don't like to be romantic and cheesy because we're bros. I may be a girl but I'm not a threat. We've been through a lot and had each other's backs for what seems like forever. He was my best friend. And now he's your best friend. I hope you don't change the way he is. Because I enjoy having him as a friend and knowing him as a person. But if he does change for you, I hope it's for the better and I hope he is truly happy.

Like I said, I'm always going to care about him, but I know he's in good hands.

So here's to you two, I wish you the best.
