I wouldn't say that I'm extremely popular, nor would I say I have a TON of friends (outside of my family). But, that's all good with me. I like to keep my circle small. A few girls that I know I can truly count on, as well as a couple of guys that have always had my back. But, there is one person in particular that I believe every girl should have, my best guy friend.
No, we've never dated. No, we'll probably not ever date. But, do we have a pact that we'll get married if we don't find someone by 32? We certainly do. Do I love him unconditionally? Always.
Every girl needs a boy best friend. They need someone who they don't have to have more than a friendship with; someone who they don't have to worry about making moves on them. Someone who will protect them no matter what, someone to give them a hard time, but support them in every way.
Having a boy best friend is a necessity for a girl, and here are 11 reasons to prove my point.
1. He isn't dramatic
We, as women, are incredibly dramatic and I wouldn't change that for the world. But, having a guy best friend to contrast your drama with his calmness, that's fantastic.
2. He'll let you in on all of the "guy code secrets"
This is one of my favorites. I LOVE getting the inside scoop of how guys think and act.
6. He'll support you and your boyfriend
He won't try and "steal you away," he's just happy that you're happy. And if you're lucky, maybe they'll even become best friends!
7. He will also beat the snot out of him if he screws up
It's really his biggest and most important job.
8. He knows how to make you feel better
It's nice being able to rant to your girl friends, but he'll be ready to take you out shopping for ice-cream if need be.
9. He'll tell you when you're wrong
This one isn't my favorite...but it is rather important.
10. Marriage pacts
This is my personal favorite. Who wouldn't want a back up marriage plan?
11. He is the Jim to your Pam
I know what you're thinking, "They are definitely more than friends!" But, they did start out as best friends, sending each other high fives across the reception desk. Your boy best friend will be the Jim to your Pam, someone to keep you straight and to keep you grounded in all the chaos.
Boy best friends are literally the best. I can speak from experience, they truly do make your life much easier and who doesn't want that?
Having someone to make things less complicated, less dramatic, and support you in all that you do is life changing. Every girl has their girl besties, but a guy who only wants to be your friend is something very important.
And to my boy best friend:
You have been a huge part of my life. Somehow, some way our paths were meant to cross and I'm certainly glad they did. I don't know what I would do without you by my side, pushing me to be the best that I can be, but also being able to manage my dramatic self.
While you do wish to remain anonymous, you know who you are and I hope this puts a smile on your face and helps you start out the new year great.
Love,
Your favorite little psychopath.
