Sometimes I feel like the guys in my life just don't get enough credit for everything that they do, because truly, every girl needs a guy best friend who has no complaints about permanently being in the friend-zone. As an only child, my guy best friends are the closest thing I have to brothers, and I'm thankful for them every day. So here's to you guys. Thanks for just always being you.
Dear best guy friends,
Thank you for always telling me how it is, and never sugar coating anything. Thank you for posing for all my Snapchat stories and Instagram-worthy pictures, even though you think my social media obsession is stupid. Thank you for telling me honestly what outfit looks best, and giving me the male perspective on my fashion sense (even if I don't always agree with it). Thank you for always being my go-to for advice when it comes to the male species, and helping me try to understand why boys can be so stupid.
Thank you for approving my texts to other guys and making sure I never come off sounding like a crazy person. Thank you for always standing up for me and defending me against the boys that didn't treat me right. Thank you for always being my date to an event when I didn't have anyone else to take. Thank you for telling me when my hair looks good, even when you have no idea why it looks different.
Thank you for always responding to my drunk texts with an even drunker one that's bound to make me laugh out loud. Thank you for keeping the creepy guys away when we go out together and always playing my "fake boyfriend." Thank you for trying to give me a clue about what goes on in the male brain, even when I still don't get it and probably never will.
Thank you for all of the fun and drama-free nights out. Thank you for always being down to go out and drink or try a new bar. Thank you for asking me what I think about the girls in your life and trusting my opinion on them. Thank you for coming to me for advice and listening to what I have to say – at least some of the time. Thank you for being my wingman when we go out and always giving me that extra confidence boost I need to talk to a cute boy I have my eye on. Thank you for providing me with hours of entertainment and laughs. Thank you for making me watch new movies and TV shows I never would have known about or considered watching on my own. Thank you for always supporting me and being there for me in the hard times. Thank you for not calling me out when I pretend to care about sports, just so I can participate in the tailgate or watch party activities. Thank you for always asking, "Was he mean to you?" when I tell you something didn't work out with the latest guy. Thank you for making up funny nicknames for my exes. Thank you for proving to me that not all guys suck and that there's still a few good ones out there. Thank you for putting up with me after all of these years. Thank you for being the brothers I never had.
