This one is for all the newly minted lovers in the house.
1. No-one knows what the hell is going on
Do you call? Does he call? Are you supposed to spend all your time together? Where do your friends fit in all this? Can you stop wearing your good underwear now?
2. The term “girlfriend/boyfriend” is either used liberally or not at all
The first it’s used in public, or at all, is always a zing (or miss) moment…
3. You discover which of your friends are truly happy for you
Women bond over misery, so when one breaks away from the pack in glee, it can lead to bitterness and failed friendships. Don’t be the assholes that ditch their friends for a relationship though.
4. You actually enjoy clubbing together
You may or may not also have had your first argument in a club.
5. You talk about them to your friends like you’re conducting an airplane safety briefing – with optimistic caution
“We’re probably not going to crash today, but if we do, we know where the exits are”.
6. There is no trace evidence of this relationship on Facebook.
Most functioning adults are aware that as quickly a relationship can be updated on Facebook, it can also be removed. Keep that shit under wraps until you’re engaged.
7. You have no regular body functions
What’s “pooing?”.
8. You haven’t left the bed in weeks
9. One or both of you have put on weight
10. The things that will annoy you soon, are currently endearing
See: bed-hogging, snoring, burping, clumsiness…
I apologise for all the usage of Sex and The City.
