It’s Friday night. It's girl's night with your best friend, and it’s date night with your guy. Where do you go?
Unfortunately, girls are faced with problems like this one all the time. Having to choose between your best friend and your boyfriend can be a real tough decision to make. Sometimes it’s doable, but sometimes, not so much. So what do you do? It’s YOUR choice.
When stuck in a situation like this one, it’s best to try to see it from both sides.
She’s been your best friend since 3rd grade, and has always had your back.
You’ve been dating him for 6 months, and you really like him.
So what do you do? A girl’s night wouldn’t be the same with your boyfriend there, and date night wouldn’t be so special with your best friend with you. Sometimes it’s workable. When the stars align and the universe is in order, something works out and allows you to do both, and make both people happy. But sometimes, that’s just not the way things work.
What’s my advice? TELL THEM! Be honest. Honesty is the most important thing in any sort of relationship, whether it’s a friendship or something more. If she’s really your best friend, she’ll understand, and if he really likes you, so will he. There’s no need to be pressured into making any sort of decision, it’s you who has to live with your choice after all.
Try moving dinner up and go to your friend's house a little late. Whatever makes everyone happy. But remember, it’s your life, and your decision.
Any comments/suggestions? Comment below and tell me! Thanks for reading! :)
I like your suggestion, but I'd be afraid that the best friend would still feel like she was being ditched or replaced by your boyfriend. I think it would be better to hang out with your best friend when your boyfriend is busy and vice versa. That way no one feels replaced.
