Today I had a long debate with a friend, firstly on how to be a good gf and secondly on how to be a good couple. Im the first to admit Im a TERRIBLE girlfriend whereas my friend thought she was an amazing one. Well her ex, ex, ex, ex, and other ex’s seem to disagree with her there. Anyway, we tried to come up with a list of good and bad traits, but thats where the arguments started. Her first point was this “NEVER text the boyfriend first, always make him work for it”. Well I tried this approach before and ended up in a half assed relationship in which I saw him maybe 6/7 times in 5 months. So not leaving it down to the guy sounds like a good idea to me. But how much is too much? And what is too clingy? After my last few shitty relationships I’ve turned into some weird sentimental, clingy and generally vomit-inducing girlfriend who texts her boyf constantly regardless of getting replies or not. I of course know this is a recipe for disaster, but as my very insightful friend said “You are over compensating because your a shit gf, you only know how to do that whole ‘friends with benefits’ thing.” Thanks hun… Appreciated. Now this little bit of knowledge has sent me on a tail spin, what are the exact differences between friends with benefits and being a couple? Of course friends with benefits is just about the sex, but I’ve been on dates in this situation and made everyone around me feel awkward with lovely Public Displays of Affection (PDA). After more cups of coffee, and more procrastinating from my essay me and my friend came up with 3 main differences: 1) Monogamous! Of course being in a relationship means being just with that person (or people for those in a ménage à trois). FWB means you are not exclusive and should never have the mindset that you are. But GF/BF means you are. 2) Introductions to friends and family, very rarely do you hear a guy saying “Hey mum, this is the other girl im fucking, cute right?” Thats because your benefit buddy should never be introduced to anyone as anything more than a friend. 3) Secrecy. Benefit buddy’s are USUALLY secret, or at least played down a lot. “Ohhhh we kissed when we were drunk once” comes to mind. A couple should be celebrated! Even with all the ‘knowledge’ my friend passed on to me I am still clueless on what makes a good girlfriend and stuff. Or even what makes your boyfriend good or useless (but generally I can work that out myself) So if anyone has ANYTHING insightful to say, send it my way. According to my friend, I need all the help I can get…
Do you know how to be a couple?
