The Commandments of Friendship and Dating/Guys Part 1

Hi everyone!!!
Guess what? You get to read a list about guys composed by a couple of teenage girls.
:-P Ok that sounded a little weird so I'll tell you the story
We were sitting in German... doing absolutely NOTHING so I look at J and say "I've got an idea"
The idea from this list came mostly from the fact that 90% of my friends are 16 or will be in the next couple of weeks. At the end of German it was about half a page, but by the end of the next period with Sadie it was about three pages. Keep in mind that this is an ongoing project so you'll probably see more later. <3>here is THE LIST!

By the way "the guy" = boyfriend, crush or date

1. Thou shalt not neglect thy friends in favor of "the guy"

2. Thou shalt not date a guy your friend fancies unless she is fickle and likes more than 1

3. Thou shalt kindly give advice when asked for (or if you have a really good ide) but thou shalt NEVER mock "the guy" no matter how ridiculous you find their relationship

4. Tell your friend if they look awful (kindly) - There is to be no beating around the bush between friends

5. Thou shalt divulge any information pertaining to "the guy" no matter how insignificant it may seem

6. Thou shalt obtain pictures of any cute guys that you know but your friends know not before you start the insessently talking about him thing

7. Thou shalt warn thy friend if thou hast any legitimate reason to be concerned about "the guy"'s morals/reputation (his being non-morman doesn't count)

8. Thou shalt defend thy friend's honor and reputation (unless arguing with your chronic PMS mother, then you may do so non-verbally)

9. Thou shalt distribute thy time fairly between thy friends and "the guy" never more guy than friends (but it is ok to include "the guy" with your friends)

10. None of that akward third wheel stuff... if its just gonna be you, "the guy" and the friend dont make them come, that's just akward for all involved.

11. Thou shalt patiently listen and comment (encouragingly) to your friends raving about "the guy". Thou shalt not bring up the last one or say anything unencouraging or mean (see commandments 28 &29)

12.Thou shalt listen graciously to any legitimate concerns/critisism of "the guy" (remember they are your friends and are trying to HELP you)

13. Thou shalt NEVER mention "the Ex"

14. Thou shalt ABOVE ALL remember that your friends were here before the guy and will most likely be here long after he is gone (aka don't fight over guys!)

15. Thou shalt never date "the Ex" unless making 100% sure it is completely ok with your friend

16. Thou shalt NEVER flirt with "the guy" or the Ex" in the presence of your friend (regardless of consent recieved in commandment 15... thats just AKWARD!!)

17. Thou shalt never flirt with "the guy" regardless of whether or not your friend is around

18. Thou shalt never so much as LOOK at the Ex until consent is recieved (see commandment 15) remember no matter how cool he is he's NOT worth your friendship

19. Thou shalt never divulge any information concerning "the guy" or "the ex" or the friend to any parent or authority figure unless it is of serious danger to any of the above three (no dating a non-morman still doesn't count)

20. Thou shalt allow thy friend a period of space and peace as she overcomes the newly made "EX" (if desired)

21. Thou shalt not allow this period of space and peace to extend through an unhealthy amount of time (drag her to a party with lots of cute guys if necessary)

22. Always try to see how your friend is trying to help you see the truth about "the guy", life or overcomming "the guy", don't deny their help (see number 14)

23.Thou shalt defend "the guy" from any possible competition when thy friend is either not present or too intimidated to do so

24. Thou shalt no hate the Barbie because she is pretty, thou shalt only hate her if "the guy" thinks so... and probably not even then (strong dislike is ok)

25. Thou shalt always trust thy friends and "they guy" above any rumors you may hear to the contraty (exception they say something about each other, in this case seriously check it out and talk to witnesses)

26. Thou shalt not try to turn thy friend against "the guy" regardless of your opinion of him (this doesn't mean hide harmful information, just check your motives)

27. Thou shalt kindly inform thy friend of comments being made behind her back (excersize caution if you did not personaly hear the said comments)

28. Thou shalt remember that love is blind and in some cases "the guy" will be a complete idiot/jerk grin and bear it, any attempts to break it up will probably just extend the clingly nasty period. Don't worry... eventually her eyes will come back

29. However if "the guy" is dangerous to your friend's mental, emotional, physical health and she refuses to see reason thou shalt drag her into the trees and slap her (gently) until she sees reason (figuratively of course)
