Yes as a pround member of virgin gaf I do not have have much experince with women. People say I look gay, am oblivious to women, and or a coward. Well whatever the point is I do not know what it is to have a gf but I do know one thing. I get tried of people real fast and could never hang with someone on a day to day basis. Which brings me to my question.

Well let me do some backstory. I have a really good friend. Like best friend here. You know that one friend that you really have a great bond with. Well anyway we were both proud nerds but my friend is kind of stupid. He gets obsessive over the thing he is really into at the time, which leads to him being pretty unrealistic. Still hes may real good friend and really I've been by his side on everything and help him when he needed it(which is a lot as he has family problems) Anyway he got a girl friend earlier last year. It lasted a week but he was all "oh were in love". Naturally I just thought it was a silly high school thing and it pretty much was.

Then comes the new girl. Well I admit I didn't have a great first impression with her but then again she did'nt give me much of a chance. I'm hanging out with my friend and I guess she wants to hang out well I agree to go pick her up. During the drive she dosent talk. Ok maybe my mistake, I have a hard time talking to new people, espically when they don't give a helping hand. Anyway we go to the store and shes all on him and shit(well this is before they were going out) and she has another bf and shit. Well I'm a conservative person I guess and this kind of rubs me the wrong way. Anyway I go back to college(This was spring break) and they start going out. She constantly texts me if I approve of them or some shit. Well i don't care plus the txting is real annoying which leads me to telling her I don't care for her but its not like shes my gf.

Anyway as time goes on the dude loses interests in games and anime. Becomes somes super indie dude, shops only at forever 21, and goes out to clubs. Well I'm ok with the last one, I've been getting out more and he needed to to. Anyway I come home for Easter break and I tell him we should hang out. We don't and thats strange as we hang out all the time. When we talk its still kind of the same, same jokes and crap but she takes his phone sometimes and plays "the oh hes not here game". It just becomes annoying.

Anyway I cam home for Summer in May. My birthdays in May. I always see a movie for my birthday and I'm a pretty late sleeper. He knows this very well. I had called him up a couple of weeks beofre to tell him my plans. Regardless he decided to hang out with the gf. Anyway we've hung out 4 times since may and every time its been limited because at 7 he has to hang out with her and they hang out everyday it seems. I'll make plans with him and then bam they get squashed because she wants to do some shit. At first I understood, hey it is his gf. GF and BFs hang out a lot but now its just kind of pissing me off. Its like my friendship means nothing. Am I wrong gaf? I don't think I'm jealous at all, just kind of pissed off.

This seems to happen a lot, friends get gfs and they change. I mean yeah its pretty normal I guess.

Good HS friend got one and becomes a dick and only wants to talk about her. When he dosent have one he becomes cool but when he does, I sure dont wana hang out with him.

My other good friend got a gf and spent more time with her. I made jokes about him being pussy whipped, but they were just jokes. He still would hang out with the group.

College friend can't do anything when GF is around. Again I kind of understand.

Other college friend becomes a overly romantic fellow(i mean like writing songs) whenever a girl becomes involved.

I just don't get it. Maybe I have yet to meet a girl like that. But I can't see myself becoming like my friends. I mean I really like my time alone.

Mmmhmmm...
 
People grow up and grow apart. You are running into it now for the first time but it will happen to you throughout your life forever, for reasons within and beyond your or anyone's control.

It is best to value the times you do have together. His new best friend is his girlfriend.
 
I know people like this... Their girlfriends usually end up calling me and begging me to take my friends out because they're tired of being smothered.

Your friends suck if they refuse to spend time with you. I'm single all the time, but my friends in relationships still hang out with me. The ones who always try to cancel or drag their women with us, I have basically quit talking to.
 
People change. You will change at some point too. You don't honestly think you'll be acting the same in the future as you do now?
 
You know, we are put on this Earth to procreate, not to hang out with our buddies.

One ensures the survival of the human race. The other... doesn't.

It's not really all that deep.

Also, if you think that's bad, wait til he gets married.
 
Maybe it's time you talked with your friend. Invite him over one day and have a serious conversation and tell him what's up. Maybe if you talk to him, he'll get some sense knocked into him. If that doesn't work out or he refuses to show up, then maybe it's time to look for a new friend.
 
My conclusion is that all three of you are messed up and that is what brings you all together.

Only solution is a london bridge three way, with a game of Battleship on her back.

Answered your own question, buddy.


This is why people say "bros before hos." Nothing you can do about your friend - just don't puss out like he did when you finally get a GF.

p.s. sex is awesome
 
I see this in a few people i know but it's a part of life. It becomes very difficult after you get married to hang out with your friends as much, although that's not always entirely the wife's fault. Women are controlling manipulative creatures (and when you find one who's not so controlling and manipulative you should marry her asap) so it's not surprising that your friends will give in and become 'whipped'. In essence every male is whipped to some degree it's just the nature of being in a relationship with the opposite sex.
 
He will either lose her and become normal again, or just snap out of it after a while. If it's his first girl it's okay for him to act like that, well not ok, but it's understandable.
 
People grow up..

The fact that you're in college and still ignore women... well.. it makes you weird.


There is more to life than games and anime...
 
News flash: Your friend enjoys having sex with his G/F. That trumps anything you and him used to do together.

Accept it.
 
If you never had a girlfriend or have no desire to be in a relationship with the opposite sex, I could see how you would have no understanding of what is going on. The thing is that if the guy is digging a chick, he is going to want to spend time with her. Especially early on. That is when the foundation is being laid for a future.

I think you probably should stop being jealous and be happy that he found someone. Most people's idea of a great life is complete with a wife/husband, not a best friend. Your friends are working towards that and you are not. I am more concerned with your anti-social attitude regarding anyone but your buds.
 
It all goes full circle, friends start dating, become much more interested in women or their GF, then they finally find someone they may marry, start to freak out a bit and start reconnecting with all their buds, then eventually a healthy balance is achieved between friendship and relationships. Kind of the stage a few of my friends are at. I have hung out with my one buddy a lot more since he got engaged oddly enough.

Edit: If you had a girlfriend you may find yourself hanging out with your buddy more often, the whole double date and couples hanging out thing is very common.
 
(Your comment about wanting time alone however is not inaccurate: any relationship where either party has no time alone is going to be very uncomfortable.)
 
You say you couldn't hang with someone on a day to day basis but it sounds like you used to hang with your best friend on a day to day basis. Finding the right girl will hopefully be like a new best friend and that you don't mind being around them. They aren't just a girlfriend but someone you can consider your best friend.
 
This is harsh, but just get over your pain, it's called getting older. I used to live with my best friend and his old GF. Eventually they break up and then one day he tell me his new GF is moving in with us. Ok... Then later I hear that she has a daughter and they want her to have my room, meaning I have to move out. They said it just that bluntly too. Needless to say I was pissed. I really thought I straight up lost a friend. I could have said fuck you and never talked to him again.
However, I didn't. I tried to be friends with her too. Result, now I have two good friends. I was the best man at the wedding last year. We still hang out, watch MMA fights, and drink and play yatzee when the daughter is asleep. Now I'm 'uncle Nate' and that's really kickass too. It's not about your friend leaving you, there are just things that a relationship gives a person that a friend can't. I seriously was almost in tears 3 years ago because I thought I was losing one of the only friends I have and I freaked, but if you are really good friends, then you still will be. This kind of thing happen to everyone IMO as they and their friends age, hell just wait until they start getting married and having kids and you are still single lol. It's sucks now, but you will start to work with it.
 
Once you get hooked to the right person, they are your number one priority.
Doesn't mean any one person needs to be a slave to the other with no free time, but overall, that's the case.

Time to get a gf and go out with other couples!
 
Bros before hos is nonsense. Finding a girl that enjoys enough of the same things you do and your friends, that you can't have sex with, are superseded like nobody's business.
 
OP: Bookmark this thread and wait until you meet the right person. Then read it again and laugh.

Do you feel sexually attracted to your friend?


This is a legit question. The OP claims to have little tolerance for people, but then complains that he can't see his friend as much.
 
To be fair it's not uncommon to see people stay with the wrong person for a loong time.
It's sad to see the people you know be so miserable in a shitty relationship.

But if you know your friend is happy and found the right person you should be happy for them.
 
You told his girlfirend that you don't really like her that much, and now when you have plans with your friend, she comes up with something too? I'm stumped.

i agree with him. at the beginning he will spend more time with his new girl and you should just understand that, you guys will hang out again in the future when all the ground work is laid out.

if you had a girl (dont know if you do or had one before...didnt read all of it) you wouldn't think this is a big deal, some people get more involved with there girls more then others, its just the way it is. since you said your friend is like that then you should understand that and seen is coming. you say you guys are best friends...be happy for him, go get your own girl, and maybe you guys can all hang out together.

This is what I thought. Probably time to cut my friend free.

No I already have changed quite a bit. I go out a lot now and am into a lot of different things. I do expect to like nerdy things for the rest of my life though.

Also, if you think that's bad, wait til he gets married.
I made a joke about that and they said they already talked about it. They have been going out for like 2 months. Like wtf?
This is why people say "bros before hos." Nothing you can do about your friend - just don't puss out like he did when you finally get a GF.
Already have used that line.

Plus (though I'm not totally sure) I dont think they have had sex. This dude would have told me and made a big deal about it. Plus many times he has said hes not to interested in sex which made me go wtf. Plus this girl is really ugly.

He outgrew you.
Seeing as the dude comes to me for advice. Had to be told to actually leave the house by me and can never ask people at the store anything because he is kind of scared. I kind of doubt it. I'm the one who has done the gorwing. Just not with the women.
Thier probably just enjoying thier selves and he can't be bothered to come over thier to baby you anymore.
Why would they baby me? I do have other friends.

I know that but I've been told how many times I can't get a girl or how unattractive I am. That was during HS. Well I don't believe it but it has a pretty negative effect on me.

And yes I know theres more to anime and games. Thats not all I do. This entire year I've gotten into more things and done a lot more.

I'm not antisocial. I've been a lot more social then I ever have been. I for some reason just don't desire a relationship, much less can think about getting married.
 
So basically, the girl broke your bromance with your friend?

Oh and the correct answer is, Get a girlfriend.

Except if you were gay...you wouldn't even have to waste time looking for the girl. Meaning more time for sex. Think about it! Its like the best of both worlds then.

Also, sounds like he grew out of you.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you?
 
Here's the thing: your friend doesn't like you anymore. He doesn't want to spend his time with some socially awkward virgin man baby who still watches cartoons.

You either need to make a real effort to find a meaningful relationship with a girl, or find other weirdos like yourself to spend time with.
