Friendship Relationship Rules

I spend a great many hours in the library considering I work here. And sometimes I'm walking through the stacks..pulling call slips and what not and i began to think about the steps and measures i take in order to insure that I am not over stepping any boundaries when it comes to my friend's relationships and significant others. I came up with a list of precautions that can be taken to guarantee you continue to have a long fulfilling friendship.


1. You should not have your friend's significant others' phone number.
--- There is nothing you really need to be texting your friend's man/girl about. If you have a question for he/she you should go through your friend. Texting may be misconstrued (or correctly depending on the kind of person you are) for trying to be sneaky.Also facebook chatting and skyping are not very appropriate either. Excessive tweeting may be questionable as well. Just don't do it.

2. DO NOT give relationship advice!
---Please refrain from dishing out advice for your friend's relationship. I have noticed (as well as experienced first hand) the repercussions from doing so. The male/female begins to start liking you and then shyt gets real awkward, friendships deteriorate smh....

3. Nicknames.
---Nicknames are ok as long as they're not cutesy little ones. For example i called my friend's boyfriend LaKeKe. That is a little on the "ghetto" side rather than cute. Just be careful you friend may not be happy about you having a nickname for their significant other.

4. Greetings
---A Quick waddup, high five, pound, hand wave, church hug is appropriate. Don't get overly excited to see your friend's significant other.

5. Don't Date Him Girl
---Your friend's done with him. OK that don't mean he's for you.

Be careful out here everyone! There's Snakes in the Grass.
