004. girls and jealousy...

Hey, it's just me. If you're a girl, you know this little emotion named Jealousy. He's evil and sneaky. He allows you to do things that you KNOW are not the right thing. We all hate him, yet it's not the things he makes us do that we hate, but the way he makes us feel.

So, when you're a girl, Jealousy always pops up when there's a guy involved. Am I wrong girls? Whether he's single or not, Jealousy makes the crush feeling so much more vulnerable. When he's in a relationship, you hate the girlfriend so much it hurts, and when he's single, every girl he comes in contact with is your competition and the enemy. It sucks, doesn't it?

Now, why am I writing about this? Don't get any ideas, please (no seriously, don't. I'm not kidding you.). The inspiration came from tonight's episode of Baby Daddy on ABC Family. To give you a little summary: Riley has liked Ben since their days in high school, but Riley used to be fat, and now she's beautiful. Ben is now a father (hence the name, Baby Daddy) of an adorable girl named Emma who the mother left on his doorstep. The show follows the ups and downs of young adults raising a baby girl. Get the picture now? ANYWAY, Riley likes Ben. In this episode, Ben started dating the baby nurse. Riley is upset, and tries her hardest to put up with her. After the nurse tells Riley that she's sorry for Riley because she thinks/knows Riley is in love with Ben, Riley attacks nurse during Ben's older brother's hockey game, and gets caught on camera. In the end, Ben breaks up with baby nurse, and slyly tries to get Riley to admit her feelings, but fails. Ben continues to refer to Riley as "such a great friend", putting Riley in the oh-so dreaded... FRIEND ZONE (cue the scary music). The best lines from tonight's episode in relation to this topic had to be: 
   Ben: "Thank you, you're such a great friend." Riley: "I hate that word."
   Riley: "And by special I mean that I hate that girl. She is so going down."
   Riley: "It's different because she's better at it."
And to save the best for last...
   Riley: "Friend. Oops no still hate that word."

Can any of you relate? C'mon, I know you can. If you're a girl, now matter how much you try, you also know Jealousy. What can you do to prevent Jealousy from destroying you and your crushing? Well, just try to keep him in check. In other words, THINK before you ACT. I know it's hard, but keep in mind that you are not alone. 


But hey, it's just me.
