>>>"We've been there, and we know she's right."<<<
Sounds like you're just a bunch of self-absorbed haters, to me.

I'm genuinely happy for my friends when they find love, regardless of my own romantic status.

We have to admire a writer for How About We coming clean about something almost everybody feels but hardly anyone admits: It stinks when your single pal finds new love. "Deep, terrible confession time: sometimes I really think it sucks when one of my girl friends gets a boyfriend. So selfish, I know!" the writer confesses.
We've been there, and we know she's right. Suddenly, your Saturday night playmate is unavailable. Your wingman or wingwoman is paired off -- you're on your own in the dating world. And often, you're on your own, period.
"When I’m single, my fellow single ladies can feel like my lifeboat. They’re the ones who are always up for spontaneous nights out, the ones who will engage self-deprecating banter about spinsterhood, the ones I can freely text on a random night because I’m fairly sure that they, like me, are sitting around their apartment watching TV, too," the writer confesses.
But once your pal gets into a serious relationship, he or she tends to be M.I.A. As the writer for the article puts it, "...suddenly she only ever wants to hang out during the day: brunch, or lunch, or coffee. Because weekend nights are usually exclusively for him. And if you do manage to drag her out at night, she won’t have the same abandon she did when she was single. She’ll seem slightly distracted, she’ll check her phone a lot, she’ll yawn and want to head home way earlier than she ever used to."
So sad, but so true. Do you feel abandoned when your single friends pair off? Or are you genuinely happy for them?

But yeah, some people, especially my age just LOVE to show off their new boyfriends/girlfriends; hell, that's half the reason why anyone my age dates at all. Bragging rights. Ugh.
i am happy for him...

I don't hate it, I'm happy for them, but I will admit on here that I get a little jealous because I've never had a boyfriend. Well, my personal feelings don't matter. I would never try to sabotage a relationship, especially my friend's. The only time I would ever intervene was if their partner wasn't treating them right.
Oh, I doubt they're in love if they're less than 19.
Unless it was with a guy I was interested in, no.
