Let's hear it for the girls.

We always hear about nice guys finishing last. But, what about nice girls?

This is for the girl who listens to her best guy friend talk nonstop about his newest love interest. This is for the girl who wants her best guy friend to be happy...even if that means letting him believe that his new love interest is a great girl when it's obvious she's a tease and a skank. This is for the girl who goes out of her way to make sure her best guy friend is ok when that hoe shatters his heart. This is for the girl who never tells her best guy friend how she feels because she doesn't want to scare him, and she'd rather have him as a friend than not have him at all. This is for the girl who's always a friend but never a girlfriend. Most importantly, this is for the girl who gives so much of herself and expects nothing in return.

Let's face it: Non-plantonic feelings do develop between friends, and then you're faced with the decision of acting upon those feelings or not. If you choose to throw caution to the wind and tell the other person how you feel, the timing could be all wrong. Instead of landing safely as you fall, you wind up plummeting down from a tall building and hitting the ground with a sickening thud. Then, as if the inevitable shattering of your heart isn't enough, you have to listen to one of the standard rejection lines: "I don't want to ruin our friendship," or "I don't think of you that way." Just when you think things cannot get any worse, you get slapped in the face with "You're like a sister to me." It makes you wonder if you're the one who is screwed up because as they're placing you into the "family" category, you're fantasizing about ripping their clothes off. Kind of gross in the end.

Now your heart is in a million pieces and you don't know how to put it back together. You can't talk to your best guy friend about your feelings, because he still thinks of you as a sister, and he's now interested in another girl who you're unbelievably jealous of, yet convinced that she's an even bigger skank than the last. But, you swallow your words, blink back your tears, and convince yourself that she can make him happier than you can. That whorebag.

But it doesn't even stop there. You find yourself hanging on every little word he says, and waiting for the day he wakes up and realizes he wants to be with you just as much as you want to be with him. Wishful thinking on your part. He has her now, but he'll come back when things with her go down the shitter, which they will, because they always do. And, as predicted, you will be there to call her a slut and "Awww" at all the right points throughout the conversation. After 3 hours of bashing her and branding her a "bitch" -- a title she righfully deserves -- you feel exhausted from stroking his ego and telling him she's not worth it.

After all that, it still doesn't change the way he feels about you. So, this is for the girl who tries so hard to be what her best guy friend wants and needs, yet never seems to make the cut when it comes down to it. My accolades to you. You'll find someone completely deserving of you -- someone who will challenge your mind, someone who will make you feel beautiful, someone who will meet you half way, and someone who will love and respect you for who you are and who you're going to become. We need more people like you in this world.

Can I get an AMEN?
