National Boyfriend Day

So Twitter has officially announced that today is "National Boyfriend Day!"

Now put you hand up if you're single. Yeah I figured you were.

Why is it that people have to advertise their relationship online and make a big fuss that they are "in love?" Has Hollywood made love seem like the most important thing that will ever happen to us and now we have to obtain it and flaunt it? And why would you flaunt it if you already have it? Are you insecure about it? Or are you that much of a bitch that you have to go around and remind all the single people that they are single?

I don't think I have ever had a friends that flaunts her boyfriend in front of me. Which is good because that girl wouldn't stay my friend for long.

Why is it such a big deal to everyone if they have a boyfriend or not?

And I'm sorry if I sound like an unhappy single girl, but I'm not. I just don't understand why people need to make a big deal about their relationships without being asked about them!

Yes, I do understand that showing you affection for one another is great, but since when does that involve making an entire Facebook album of just you two in a lip-lock?

Lets talk about my friend Polly, just because she would love if I wrote about her while I am on this subject.

Polly had a crush on Erwin since the fourth or fifth grade. Finally Erwin decided to ask her out during Freshman year of high school. My friends and I wanted to throw a party, but we decided not to simply because Polly isn't the kind of girl who wants to gush about her boyfriend during a sleepover, she's very conservative. Which I appreciate, because some girls just aren't anymore. I will be honest her lack of telling about her boyfriend may have a tendency to get frustrating and old during a sleepover when all we want to talk about is boys, but that's only a very rare occasion.

Point is: Why can't girls try and be happy in their own relationship with out telling her friends what an "AMAZING kisser he is!!" or how he loves animals, and wants to live in Lima, Ohio with three little girls when he's older. It's your relationship. NOT MINE.

If anyone ever asked me about a relationship I had or am in I would tell them what they wanted to hear, but I wouldn't gush into detail about every date me and the guy had. I've never been the type of person to trail on in a conversation unless I was really sleepy or excited.

So my advice to the girls who participated in "National Boyfriend Day:" I'm happy you're in love and you have someone very special in your life, but if they are the most perfect person as is, then why do you have to brag about it? It's your boyfriend enough already?

That's right I make a damn good point.
