Sometimes it can be hard to fully let a relationship go. Maybe you’re in the same circle of friends as your ex or maybe you just need that relationship you had with them – even if it means not actually being with them. Unfortunately, these friendships rarely work out, and here is why:

1. Irrational jealousy
It’s natural to start to think in terms of getting over each other being some sort of ‘competition’. Which will lead to some form of irrational jealousy. Hating someone your ex talked to at a party for no reason is irrational and stupid.

2. You.Had.Sex.With.Them.
Going back to a normal friendship after you’ve done the no pants dance a hundred times and know all each others weird habits is just impossible.

3. Friends group are going to change anyway
One of the main reasons you stay in each others social circle is that you have mutual friends.No one has the same group of friends for their entire lives, its like anything in life, you win some and lose some.

4. In the long run it’s way better to cut them off
Okay so you were all friends for a while but now it’s time to get your sh** together and move on.

5. Staying friends and seeing them move on can be crippling
And when this happens you WILL go back to the place you were 6 months before.

6. You can’t turn off your feelings
At the end of the day we are only human- staying in close contact isn’t going to give your heart a chance to catch up with your brain.

7. Accidental hook-ups
IF you do stay friends, you will probably go out together and end up back in bed. This seems like a good idea at the time but it’s really going to feck up the whole moving-on process.

8. You cannot move on if you stay friends
There’s just too much history most of the time. You need a break.

9. “We’ll stay friends is just a ‘mutual contract’”
Saying stuff like “We’ll say friends” is basically a verbal contract in which you basically mean is: “We are not going to talk sh** about each other/say anything embarrassing about what we did in bed” after we break up. It does not mean you are going to braid each others hair and watch movies together.

10. You need to give it space
Okay so maybe in a few years you can become friends but right now you need to let it die so you can move on.

11. Staying friends on Facebook is a different thing
Everyone knows this predicament- you don’t want to seem petty by blocking them on FB but don’t want daily reminders of them either. To combat this block, them from your newsfeed, notifications, and all of their friends who potentially will add pictures of them enjoying their life without you.

12. Be a strong person without needing them to be your friend
You can do it! Take the time you need to get over them and in a few years, perhaps you can be friends again.

You get worried that you’re a bit toooo weird together, but hey, it’a all fun so who cares! Here are the signs that you and your best friend are two of a kind

1. You dare each other to do stupid things
You do really crazy and stupid stuff together, but have the utmost trust in each other.

triple-dog-dare2.  You communicate in your own special way
You have an interesting way of saying I love you and insults are your way of expressing how much your friend means to you. It’s as if complimenting each other isn’t enough.

ladygagabeyonce

3. You can tell them anything, no matter how strange it sounds
They’re like an open book and they have literally no filter. You can tell them your deepest darkest secrets, but also disgusting things about your body and they won’t bat an eyelid.

im-listening

4. You still call each other by your stupid nicknames
You never call them by their full name either it’s a shortened version of their name of just the first letter like D, M or Aido. It’s extrmemely childish, but both of you still think it’s cool.

giphy

5. You have to text each other every night before you go to bed
When your friend forgets to text you feel like something has gone wrongyou start to think of what you said to them earlier and if they’re mad at you or not. In reality they just fell asleep and forgot to text you.

6. You ‘literally’ die when you randomly meet each other in public
Meeting your  friend when you weren’t planning on seeing them makes your week. You can’t help but cause a scene when you randomly see your friends walking down the street.

7. You know each other’s phone number and Facebook passwords off by heart
After spending so much time with them you know their phone number and every one of their passwords. You don’t memorise them, over time you have been exposed to it so much that they just seem to sink in.

8. If you’re not home, they wait in your house until you come home
You feel so comfortable with each other that if you’re not there when they call they just chill in your house until you do. Your family doesn’t mind either because they love having them over.

tumblr_n0out3mOfw1tq4of6o1_500

9. Your idea of a night-in is wearing pyjamas and watching romantic comedies together
If you’re at home and bored you invite them over to eat junk food and watch movies. It doesn’t matter how you look, so you both wear pyjamas.

giphy

10. When you order food you get one portion and share it
You know exactly the type of food you both like so you just order one thing and share it between you. Sometimes you don’t even have to say it and you order a 4 and 1 for the both of you.

tumblr_m02nf5Gi5P1r6iaqx

11. You know every detail of each other’s sex life
There is nothing that you haven’t already told them about your sex life. Who you shifted last night, who your stalking on Facebook and all the rest of the gory details!

tumblr_ml95s9wmup1qh28qoo1_500-1

12. When they’re not around you feel like a piece of you is missing
You’re not the same without the creepy look that they give you, or the random things they say on a daily basis. The only thing that comforts you is when you get a text from them.

Some of them we love, some of them we love to hate. Either way, things get crazy with this lot around!

1.  Your BFF
You guys hang out constantly and Snapchat each other when in need of a bitching sesh. This is the girl you go to when you feel awful and she won’t necessarily have to say much, but her just being there makes life that much more bearable. This is the type of friend that knows everything about you and everything seems hilarious when you’re with them.

2. The silly girl
That friend that has literally no idea what the hell is happening 24/7. She will just laugh at everything that everyone else laughs at and say she gets it, when she clearly doesn’t. Every entourage needs one of these though!

3. The sports-mad gal
The mate that tweets and Snapchats sports stats and rubbish about sport that we really don’t care about.

4. The “lady”
The girl that has so much grace, class and poise that it is beyond you. The one friend that eats pizza and burgers with a fork and a knife and keeps her heels on all night.

5.  The social butterfly
That one friend that knows absolutely EVERYONE. You simply can’t walk around campus with them, without being stopped and introduced to a group of people you never knew existed. On nights out she will be messaging everyone and round up a massive crowd for pre-drinks, and you probably won’t see her again for the night.

6. The loud-mouth
That friend that does not have an indoor voice and if she sees something funny she will loudly broadcast so. They are the best craic and beyond hilarious but can we please turn it down a notch.

7. Oprah
The friend that assumes she can solve all your problems and, more importantly, points out your problems to you. She lectures you and tries to inspire you, when in reality you would rather the problem remain unsolved than hear her out.

8. The beauty and the brains
We all have that friend that is so stunning but also has the smarts to back it up.

9. The Disney freak
The friend that knows all the Frozen songs off by heart and thinks Olaf is the “cutest thing ever.” They’re in second year of college and are still attached to everything Disney, and still sport Disney t-shirts and merchandise into classes. You gotta love them though!

10. The outcast
That friend that stands out of the group and is totally different from everyone else!

11. The cynical one
That friend that is so cynical and so negative but you can’t help but love them. Their comments about things are simply hilarious and sometimes make no sense at all.

12. The clubs/socs butterfly
The friend that has no time for anybody or anything because they’re so absorbed in some glee club stuff. They are now on the committee of a club/soc and they constantly beg you to bring yourself and friends to their college events, which you say you will but never do.

13. The foodie
The friend that is a beast when it comes to food. Yes, they will pick food up which fell on the floor and claim that it is perfectly edible. They claim there is a “40 second rule.”

14.  The band member
The mate who has become part of  a band which you have no idea about. The band member friend will always invite you to their gigs, but you’ll never show up.

15 . The keep-fit babe
The friend always Instagramming clean meals and healthy meals and posting her workout routine that make us all feel like sh**.

One woman has decided to offer her expert services as a “professional bridesmaid” and no, this is not the plot from 27 dresses or any upcoming rom-com arriving at our cinemas this summer, but in fact a legit ad on Craigslist.

The 26-year-old woman posted the advert last Friday and has since then become a viral hit. The woman has listed all of her expert skills in the advert and said she was available to be any future bride’s “professional bridesmaid”.

It seems that she has the experience too as the wedding expert revealed that she had already been a bridesmaid this year four times for some of her close friends.

“That’s 4 different chiffon dresses, 4 different bachelorette parties filled with tequila shots and guys in thong underwear twerking way too close to my face, 4 different pre-wedding pep talks to the bride about how this is the happiest day of her life and marriage, probably, is just like riding a bike: a little shaky at first but then she’ll get the hang of it.”

If that wasn’t enough the expert bridesmaid also listed all of her handy wedding skills  which are required for any bride’s big day:

“- Holding up the 18 layers of your dress so that you can pee with ease on your wedding day
– Catching the bouquet and then following that moment up with my best Miss America-like “Omg, I can’t believe this” speech.
– Doing the electric and the cha cha slide.
– Responding in a timely manner to pre-wedding email chains created by other bridesmaids and the Maid of Honour.”

One thing the ad didn’t mention was the cost, but with skills like that we can imagine it to be pretty steep!

We all want to be there for our friends, but there are just some things you don’t say to your friends, especially if they’ve just been dumped. Here is what not to say to someone who’s just been dumped:

You’ll get over it
Harsh. Yes, they will eventually move on, but that’s not what they want to hear so soon after being dumped.

You’re better off without him
Although that might be true, and your only trying to help by saying this – stating this fact will not make their heartache any easier.

But he seemed so nice!
It’s probably best to take your friend’s judgement on her boyfriend, considering she knew him better and spent more time with him.

Maybe he’ll come back to you
Even though this may be a last result to reassure your upset friend, it’s best not to encourage ideas that may not become a reality.

Plenty more fish in the sea!
A cliché and probably one we’re all sick of hearing. Even though a new man might cheer her up initially it might be a good idea for your friend to be on their own for a little while.

Every girl needs that one person they can tell anything to and never be judged. In other words – a BFF! Here are the signs that you have a super good BFF:

1. She doesn’t judge you
We all make stupid decisions now and then, but she’ll never personally judge. Her concerns come from the heart as she only wants what’s best for you, and since she probably knows you better than yourself, she leaves you to learn from your mistakes and hopes for the best.

12. She always has time for you
Between exams, essays, work and other social commitments this girl will make time for you, even if it’s only for five minutes she’ll give you call if she can’t see you. This is how you know she is there for you because she cares and wants to be there for you, not because she feels she has to.

Me, to a Milkway bar Wednesday night.

3. You always have the best laugh together
You could be grocery shopping, waiting for the bus or partying in Portugal, together you both have the most amazing laughs with minimal effort. Outsiders often wonder what on earth you’re laughing about, or how you go to the bathroom together and come back with a hilarious incident or how you never get tired of each other. Those who laugh together, stay together.

berry-break-23-04. She’ll hook you up
She’ll wing-woman for you no matter what the occasion. You’ve got your eyes on someone, she will make that happen if you’re too scared to. Whether it’s strategically placing you in his eye sight, dragging him over to you or dragging you across the dancefloor and shoving you into him, she will make this happen.

large5. She’ll be honest
She’ll tell you if your outfit is odd and won’t stop rolling around laughing because you look like a mess in your passport photo.

tumblr_mov76edjfz1ql5yr7o1_5006.  She never ceases to surprise you
“YOU DID WHAT!?!” Most of the time you think you know this girl more than she knows herself until she does something completely out of the blue. She’ll surprise you when you least expect it, and you love it.

tumblr_mydxl2iK4O1rwjroqo1_4007. You have your own language
Whether you read each other minds, have your own sign language or your conversations are purely based on private jokes or a combination of these, you both communicate on a deeper level than most friendships, or the rest of human society for that matter.

giphy8. You grow together
You’ve known each other for years, and have been through life changing events with one another along the way, at this stage of planning out your life you don’t for a second imagine it without her being involved. You’ve already decided that you’re going to be each others maid of honour, have the same retirement home in mind and when you see two little old ladies together you immediately “That’s us in 60 years.”

Who needs them anyway?

tumblr_lu9wab8nrV1r0ojhto1_50010. You trust her
You know you could put your life in this girl’s hand and she’ll do her best to protect it. You can tell her anything and not worry about her turning around and telling everyone. Your secrets are always safe with her.

tumblr_mneseyfkgJ1s14xs8o1_50011. Your morals are the same
Your hobbies and careers could be completely different, but at the end of the day you both have the same beliefs. This is one of the things which bonds you and your best friend together, you both share the same sense of right and wrong. Even if you break it once in awhile, she’ll understand and still love you.

Porsha-Siamese-Cats12. You don’t have to act like best friends to be best friends
You don’t have to be glued to the hi[ to be close, you could both have completely different circles of friends, it does’t mean you are any less close.

amy-poehler-tina-fey-drinking13. She can make you laugh no matter what
No matter how awful the situation is, whoever broke your heart or how terrible your day was, she’ll always know that you need a nice cup of tea and a good laugh to help you through. Somehow she’ll make you believe everything will be just fine, or if not she’ll happily run away to set up a bar in Thailand with you.

Girls-laughing-GIF14. You’ll do anything for each other
You both have a mutually understanding that you have the biggest amount of respect and love for each other and therefore will go with you to get the morning after pill, take a punch for her and defend each other to the ground if someone talks bad about her.

best-friend-rachel-bilson-gif15. You see each other as sisters
Because if you think about it you basically are; you’ve spent many dinners together, you share everything and have accidentally damaged one another while doing something completely ridiculous. Even her own family considers you a relative and knows all about you.

giphy (1)16. There’s friendly competition
You may not be able to play poker without it ending in a childish argument, but you can certainly challenged each other to miscellaneous racing competitions, kill each other in Mario Kart or play stupid pranks on each other. You have your own stuff you are both competitive at, that most people wouldn’t understand.

tumblr_mbyopim9VK1rnewhgo1_500

17. She’ll make the effort if it’s important to you
“Fine, but I’m only doing it because you’re my best friend.” Whether it’s an awkward event you can’t bear going to alone or getting along with your new boyfriend whom she despises with every bone in her body, she’ll make the effort because you’re happiness is important to her.

tumblr_mcyvazHPch1r6ubhwo1_50018.  You’re 100% comfortable around each other
You can burp, fart, urinate in front of each other and it generally doesn’t even shake either of you. You both just so comfortable with one another that your disgusting habits doesn’t have a scratch on what you think about each other. If her fart is horribly smelly you’ll just laugh it off, if her burp is outrageously loud you’ll be slightly impressed.

tumblr_m780k2i7u51qghl49o1_r1_50019. She keeps you grounded
We all get caught up in high expectations, hopeless dreams and materialistic things. She’ll remind you of how important the small things are in life, point out the not-so-great things about the new guy in your life and remind you what reality is, keeping your head out of the clouds, but encouraging you to aim for the stars.

8944_34a9_480-gif20. You’re equal in your friendship
Caring about her as much as she does you is the best the way of knowing you’ll be best friends for life. If you both respect, admire, support and love each other than there’s no doubt you’ll be best friends for life. You both treasure this special bond you have with one another and respect the fact that you have each other no matter what happens you’ll be there for each other until the end.

When we were kids, making friends was so easy and came so naturally. However, when we got a bit older, it became weirdly awkward and difficult.

Here are the super awkward moments of making a new friend in your mid 20s.

1. Saying hello
You always see them on the bus, or along the corridor and you know you should say hi, but what if they think you’re a weirdo?!

2. Awkward chit chat
You begin to break the ice and slowly realise…you have no idea what the hell you are doing.

3. Conversation
When you finally get into the swing of things, you begin to feel like you totally have a bond with this person.

4. Social Media
Should you add them or is it still too early?

5. In jokes
You know a friendship is for keeps when you are both in fits of laughter no one else can fathom. It totally wasn’t that funny.

6. Full blown insults
After a while, you can’t remember the last time you greeted this person without adding an insult to the end of the sentence. Outside of your friendship you wouldn’t dare talk to somebody like this, but nothing quite expresses your relationship with this person like random curse words.

7. Family
This person has met your family and has no problems talking to your mother over a cup of tea and a few biscuits. Your parents ask how they’re getting on with life and your nan even lights an extra candle for them for their exam results. This person who you awkwardly talked to about your holidays has eventually become part of the family and you can’t remember a time without them. Totally worth it!

Your friends turn into completely different people on nights out. Your quietest friend suddenly turns into a maniac once she gets a blue WKD into her hand while the really opinionated girl gets very subdued once the alcohol hits. What is going on?! Here are the types of people your friends turn into on nights out:

1. The one that shouts in your ear
They’re not really aware of how loud they’re speaking and the gibberish that they’re coming out with. They don’t seem to be in control of their hands, any minute now they will spill their pint all over you.

Santana_&_Mercedes_shouting_at_her2. The creep
They seem to just vanish into thin air without  a trace left behind. They slither around like a snake looking for their prey. They spend most of the night roaming around the club looking for the appropriate guy or girl and giving them intense stares.

creepy-smile-eccbc87e4b5ce2fe28308fd9f2a7baf3-27183. The one on laughing gas
They think that everything is absolutely hilarious and they’re constantly smiling at you. After a while it starts to get really annoying so you tell everyone else that you don’t know them.

Ricky-Gervais-Cracking-Up-On-Sofa4. Duracell bunny
They’re the one that is constantly getting jelly shots and looks like they’re on drugs. They don’t “dance” per say they kind off just jump around with bundles of enthusiasm.

giphy5. The exhibitionist
They want everyone to look at them and always want to be the centre of attention. They will literally do anything to be the life of the party.

1393706232067_ah-life-of-the-party6. Too drunk to get in
They don’t even make into the club because they’re so drunk and spend the next half and hour arguing with the bouncerIf they could see themselves and how drunk they look, they wouldn’t let themselves in.

giphy7.  Raging bull
They’re always looking for an excuse to start a fight. Anytime anyone even looks in your direction it’s grounds for them to fly off the handle.

tumblr_m85fotJJcl1ry10fwo1_5008. “This is my song!!”
They scream and shout when they hear a song: “OMG!! this is my song,” they drag everyone up onto the dance floor only to realise that it’s not the song they thought it was.

tumblr_mh8caxdKfr1ry6exno1_5009. Drunk texter
You know their night is not going to end well…

tumblr_inline_mp4psj9T4G1qz4rgp

8. The sleeper
When they get really drunk  they start to get sleepy and you find them taking a kip in the corner.

pxeZtaT9. “What do you mean last orders?!”
They will do anything for just one more pint when the bar closes they don’t want the night to end

Airplane-gif10. Touchy feely
It’s as if they only realise they had senses and so they really enjoying touching things. They can’t get enough of touching their own body and when they’re talking to someone they always have to pat them on the shoulder or put their arm around them.

thi11. The cheater
They tell everyone that they’re so faithful to their boyfriend or girlfriend. As their friend you have to keep it a secret when you see them eating the face off every guy or girl in the club. Or if you don’t care you could ruin their relationship by taking a picture.

tumblr_mgimgugmPk1r7f39co1_50012. The hot mess
Their make -up is always running down their face and they end up walking around with no shoes on because one of their heels broke. They were mixing drinks and now they’re paying for it by getting sick on the street while they’re waiting for a taxi.

136371610347116257913. The emotional trainwreck
In combination with the hot mess this can be a real disaster. When they drink, everything just comes rushing out of them they can’t handle all the emotion. Be careful with what you say to them because anything could set off the waterworks.

520159314. The acrobat
They’re naturally flexible and will get up on top of tables or counters to show off their moves. God forbid there happens to be a dance cage or a strippers pool in the club.

q0fIFhx15. And then there’s … you

While we can’t imagine life without our girls, many of our friends can get a little overexcited upon discovering that you’ve finally got a new man in your life. Here are some of the things that we probably don’t need to hear, but do anyway:

Oh My God! That’s great! Good for you!
A common reaction and while it’s a good sign that your friends are happy for you, they probably don’t need to shout their reaction from the roof tops either.

Is it serious?!
Your friends suddenly need to know everything – from where you are right now in the relationship to your future plans. Even if you say you’re just seeing how things go for now, they still need to know something about your current relationship status.

Will it get serious?
Again its early days and you don’t need to start planning for the future just yet.

You looked up his ex?
We all do a bit of Facebook creeping, but it’s never good idea to over think every his past relationships with your friends. Some things are best left in the past or just as a conversation between you and your boyfriend.

Why haven’t I met him yet?
The question all girls will ask and often the most difficult to answer. Meeting each other’s friends is a big deal and while your friends may want to meet him as soon as possible – this is probably something that should be only done, when both you and your boyfriend are ready.

Former Corrie star Michelle Keegan was spotted painting the town red last night as she hit London’s Shaka Zulu club with her closest friends to celebrate her 27th birthday.

Dressed in a white tuxedo mini-dress, the actress partied it up with her pals at the club – and there wasn’t a famous face (apart from her own) in sight!

Taking to Twitter ahead of the night out, she wrote, “Arrived in London with ma girls! Looking forward to @ShakaZuluLondon #excited #birthday.”

Michelle is said to have ditched the celebrity scene to hang out with the BFFs she’s known for years, way before she was famous!

Keepin’ it real Michelle – we like your style!

Apparently Michelle treated all her friends to the night of their lives with champagne on tap and VIP entry to all of London’s hottest spots.
