"Hi, I'm the third wheel. Pleased to meet you."

I have this friend that always seems to make friends with guys who want her. I don't know if it's on purpose or what, but it is very irritating. My friend is blonde, blue eyed, nice, pretty etc. Basically, everything a guy could want right? That's lovely and all...but trying being her shabby, artsy, asian friend with her guard up. By this I mean, I like to figure people out before I let them know about me. This doesn't mean that I am a mean person, I just like observing someone before I let them get close. Some might say I am intimidating or slightly unapproachable. I may come off rude sometimes...but that's only because I'm testing the waters. haha if ya catch my drift. Anyway, my friend likes to include me when she meets new people. Which is wonderful, I love being included...the only problem is when we meet, the person is always male...and always has googly eyes for my friend. The funny thing is, she doesn't even notice it. However, me being the observant person I am, TOTALLY see it.

It's very annoying when we go to hang out somewhere...like for example, the movie theater. We buy our tickets, grab some snacks and take our seats. More then likely my friend is in the middle between me and the male friend. Conversation commences...and who is talking? Oh no, not the three people hanging out...the male and my blonde friend. Talking away. What's the conversation about? Let me dialogue.

The dude: "So what are you into? Like what music and stuff blah blah blah"

My friend: "Ohhh, um you know I like blah blah blah"

The dude: "Oh cool so what do you-"

You get the picture right?

Basically, the guy asks her all these questions...much like you would if you WERE ON A DATE. I always ask if my friend is dating the guy and she just chooses to awkwardly bring me on the date without me knowing, but it's always a "no" and it's always "oh we're just friends".

Thats fine and dandy, but where's the part where we all act friendly AND NOT JUST FOCUS ON EACH OTHER. My friend claims every time that she's not interested in the guy, and I believe her because she's a nice person, and can't tell people when they're being assholes. So, this is where I come in. At this point, I'm irritated as fuck, and all I want to do is take a seat somewhere else or leave. I lean over and stare at them, I'll probably cough in a way that gestures "excuse me". I get their attention, and kindly with a slight irritation in my voice ask them something along the lines of "So, like how's the date going? You too gonna kiss now or what? Should I sit somewhere else? Am I ruining your little date you got going on here?" This is the part where they smile or laugh not knowing whether I'm making a joke or I'm legitimately pissed. lol. Then, my friend puts on her girly voice and says something along the lines of "No brittany, Geez". I can tell by her voice that she knows I'm mad. By this time, I pretty much hate the guy. I know that he's just some hormonal dude who wants to hump my friend and "fall in love" because guys are fucking retarded like that.

I'm not only pissed by the dude wanting my friend and wanting nothing to do with all being friends, I'm also mad at the fact that I'm sitting here pissed when I came to have good time, and now I'm awkward because the guy put me in a position to be ignored. All these factors make my blood boil, to the point where I want to hit the fucker. To make it worse, most of the time, the guy will ignore my obvious annoyed mood and keep talking to my friend, to which she will continue talking back because she can't ignore someone who is trying to speak to her, or even tell them THAT THEY ARE BEING RUDE. Inevitably, I become angrier because of this.

By this point, I'm angry as fuck. However, I can't do anything about it. If I ask my friend to leave, she'll say no, and if I leave, she'll follow me and make an ass out of me. Saying I'm being ridiculous....

But what she needs to do is put herself in my shoes for once. Unfortunately, that will probably never happen because she's far more good looking, thinner, nicer, and everything a guy wants, and I am not about to change myself to get the attention because I would hate to put one of my friends in the position I am ALWAYS in. It sucks ass to be honest.

TL;DR
Guys are fucking lovesick puppies when they meet my gorgeous friend therefore causing me to feel awkward and angry when we try to hang out because all they want to do is ignore me and try to woo my friend.
