What Happens When BFFs Turn Into Foes?

Best friends are the best part of life. You trust them completely, more than you trust anybody else. You tell them the things that you can’t even tell your parents. They understand you more than even you have understood yourself. They know your strengths, they know your weaknesses. They know what makes you happy, and even what hurts you the most. They know all your embarrassing secrets, and your crushes. In short they know everything that your enemies shouldn’t know about. So what happens when this BFF of yours, becomes your foe?

Once a wise person stated that, your best friend can turn out to be your worst enemy. And this saying is so very true. At some point in life you must have felt betrayed by the people in your life. The outcome of betrayal is pain, irritation, frustration, anger and sometimes even vengeance. This is exactly how you will feel each time your best friend hurts you, once the two of you have turned enemies. The other point is that you have been so used to your best friend being nice to you. All of a sudden when they are being bad to you, you might find it really hard to digest it. Your best friend can betray you in so many ways. Even you can do the same. In fact this is the most common thing that people tend to do. Revenge may be sweet initially, but in time it starts getting painful for both. The person on whom revenge is being taken is obviously hurt, but the person who is taking the revenge also has to prepare themselves for a blow that will be coming soon. As a result either party is not happy.

So what do you do in such circumstances? How do you come out of this rabbit hole? Ignorance is bliss. It may be a cliche, but it works always. If your BFF is plotting revenge on you, it doesn’t mean that you have to plot revenge back on them. You can simply ignore them. Let me warn you, this is not going to be easy. But it surely is going to be worth it. In time, they will just get fed up and stop being bad. Your friendship with them has already been spoilt, don’t ruin it more by planting methods to make each others lives miserable. Just forgive them and let go. Who knows, maybe tomorrow your friendship might just start anew.


10 Ways To Make A Girl Feel Special

There must be more than a hundred ways to make a girl feel special. But, the ten ways mentioned below are the most tried and tested. Check them out and see if your guy practices any of them. If he doesn’t, just give some hints here and there and your job will be done.

1. Being romantic in public
One thing we girls absolutely love is affection in public. We girls love to flaunt our guy before our friends. Some flirting and mushiness will definitely make a girl smile. However, if a guy goes overboard with PDA (public displays of affection), then it’s a turn off.

2. Sharing interests
Our hobbies and passions may be far different from those of the guys, but if they try to take some interest in what we like, we will be delighted to show them around. Girls appreciate this kind of care and concern much more than expensive gifts.

3. Talking a lot and prodding about small things
Girls love to talk, whilst boys are more bottled up. We girls like it if our guy asks us how our day was and listens to all the stories that we have to tell. That is why, listening without interrupting is a very essential asset for a relationship.

4. Flattering with small gifts
Small tokens once in a while without any reason or rhyme will win a girl’s heart. A small necklace, a customized head scarf, a box of chocolates anything inexpensive but given with love and hugs weaves magic. Don’t you think, girls?

5. Verbalizing love and support
Girls look for romance and emotional support in verbal terms. A guy may be genuinely there for her, but until he verbalizes that, she won’t be satisfied.

6. Being eager to meet the family
Guys usually associate meeting the girl’s family as a sign of entering a long term commitment. But this is not the case always. Many a times, a girl just wants her guy to meet some of her family to flaunt him off. A guy is not supposed read too much between the lines when family comes into the picture. Just saying a ‘hello’ to them will make a girl extremely happy. Isn’t it, girls?

7. Leaving sweet nothings on voice messages
We girls would love it if our guys find creative ways of saying ‘Good Morning’. They don’t necessarily need to do something as typical as leaving flowers on the door. Leaving plenty of romantic voice messages on the phone and lots of surprises every morning is enough to please us.

8. Playing sports
We girls love the fact that our guys treat us as their equal. Even if we know that we’re going to be horrible at playing a baseball game with the him, we’d expect our guy to just let us play and let us win! This is one of the best ways to make us feel special.

9. Complimenting
We love it when our guys shower compliments not only when we are going out for a party and we’re looking nice, but also on our bad hair days. That is the key to making us feel special. Guys have to let us know that we look equally stunning in our night pajamas as much we do in our black evening gown.

10. Writing a poem
Even if they’re not very good at writing, if our guys pen down a few lines just for us and post that in our Facebook or Twitter page where everybody can see it, we’ll be on cloud nine. Even if the poem is naive and amateurish, we will love the fact that our ‘someone special’ wrote it for us. Don’t you agree upon that girls?

A personal touch and a hint of care and concern in whatever they do is all that we girls expect from guys. Most guys think that girls are a mystery and a complicated breed. In reality, it takes very little to make a girl feel special. Isn’t it?
