Flaky is a characteristic you only hope for in croissants

My mermaid neighbor who moved out recently invited another neighbor to celebrate her upcoming marriage at her bachelorette party. The neighbor responded that she would be there - order the t-shirt, count her in for the party bus and for the dinner reservation. I asked her the day before if she was going and she said no. She wanted to hang out with her boyfriend all weekend - no plans, just hang out (and this boyfriend situation is definitely the subject for a future blog).

Another friend had just finalized her divorce and needed a little cheering up. I suggested girls' night and she said "I'd like that." We agreed on Saturday, I texted her that day to firm up plans but never heard back. Guess her new boyfriend cheered her up.

Girls really can be the worst - especially when they have a boyfriend and start blowing off friends.

What the fuck? Have they eaten their manners? If so, it's good they're so flaky - maybe the taste will be better.

Being dependable is even more important for us single people. We depend on our old friends to get through the breakups. Then, when we're newly single, many of our friends are new ones. And when fresh from a breakup, we're more fragile.

Trust is important, not just in romantic relationships, but in friendships too. We single people need to be dependable - especially with each other. When we say we'll do something, we should. Always. A true friend would rather hear no than be blown off. If someone blows you off, you're alone.

One of my best friends is coming for a visit this weekend, and I can't wait to see her. She's one I can trust without question. Always. Next time you see your best friends, give them a hug and tell them how much you appreciate them. Besides, they're the ones who will be by your side when the boyfriend isn't.

Love to the single girls,
Addison
