GIRL CODE, PART DUH!

Let me first say that I am not in the business of hurting people's feelings. That has never been the purpose of this blog. But I am also not in the business of keeping quiet when people hurt mine. 

So! That said, I think "Girl Code" has become unnecessarily complicated. With all the rules and degrees of friendships, no one would ever be able to keep track. "Well she dated him in high school so it doesn't count...she's a friend of a friend so it shouldn't matter...she has a man, so she shouldn't care...I babysat for her three times so she owes me." 

Girls, it's so simple. Girl Code is knowing the difference between right and wrong, and choosing right. If you find yourself in a predicament involving a man and another woman, you need to ask yourself one thing. If I do this, will it hurt her feelings? If you even have to hesitate or debate the reasons why it shouldn't hurt her feelings then the answer is an automatic yes. If you answer yes then you need to ask yourself one more question. Is it worth it?

We become so focused on landing a man that we sometimes lose sight of who really matters in our lives. That guy you're going to fuck is probably going to be out of your life as soon as the drama from the situation dissipates. That chick you screwed over could have been a source of love and friendship for the duration. 

But we've all been there. No one is perfect. And I know that at our age, we are going to step on some toes trying to find our perfect guy. But when in doubt, ladies, just ask. You owe her that.
