"  I didn&amp;#039;t realize how true the clich\u00E9 &amp;quot;misery loves company&amp;quot; was until I became suddenly single. I vividly remember fuming the day after my breakup, when my good friend and her boyfriend practically made out in front of me. Then, the guy asked how I was doing with my breakup! Not smooth on his part, and it was very unappreciated by yours truly. I may have even rolled my eyes right in front of his face.  What was frustrating was that my good friend didn&amp;#039;t see the problem with having her boyfriend over to my apartment when I was going through a breakup. I&amp;#039;m not faulting her happiness, but couples in love can often be oblivious to anything else around them. In a twist of fate, that duo broke up a few weeks after my breakup, and it amazed me how much easier it became to be around my friend when she became single too. Before, she always seemed to go everywhere with her boyfriend, like they were a package deal. Now, it&amp;#039;s nice to have girl time. I find myself straying away from my friends that are coupled up and tending to hang out more with the other single ladies in my life. In retrospect, I&amp;#039;m sure that my single friends were annoyed with me at some point when I was the one in a relationship. It is really hard to balance boyfriends and friends, so I can sympathize with both sides. Luckily for me, the majority of my friends are single. It can be hard to find a great guy who wants a committed relationship when you&amp;#039;re in college, and my school&amp;#039;s gender ratio isn&amp;#039;t in our favor either. I guess birds of a feather do flock together! All my single ladies, how do you feel? Do couples annoy you? Isabelle :) Isabelle blogs for Seventeen about dating every Thursday.
