The Substitute Boyfriend

Greeting people the following blog is sttus one of my good fiends posted on Facebook, and it was too great to not share with the masses, because I try to give sound relationship advice on this blog. Its so true and brilliantly broken down that I wished I had, so what the next best thing share. I hop you enjoy , but most importantly apply it and analyze yourselves. This following was written in its entirety by Samuel Pierre

Although I have personally disproved the falsehood of nice guys finish last and have learned how to never get in the "friend zone" and how to get out of it and stay out of it(and I'm not telling), one position that women put men in that still makes me smh is the SUBSTITUTE BOYFRIEND. This dysfunctional relationship takes on many forms and happens even if the guy does not like the girl. 1. You remind a girl of the guy that she actually wants but he doesnt like her. 2. She doesnt like you but is lonely so leads you on just for the attention. 3. She knows you like her but for reasons all her own, treats you like her man, even though it is not official. This is different frm 2 because she actually likes you too. 4. She is using you to learn from a real man how to mold her actual man, your feelings for her be damned. 5. She is using you as a placeholder "just in case". Usually just in case the guy she likes "comes around". 6. She is attracted to you physically but not in other ways or vice versa. ‎7. She knows you dont like her but thinks she can change your mind so tries to entice you into a relationship you dont want, all the while she has an actual man. Very hard to tell who is the actual substitute in this case. 8. She knows she made a mistake and is trying to take you out of the "friend zone" she put you in against your will.9. For some reason she has become very needy with her guy friend and she makes this guy her man. Soon after she abandons him with no explanation.10. She is just plain evil and likes playing with mens' feelings. BONUS: When her man is absent or lacking in any way, she brings in a substitute or few. I think you all can see that the running theme is one man being temporarily replaced by another,or one man being used as a placeholder until the "right one" comes along or "comes around". Think substitute teacher. I am sure you can think of other situations i missed that fit the label. -  Samuel Pierre
