Rules for Dating my Friends

Thats it, no one else close to me is allowed to get in a relationship! Okay, I'm exaggerating, they can, I just won't be happy about it! Within the last week 2 more people have gotten into relationships and no more! Its not even spring so I can't blame Spring Fever. The worst is that my close group of friends was a group of five...now two of them are a couple and the other guy is now interested Jareds sister, so that leaves Jared and I. For those who forget, Jared is the guy who I have had an on and off friendship, now officially and finally off, for the last several years. So that unfortunately just leaves me and him and it feels either like we SHOULD be a couple or like we're a fifth wheel, even though theres two of us. He wants a relationship still, I don't, so I have to put some space between us.

Now the new couples are off doing couple-y things, including the ever irritating ditching every other person so that they can spend every waking moment with their significant other. Do I sound bitter??? Maybe I just don't like changes. Slow, gradual changes are cool. But this was like a freight train! But before things get all crazy in my head and I start ranting, allow me to describe my group of friends.
Jared - known him for about 10 years now, really good friend of mine. Have had an on and off relationship over the last few years that I finally put an end to which was a relief. Hes a fairly attractive guy, a gentleman, football player, handy around the house, all that. Basically any other girls dream. But its just not right for me. Its one of those "its not you, its me" kind of things.
David - known him for about 7 years, awesome guy, and hes huge! Hes a football player as well and definitely fits the role. Really sweet, has his quirks but nice enough. A ladies man. One of my best guy friends. Going out with Keri.
Taylor - just met him about 3 years ago, friend from high school. Very funny guy, lots of fun. Only just recently got closer to him, interested in Jareds sister.
Keri - one of my closest friends, just met her 3 years ago. She was very different then, into drugs, always in the wrong relationships. Started coming to my church and completely changed. Shes amazing. Very sarcastic and cynical, a typical anti-cheerleader kinda girl, I love her. Has liked David for about 2 years now, now hes finally returning the interested, I love it! Its about time.

And then theres me. So thats our group. We all went to the same high school. All did everything together. We were really close. And then the relationships started coming in. The group has split a bit. Keri and David are always off together. Taylor will only hang out with any of us if Jareds sister is there, and even so they will usually vouch to go off and do their own thing. Which leaves Jared and I. Now that we know the history of Jared, we can see why that might be a bit awkward. Needless to say either Jared needs to find a girlfriend soon or everyone else needs to knock it off and quit doing the "puppy-love, couples-only" crap.

Maybe its just PMS.
