We've all been that girl: your best friend gets a new boyfriend and suddenly you're relegated to understudy in the play that is your mate's life. Not long ago, you were the starring role getting roses and knickers thrown at your feet and... This metaphor has gone on long enough; you get what I'm saying. It's pretty devastating because the person you spoke to about how uncomfortable your tampon is that day or whether one eyebrow is bigger than the other suddenly has another very important person in their life. And one that can (if they're lucky) bring them to orgasm, which is just unfair because you can't compete with that.
22-year-old Rachael Ryan, from Ireland, had just this problem when her best mate Katy Philbin got a new boyfriend and she 'lost the person that is always there 24/7, to listen to me talk shite' although she did 'wish them the best of luck for the future and everything it holds.' Instead of wallowing in the grief, she decided to advertise for a new best friend because, hello, that's how you make friends nowadays.
The prerequisites to be her BFF include the following:
-
'must be very flexible with their hours, mostly evenings and weekends'
-
'must enjoy eating out, Nandos preferably'
-
'keen interest in the "lols and the bangs"'
-
'loyal and trustworthy'
All things that form the basis of a solid friendship, tbh. Speaking to the Irish Mirror she went on to say 'If someone else thinks they could be my new besto add me on Snapchat : youngryaners'. So there we go, if you think you're up to the job, give it a go. Let us know if you're successful, yeah?
