Breaking the News that you are dating someone to your Friends..!!

Breaking the News that you are dating someone to your friends is always a big task but it gains more mass and thus more inertia [law of inertia applies in normal life as well.. :P] when the object of your affection is known to the breakee. this is when it becomes a tricky thing. so obviously the reactions would vary depending on the breakee. I have observed three such kind of reactions which are briefly discussed below.. [:P]

The reactions of the breakee varies from disbelief, to sheer emotional drama, to showing off being an Omniscient.

The disbelief is expressed as “you must b trolling. Tell me the truth now, you little Troll..!!” Come on, don’t take us for a fool. I know both of you, you can’t be dating. I asked you before, you two denied it. Were you dating then as well? And if you say no, we just started dating and only now we are serious about taking it to the next level. Then they go back to the denial state where they know your relationship status better than you..[ :P]

No offenses but they should agree you could hide it from them, so they should say, “wow, never knew you could really hide things so well.. [:P]

Now let’s go over the Emotional Drama. It is often expressed as “I thought we were friends and you never told me that you guys were dating.”. These people are your good friends but their reaction makes you wanna cry..!! How can you create a scene over why I didn’t tell you before. Personally I find it the most irritating response. The disbelief is so sporting and kind of cheerful. But this is a sheer pain to go through. Please spare me the emo drama, after all I am in a relationship where there would be a hell lot of drama, so please you don’t walk down that lane..!! [K]

Now is the time for the lovely Omniscient’s reaction. Even they are as surprised as the others but they try to hide it behind a ‘I knew it all”. This kind is as cute and lovable as the disbelief guy. You can pull their leg by asking how. And since you now know the theory, you can apply it to whatever case it seems fit for and easily fake the knowledge of the truth. [I know I said it like a true studious bug..] [:P]

However different the approach is, the surprise element is still itching for all of them. And who doesn’t love a surprise.. [:P]

Yeah, yeah.. You love it only till the point you aren’t at the receiving end of such surprises.. [:D]
