Bros Before Hos

Keep your friends while in a relationship

At the start of a new relationship, you may find yourself consumed by your new flame. All your time is spent with her and your calendar is booked weeks in advance with your shared plans.

The losers in this blissful situation are your friends -- the ones who were there when you were single. It's easy to find the guys being pushed out of your plans as you embark on a new and exciting relationship, but it's also wrong.

You need your friends -- you always have and you always will. That's why our Bros Before Hos Rulebook will guide you through the tricky process of balancing your girl and your guys. Here are the rules to live by.

Don't break plans with the bros

Scenario: "Dude, I know we're supposed to be watching the game, but she really wants to go look at wallpaper."

The ultimate rule in the Bros Before Hos Rulebook is to never cancel plans with your friends in order to do something with your girl. In the good old days, a gentleman's word was his bond; if he said he was going hunting with the gang, he went hunting.

After making plans with your friends, you may find that your girlfriend comes up with other things to do like shopping, visiting other friends or spending a quiet night in.
