Being the third wheel can be the biggest pain ever. It's a scientifically proven fact and yet, every single person out there who's ever been invited out with her bestie and her bestie's "baby-boo" continues to third wheel it. They continue convincing themselves that things will be different this time around. But they never are, and at least one of these painfully awkward things are bound to happen...

1. They try to get you to pick sides when they argue. You want to side with your bestie, but you don't want their SO to hate you since you know they'll totally make up. It's a lose/lose, and you'd rather not get involved. 

2. They want you to keep secrets... from each other. You know you're friends and everything, but you don't need this unnecessary pressure. As if being the third wheel wasn't already hard enough.

3. Your bestie brings him everywhere. Which makes basically anything you would have said to her on what was supposed to be a girls' night impossible to say.

4. The PDA is endless - And you’re just sitting there thinking about what went wrong in your life…

5. Your friends start feeling sorry for you and start with the ever so annoying one-liners like - "It's just a matter of time, you'll find someone soon..." 

6. Alcohol is your new best friend. So what if you’re forever alone? You will always have a giant bottle of wine for company. And that's enough. 

7. You feel like everyone can tell you're alone when you're with them. So you'll resort to anything to feel less alone, like fake texting, or look for other third wheels in your vicinity that you can third wheel with.

8. Every time you go out with them, you wonder why you agreed to go out with them... again. But it never stops... and before you know it, bam! It's another dreadful outing with the lovebirds.
