Sacrificial Lamb
under RelationshipsWhat do you do when you find out your 100hookup is JDating both you and your friend… and doing so knowingly? Well, you can be flattered for starters. You like your friend and you made the decision to be friends so therefore you must deduce that your common 100hookup has amazing taste! But how do you decide who should continue dating said 100hookup? By leaving it up to the 100hookup you are giving up all semblance of control over your heart and your friendship. He or she has continued dating you both, so maybe you should give him or her a taste of their own medicine by both of you dumping the loser! Except what if the 100hookup isn’t a loser and you both are awesome and you both are still interested? Well, you could both continue dating the same 100hookup, but don’t be surprised if you lose your friendship along the way. I endorse poly-dating, but not when it can hurt feelings. So take a step back and use one of the following measurements in order to fairly decide who will jump ship.
-who met first?
-who has gone on more dates?
-who has spent more time getting to know each other/who knows more about the prospect?
-who has gone further sexually?
-who has “that feeling”?
It shouldn’t take much more than these questions to figure out the answer. Save the friendship. It’s never worth it. And if that couple ends up becoming a 100hookup success story, then the sacrificial lamb better be honored in the wedding!
