Double Wedding Postponed (Indefinitely)

The BFF and I have both been abstaining from FJOs during our recent bouts of singledom. Much like how the markets needed time to recover, so did we.

But recently she met a cute, younger guy who is working his first job in finance. Having only dated older FJOs, the two of us had no idea how bad those at the bottom of the totem pole have it. Seven days a week, considering "midnight" to be an early release, never seeing the light of day.

Then it dawned on me. It's basically hazing. Except with a paycheck.

For example, he was telling us how last week the older guys took them out to a club. The FJOs-in-training were left with their credit cards ("We could spend a few hundred on each, but not thousands" - I guess the recession isn't over?), but after their fun, they were expected to go back to work. Ugh. Hell Week with bottle service.

Anyway, even though his schedule has been an impediment to them hanging out, boy oh boy is this guy super dreamy. Think Young JFK Jr.

And, OMFG, did I mention he has an identical twin brother!?!?!? I literally died. Commence dream sequence of beautiful, preppy, Hamptons Double Wedding of the Century.

But then, after a night of hanging out with them, which included their other roommate dancing up a storm with me (why, again, is it that guys think I just loved to be spun and dipped? DON'T THEY KNOW I HAVE A HEART CONDITION!?), things took an interesting turn.

No, unfortunately that turn of events was not us eloping. Tear.

It turns out The BFF's interest is listed in a relationship on Facebook! If this is the case, why on Earth would he accept her friendship request?

Perhaps it's because he's a child who doesn't know better?

Sigh. There was so much potential there. By, there, of course I mean us marrying gorgeous brothers so we can become real sisters! Not so much in her relationship with him. I mean, he literally works every second. Ew.

Disclaimer: The BFF would like everyone to know that she is still a baller and has plenty of other, non-relationshipped guys on her roster. Just in case anyone was concerned.
