It's been just about a year now since I've opened up my circle of friends to include the likes of Jerry and Stevie, and my life has grown increasingly better and happier thanks to them. I'm sure Jen can say the same. The only drawback is that we're two men and two women and we're all attracted to men, so we have the occasional dispute (drunk, at 2 am, when flirting runs the most rampant and judgement has already passed out for the night.) Therefore I recently drafted some rules that should prolong our blissful moments together and keep us out of harm's way.

Hm. Maybe we should establish some rules?
1) If two members of our group of friends like the same person, the first person to express the crush gets dibs. This would only be pre-empted by
A) the second crush-er asking the first crush's permission to make out with/have crush on said crushee.
B) the second crush-er happens to be more aligned with the crushee's sexual orientation, therefore the second crushee gets make out dibs.
2) If one member of our group has a crush on someone, but makes out with them or takes them home and decides they were insane to have the crush in the first place, then someone else in the group is allowed to have a crush on that crushee (although why would they want to???)
3) Flirting, ass-grabbing, and other public activities between the group of friends and crushees are allowed, but use your best judgement when taking someone home (obey the above rules, if possible.)
4) If two members of our group get drunk, they are entitled to make out with one another, regardless of sexual orientation.
5) However, should two members of our group get drunk, and should their sexual orientations be incongruent with one another, both members are entitled to bringing home someone outside of the group for serious fun when the evening ends and Splash kicks our drunk asses out. No crying allowed at this point, if it can be helped.
Let me know if you find the above mentioned rules too stringent. I think the smartest route of action is open communication, so if these rules seem to restricting, let's just be honest with each other and we'll all have a good time.
Oh, and I can think of a real life example of just about every single scenario mentioned above, so if your memory is clouded and you need a concrete example, ask away.
