I have a lot of single friends. It angers me sometimes because I can understand why I'm single. But my friends? They are worth their bloody weight in gold. It's like, "Fellas? What are you waiting for? Are you blind?!"
Anyways, when we hang out, as girls do, the conversation inevitably turns to the opposite gender. And whether we've got any romantic prospects. Because I don't have much relationship advice to give, I reassure my friends with an ice cream analogy. It goes a little like this.
You know females who always have a boyfriend or a crowd of boys around them? They are un-intimidating, smiley vanilla girls. You pretty much know what you're getting and vanilla mixes well with almost anything. Chocolate, cookies, birthday cake, apple pie, what-have-you. Guys can be whatever dessert. Heck, churro ice cream sandwiches are a thing these days. The point is that guys can pick a vanilla girl up and basically add her as an accessory. She won't steal your thunder. She knows the drill and will probably accommodate whomever she's seeing.
