Dating Tip: Do Date Persons in a Bromance or Homance

(Sorry - I couldn't find another word for girl crushes, and it rhymes.)

If you're straight and have found yourself dating a man or woman who is in a straight relationship with someone of the same sex, put this in the "pros" column of your pros and cons list. You will sometimes be a little jealous of the time they spend together and of their inside jokes, but you'll get over it, mostly because the inside jokes aren't funny. The bro or ho loves your significant other in a way you never will, or, should I say, in a way you will never have to. Think about it: Do you really want to see that movie? Do you really know or care what they are talking about? Did you really want to go to that thing? Of course not. This other relationship provides your boyfriend or girlfriend the attention he or she needs while you can pay attention to yourself.

what if your significant other is in several bromances? Could we maybe call it a "bandmance"?

A bandmance = even better.
