I really don't understand why everyone loves Tanyel. I wouldn't trust that girl if my life depended on it. She tries to make out she's a girls girl but I wouldn't have any friend of mine acting the way she does with Ron infront of Lana, best friends or not. She gives 16 year old girl who thinks she's grown and gives great advice to her mates when really she doesn't have a clue what she's talking about, she just repeats sayings shes heard from older adults. And the way she looked Aaron up and down that time whilst shaking her head and screaming in his face... No thanks, I'd have smacked her straight in the gob.
I see your point and that about the girl code thing, but same time I don’t even expect her to be tiptoeing around everyone else to spare their feelings. Everyone’s in there for themselves. She doesn’t know these girls from Adam, they’re strangers she’s having an experience with, and while they do form bonds, if it’s between suiting myself or Whatsherface from Wherever who I’ve known a couple of weeks, I’d choose myself and I wouldn’t feel bad about it. And to be honest I don’t think she’s stepped on anyone toes badly. Ron flirts with Tanyel, Tanyel is a bit flirty back - but it’s minor. And let’s be real, she doesn’t owe Lana shit.
No girl owes another girl shit. Might not make me the most popular person for pointing this out but how many times have you dodged a guy because your friend is obsessed with him? You might really like the guy, and he might really like you and not even reciprocate your friend’s feelings - but you have to never experience that situation because your friend is more important than you? And you’re abiding “girl code”?
Yeah the majority of us do it because it’s nice and it feels like the “right” thing to do - to not hurt your friend - but still, no one owns another person. Girl code seems a lot to me about bowing down to another woman and refusing to go anywhere near that guy she liked once in year 10 who never liked her back cos it’ll hurt her feelings and she’ll hit the roof otherwise. I think
that’s childish. If you pursue the guy, you’re being selfish, but if you don’t, then isn’t the other party being selfish for not seeing that you both have a connection and they refuse to let go of a man who doesn’t want her, and at the same time, refuse to let anyone else?
