Dear Girls,
I’m sorry that your boyfriend is a douche bag.
I’m sorry that he kept checking out that skank with the cleavage at the party last night. I was there and I thought you were radiant; I could hardly take my eyes off of you.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend gets jealous whenever I text you while the two of you are hanging out. (not really).
I’m sorry that he blew off plans with you this weekend so he can go out drinking with his friends. Speaking of which, now that you are free on Saturday…
I’m sorry that your boyfriend won’t stop smoking no matter how hard you try. Smoking is one of the few things that, even if you wanted me to, I would still refuse to do.
I’m sorry your boyfriend thinks that you’re smothering him. I would call in sick at work to hang out with you even if I’m broke.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend got drunk and made out with another girl. If you’re planning to get drunk and make out with another guy so you can get back at him, you best try someone else because I’m (unfortunately) too much of a gentleman to take advantage of you.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend lets his best friend make rude comments about you. If I wasn’t such a timid person and a great physical coward, I would confront him and tell him to stop.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend won’t try to get your parents to like him. Maybe if he wasn’t an unreliable, untrustworthy, worthless pile with no job and no future. By the way, I saw your mom at the grocery store; we stopped to chat for a few minutes.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend refuses to apply himself in school. Sure I can talk, no I’m not busy, I was just reading. For fun.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend forgot to pick you up after work and your cell phone battery was dead and you had to ride home with your creepy pedophile assistant manager. You could have called me…
I’m sorry that your boyfriend lied to you and said he loved you and then cheated on you and left you. Maybe next time you should have him show his feelings for you through his actions toward you. Like I do.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend won’t talk to you when you try to start a conversation with him. Maybe you should- wait, where are you going?…. okay, bye, ttyl.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend is acting distant and doesn’t want to talk about his feelings. I’m sorry I’m too timid to tell you about my feelings too.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend gets mad at you over little things that aren’t important. You know how you get all pissy when he is being a douche bag and take it out on me even though I’m trying to make you feel better? I forgive you.
I’m sorry your boyfriend is a douche bag. Maybe he isn’t really a douche bag and doesn’t know that the things he does make you angry. Maybe instead of complaining to me all the time you should talk to him and give him the chance to change his actions so that you will be happy with your relationship, because I want you to be happy, even if that means I wont be.
I’m sorry that your boyfriend is a douche bag. I’m not a douche bag…
Sincerely,
Nice Guys

I’m sorry Casey, but sometimes girls don’t see the nice guys. If you want to talk about it, I’m around, I mean, I know I have not the best brother, but I’m here if you need me bud.

I think that this is a great post with wonderful heartfelt writing and is so very true. But I have to believe in my heart, that not only will a nice guy eventually win, but he will also find a much more rewarding and longer lasting relationship in the end.

I agree with anotherlostsoul, the nice guy has to win. He just has to.

Ha, thanks for the link, it’s a pretty good article too. This article was inspired by another article, http://www.stwing.upenn.edu/~jenf/writing/rant04.html and a little bit by the song “Praise You” by Fatboy Slim. All of these “apologies” are sadly enough, true stories lol.
