"One couple and three tight friends&amp;amp;#133;sorry, no room for you! The next time I hear a girl complain that her gal pal has disappeared into Boyfriend Land and is now ignoring her, I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to cite this Oxford University study. After questioning 540 people, researchers found that on average, people have about 5 friends they see once a week and to whom they turn when there&amp;amp;#8217;s drama (one of those might also be a family member). But when you&amp;amp;#8217;re in love, you lose two of those; the guy becomes one of the BFFs, so you have only about 4 close friends total. So buddies who are being neglected are not alone. And the person in love is doing what is normal, statistically. I guess when you&amp;#x27;re excited about someone new, you inevitably have to stop bitching with a few of your pals in order to make time for the guy. There are only so many hours in the day, people! Has this happened to you? Do you drop buddies when you get into a new relationship?
