Etiquette When you are NO longer a Singleton

What is the etiquette when it comes to the transition of singledom to coupledom or non-singledom?

I mean take it as it is, singles are generally always 'seeking'. (heck even some ppl who are in a couple are still seeking - but that is another post) Even those singledoms that say they are 'happy and content' in their singledom still have it in the back of their minds so really they would be in a state of 'happy denial' as far as I can see. It ranges from this feeling to feelings of severe crippling neuroses and low self confidence and the never ending questions of whether it is the fault of one's self or whether it is the lack of quality in those available in the opposite sex.

THUS! I ask, when one experiences these insecurities in the 'singledom world' and then by some luck of the draw - or the horseshoe up the ass - they find a significant other or potential significant other .... What is the etiquette? By this, I mean the etiquette in treating those others who have not crossed into the 'other world of coupledom'. An educated soul would quote the anonymous saying of "Tread softly ... blah blah blah" I forget the whole saying actually (hence Im not that educated?), but you get the point.

Soz I was talkin to my newly-found-a-guy-cuz-I-got-a-horseshoe-up-my-ass gf. She laughs off her pokes.
"now dont forget to stay single ok? hehe"
"oh lookie me I got me lota men! haha"
poke poke jab jab. Har har. Bleed bleed. Yes I do laugh it off and call her the biatch of all biatches- no, not for finding a guy - I'm happy about that - but I call her a biatch for her insensitive Jabs! INSENSITIVE I SAY!..... but not sooo long ago she was in the same singledom world herself wailing things like
"Sigh, its so bad, where we gona find men... where? where are they?!"
"Gah, I hate it when my cousins who are married talk about their kids or husbands then turn to me and ask me about having a bf yet" etc etc.
Ah but how quickly she forgets! Maybe penises are memory-erasers? I dunno.

So I gave her the etiquette rules (and elaborated on some here):
1) No more bitchin from you! about singleness - that is reserved for me and me only! If you try to complain about men then it wont work - I see through your false attempts - the emptiness behind the words (ie. dont try to be "one with the single gals" - cuz ya aint! - you are sooo excluded and shunned from the club! hehe and this is such a desirable club to be in :p)
2) No rubbing it in (see statements above) - its not funny! - dont forget where you came from! And yes, I joke but I do bleed, especially if you catch me in one of my fragile moments.... then I go KABOOM too! And I know how comfy you feel when that happens! hehe
3) Dont be picky with the guy (you are with). For example: 5'9 (in height that is! Dirty ppl!) is good, dont wish for 6'2! (Its almost like saying to a starving person: "what? I got white bread instead of whole wheat??!AAAhh I dunno know if I want it." Food is food people! Just eat it! .... ahem...anyways....)
4) NO more perverted-ness-es! You were single and horny so you made alot of jokes: "All I need is .... to fertilize my eggs!" You cant be perverted anymore I dont wanta hear it! So stop wailing it in my ear! "cock cock cock!" sheesh! You got it now, so STFU! I mean that in a nice way :) (not that I needed to hear all that before anyways - however, I think this rule is only reserved for this particular gf I am talking about ;p)
And last but not least:
5) I dont wanta hear about your sexual exploits with the man!!!! The visuals in my head would be etched on my brain and would definitely scar me for life and maybe then I would definitely stay single forever!!!
Oh and I think there is a "chicks for dicks" rule here somewhere but .... I couldnt find the blog I found this term from...grrr

Well there.... I got that off my chest! whew! I realize this may all be a little premature - given that this friend has just gone out on a couple of wonderful dates with the guy.... but it needed to be said... since the INSENITIVITY has already begun! OUCH!

And to newly-found-a-guy-cuz-I-got-a-horseshoe-up-my-ass gf:

Memorize the above! I will call you on them when they happen! (ie. "what did you say? Did you not learn rule #2??!)
And when all is said and done and when things work out for the best, which I hope, Im happy for ya gal! (as long as you dont piss me off with your insensitivity :p) You definitely deserve a great guy cuz you are a great gal (Of course - only because you are friends with me - the great one hehe- Though in my opinion I deserve a great guy more than you ... this IS my blog isnt it? I can say what I want! hehe)
But all I'm saying is to just try walking on a little more egg shells ok? You know how it is. :)
