Serena Syndrome

We all have one or two. I hope not more, because that'd be highly unbearable. We have a friend or know someone (married, in a relationship, or single) that thinks every guy in the room wants them. You know. You are having a peaceful conversation and all of a sudden she is whispering to you about the guy a few tables over who is obviously staring at her. He couldn't possibly be checking out you or one of your other three friends at the table. Nope, it has to be her.

You love this girl and like that she's in your crew. But you just want her to check her guy-dar a little. And like Serena on Gossip Girl, she may act like she doesn't want the attention. Yet can't stop talking about it. And you just want to yell "Then, stop flirting!" There is some truth that any guy in the room will focus on the girl batting her eyes, twirling her hair, and using the rest of her flirting repertoire. But it doesn't mean they want her. They, like many others, like attention too.

Interestingly enough, you and your other three friends may have noticed someone checking you or them out. But, unlike Serena, you don't feel it's worth mentioning. It's only interesting if you are checking the flavor out too. Serena, hasn't noticed this trend. She continues to talk about everyone. So, if you are friends with Serena, just turn it into a drinking game or shopping game. Every time Serena talks about that guy who wants her (that she doesn't want to talk to) take a drink or add $5 to your shopping budget. Then it's fun for everyone!
