As the Entertainment Editor here at GG & CEO of the sexual relationship bible BlogXilla.com – I have LITERALLY seen it all! But yet there’s always some type of relationship drama, that I witness which seems to be a bigger deal that a chick’s new pair of Louboutin’s.. This morning while looking at the pictures for the Sex and The City after party I noticed Chris Noth and Kristin Davis were a bit too close for comfort. In my mind I couldn’t get there characters out of my head. On the show Chris Noth dated Carrie, and Kristin Davis was best friends’ with Carrie, so why is she all hugged up on her man?
There is an unwritten rule that friends don’t date people who dated their friend. Yet, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that we should end this rule this very second. Why should be put boundaries on the people we date? Now before you get upset hear me out.
