I’ve always preferred to interpret “You gotta get with my friends,” as meaning that the potential mate must first sexually satisfy the eight Leader Friends before moving on to the four Elite Friends and finally being allowed to take a swing at the Champion. She’s a very selective lady and her besties are out here to make sure she only receives the finest.

Story time!

I went through basic training for the army. They take your phone and give it back for 5-10 minutes as a treat. So first time I get my phone back, I find one single text message from a number I didn’t know. All it said was “hey there sexy”. I replied and found out I was dumped and my now ex had given my number to someone. We started talking after training, she tried to say she was drunk when I replied. Well we figured to give it a try. I thought I could break up with her after a couple weeks. This went on for 6 months. Me giving the relationship another 2 weeks every two weeks. We’ll eventually took her to her senior prom, met her parents, and helped her move in with me a couple months later. It took a couple years but we were happy. Eventually we got married in a short and sweet wedding attended by my nephew and best friend as witnesses, another ex was there and her mom was a priest so they helped with the wedding vows. That was over a decade ago. Still happily married.

“Are they flirting or just being nice?”

I still won’t believe you and will just think you’re saying it as a joke.

if you wanna be my lover
you gotta get with my friends
make it last forever,
friendship never ends.
if you wanna be my lover
you have got to give.
taking is too easy,
but that’s the way it is.

Yeah, very much this.
