At first I posted this tongue-in-cheek New Yorker article on Twitter the other day for a laugh. But then I got to thinking that – hey – this might actually be the way forward. No more being blindsided, disappointed or backstabbed out of the blue by someone you thought was a friend that actually liked or cared about you. Just have everything up front from day one!

Plans can be bundled and of course they can be changed at any time. Cancellations accepted with polite notice (explanations not required). Failure to do so just proves you weren’t worth it from the beginning.

So here are my Friendship with Shawn Plans…

Acquaintance Basic
Just the basics. Casual friendly chat and banter. No fuss no muss.

Tapas Research Assistant
Self-explanatory.

Casual Plus
Acquaintance with benefits (no not THOSE benefits). The most popular package which includes a bit of light friendship as required.

Friend
The previous three tiers (and then some) bundled into a fun and friendly package of shared chat and experiences, caring and support. Just remember that it goes both ways.

Premium Content
Trust me, you probably can’t afford this one. 😉
