Your bogey loves you more than anything in the world. They want to see you happy, healthy, and with an optimistic outlook on life ahead. They would do all these things at the drop of a hat, and you can guarantee that there's nobody else that they'd rather spend time with.
However, although she is devoted to you wholeheartedly, that does not mean you should be the only person your bogey spends her time with. Just as you may want to go out and have fun with some of your male friends, we believe that it is best for your bogey to find her own social circle. The bad news is that this is not as easy a task as it might sound. Even if you are the pinnacle of extroversion, you have doubtlessly noted that your bogey is a bit of a homebody. You might be thinking, 'Well, yes, but she chose to be with me of her own initiative, right? Can she not do the same with others?' Well, about the first half, you'd be right. In fact, for some particularly brave bogeys, they can manage the second part on their own. Unfortunately, it is a rarity.
It is not that bogeys are timid, per se. A bogey that is loved by her husband will most definitely possess enough self-confidence to not shy away from social situations. It's more like our bogeys don't possess any social connections yet. They are still new to the whole life thing, after all. Anyway, we sort of passed this task off to you. Even if you don't have many social connections of your own, don't be alarmed. We have reason to believe that you will succeed in this endeavor.
Just a note: Telling a bogey that she needs to make some friends is, on its own, useless. Bogeys are so enthralled by your love that they may justify you as all they need. If you want to help your bogey make friends, you will likely have to employ some sort of trickery or special encouragement. The former may be a tad dishonest, but your bogey would understand if she knew you were doing it with her best interests in mind. We get that you may not like the idea of deceiving your wife in any context, not after all she's done with you, and that's definitely OK! If anything, we admire your commitment with her, we're just putting that option on the table in case you think it will prove useful.
Now, it is of course common knowledge that most members of a mamono species exhibit a certain disposition. For example, bogeys are near-universally gentle and devoted creatures, as you have surely noticed by now. From that, you can likely conclude that your bogey will get along with certain species better than others. Mamono with gentle and kind souls will find themselves fast friends with a bogey. On the other hand, mean-spirited and cruel mamono will likely end up mocking your bogey for how lovingly she speaks of you. We will use a close-to-home example: Demons. While we employ demons to serve as couriers and deliver bogeys to our clients, a bogey and demon getting along and becoming friends is something we consider extraordinarily rare. There's just too much friction in their personalities for it to work out a vast majority of the time.
The tragedy of a bogey's introversion is that mamono that would be their best friends are some of the hardest for them to get to know. For example, we have noticed that bogeys and kikimory are nearly perfect friends, but both are hard to get out of the house. The latter especially has trouble prying herself away from her work. If these two were ever to meet, their similar dispositions and domestic interests would make them like two sides of the same coin. Unfortunately, this will almost certainly require their respective husbands to plan carefully for it to come to pass. Don't be afraid to reach out to a kikimora's husband, if you know one, and start plotting a way for these two to be together. He shouldn't be worried about your wife interfering with his wife's work; if anything, the idea of a girl's night out will probably make her work all the harder in order to make the time.
Double dates can work phenomenally well in the right context. If your bogey has met a male friend of yours– let's say, for example, that he comes over to hang out frequently– she'd probably be thrilled to get to know him better. After all, if you're friends with him, he's gotta be a pretty good guy, right? If he's married, she'd definitely tag along to meet his new wife. From there, you'd have to see how the two of them hit it off, which will once again probably come down to the compatibility of their dispositions. Spend some time with the other guy, maybe find an excuse to get the girls together. It may confuse her, at first, but if the other wife is in on it, she'll find a way to ease your bogey's concerns.
Whatever the case, once there's a foot in the door, your job is done. Your best bet now is to back off and allow your bogey to spend time with her new friend. If they hit it off, your bogey will find herself with a burgeoning friend group! It should come as no surprise that she will likely be the 'group mom', providing them with emotional support and affection just like she has with you. Don't worry: She'll always save the best for you. You are the love of her life, after all! You're not going anywhere on her list of priorities. You'll probably notice that she appears a lot more chipper, though. It's the consequence of a solid social life, eh? We think you can live with it, wink-wink!
With that, things are complete! You and your bogey are all set to have a wonderful life, finding comfort in one another! By the end of this book, if you have been following our instructions carefully, you have become a whole new man, a better man! And if you ever doubt it, just read the afterword on the next page. You didn't think Jasmine would stop at a simple introduction, right? She has a few parting words for you as well, words that we believe you should keep close to your heart. If you'd like to read them now, just turn the page. This is the last time, we promise! If you'd rather save them as a special surprise, we understand. Just keep this booklet in a safe place and come back to it if you're ever having a bad day. Until that day comes, you have a life to live, so go show the world what it means to love and be loved!
