Pete Alden is an expert at being a third wheel. 

He chronicles his adventures on Instagram as a single 29-year-old with his brother, Ben, and his best friend, Marissa, who happen to be engaged. Naturally, he spends a lot of time hanging out while Ben and Marissa try to be, you know, a couple. As friends pair off, third wheel-hood can be an inevitable state. But Alden has some tips on how to ensure that three’s not a crowd.
