Soo basically my best friend since 5th grade set me up with this guy a few months ago right after a long serious relationship I had. We both had a thing for e/o lasted a bit didnt actually go out. But after a couple days we decided to be friends because I wasn't over my ex and so wasn't he. Then we developed into friends w/ benefit. But our friendship got to complicated soo just recently we chose to just be friends. Few days ago I found out from my best friend brother that she talks to him now. And they're like super serious. I talked to her and she told me she's liked him so like 3 years. But I don't get why she pushed him onto when she liked him? It doesn't make sense. I didn't know she liked him. Part of me is angry because she didn't tell me herself and the other part of me is mad because she threw him onto me when she liked him . She's my best friend I don't get why'd she do that. And now I told her go ahead and be with him even though its gonna be weird but I can't help but be angry I feel betrayed. I don't care much about him because I never liked him like tons so its not a huge deal but this makes me doubt our friendship. What do I do? :/

AgonyAuntBlondiee agony auntWhen I was younger I used to do the exact same thing. If I was attracted to a guy a lot I used to try set my friends up with him. I think its a psychological thing.

I probably did it because I was shy and didn't want the guy to know I liked him AT ALL. I was always scared of rejection, petrified in fact. So I encouraged my friends to get with them. I always have felt that my group of girl friends were so much prettier than me and had a better chance with guys I liked so if I was attracted to a guy I never wanted him to know, I never wanted to flirt and get rejected. I felt it was easier to put them on the taken list so I wouldn't want to ask them out so much. Stupid, I know.

I used to hate myself for doing it afterwards because I'd get jealous of my friend and it wasreally stupid because it was all my fault.

I grew out of it though, I think its something that comes with maturity.

Maybe your friend had different reasons for it? You should ask her.

Hope this helps :)
