AIBU to ask you your quick opinion on this scenario

I'd really like to hear other women's perspectives on what they would think was likely going on in this scenario.

A man has a 1am missed call from a women he worked with briefly in the past. When he texts her in the morning to find out what's up, she says she'd been thinking about wanting to catch up with him, but that last night her friend had picked up her phone and dialled his number. She's a little embarrassed and it's clear her and the friend had been drinking the night before.

What would you imagine the scenario to be leading up to her friend hitting call?

Option 1. The woman 'like likes' the man to some extent and wanted to reach out to him. She was discussing him drunkenly with her friend, and the friend was egging her on to go for it and get in touch, eventually forcing it by ringing him and handing her the phone, laughing.

Option 2. The woman has no feelings towards the man other than wanting a catch up, which she mentioned, and her friend just decided to hit call.

Option 3. Other scenario, outlined in post

So he hardly knows her, yet feels the need to be 'supportive'? Would he be this supportive to the 50 year old male neighbour? Giving up an hour of his time to lend a caring ear? Yeah right.

She sounds like she wants a relationship and frankly, your dh sounds like he's interested, too. I'd nip this in the bud, OP.

How do you know for sure that there was not more involved in the past than just an acquaintance.
