To think my friend totally cockblocked me

Met a guy at the weekend whilst out with my mate. Didn't manage to change numbers, no worries it happens.

The next day she sent me a picture message of a message he had sent her on FB asking for my number (they have a mutual friend). She asked me if I wanted to give it to him and I said yes. A week passed and no fact, she even asked me twice if he had text.

Anyway I've just had a message from him on FB (not sure how as my FB is totally locked down, with my first name and middle name). He said he knows I didn't want to give him my number but wanted to message just in case I changed my mind.

I messaged back and said oh I told X to give it to you. He sent me a screenshot of their convo where she said oh I don't think she's up for it sorry!

She totally just cockblocked me didn't she?

She has form for it. Will often wedge herself in between of me and a bloke in a club etc.

She's married (unhappily) so it's not like she was in with a chance!

That's really not something a friend would do! How close are you supposed to be?

converseandjeans · 08/07/2016 17:38

Yes!

pussinasda · 08/07/2016 17:38

did she fancy him she sounds abit jealous

AgingJuvenileBinkyHuckaback · 08/07/2016 17:40

Bloody hell. That's completely unforgivable. Call her on it, then tell her to fuck off and stay at home with her boring husband in future instead of coming out with you.

Cockblocked · 08/07/2016 17:40

Very close! Best friend close...

I'd bloody go on a date with him now just to wind her up tbh.

Biscuitbrixit · 08/07/2016 17:40

Yeah! But question is now, what are you going to do about it?!

HerRoyalNotness · 08/07/2016 17:41

Shock. That's rather peculiar of your friend. Glad he got in touch, sounds like he's interested to see you again

I did have a friend though that when going out for dinner with a bloke she liked and asked if I wanted to go with them, she told me to "dress down". I refused the invite. It's not as if I'm Elle macpherson

Have you called her on it?! She's horrible!

Cockblocked · 08/07/2016 17:42

I've sent her a message saying WTF, did you tell that guy I didn't want to give him my number?!

Ditch her! Fucking hell what a nasty jealous conniving bitch! No wonder her relationship is tanking! I bet you don't know the half of what she does/says.

Deffo go out with him.

ProcrastinatorGeneral · 08/07/2016 17:45

I'm intrigued to know what she says. Especially if she denies it, unless you've already told her you have proof?

nannylife · 08/07/2016 17:45

wow that's pretty odd! Is she jealous do you think? Let us know what she replies

Floggingmolly · 08/07/2016 17:46

Cockblocked... Did you coin that particular phrase yourself?

sooperdooper · 08/07/2016 17:47

Good for you for calling her on it!

Are you going to meet him?? You really should!!

Wow what a GREAT friend 😂😂😂 yep you were definitely cockblocked! I'd have to say something to her! What a bitch! How does that saying go..."who needs friends..."

wizzywig · 08/07/2016 17:53

Who is finn? And i must congratulate you on the phrase cockblock. I want to use it but have no idea when i will

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 08/07/2016 17:54

Cockblocking really is a word these days. Not made up by the OP.

Your friend acted appallingly. Hope you and handsome stranger have a very happy future together. Grin

Pinkponiesrock · 08/07/2016 17:54

I'm so using that word, although being married I don't think I'll be subject to being a cockblockee, more likely I'll be the cockblocker Grin

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 08/07/2016 17:55

Cockblocked is really common round here. I never thought it was regional!

She did. I think you may need to actually call her on it, too, although it'll be interesting to see what she says if she doesn't know you've seen a screenshot.

I'd struggle with her lying. And deciding she knows better than you. She was going to let you think that he'd just decided not to text you, when she'd decided he shouldn't. That's pretty close to unforgivable, in my book.

Careforadrink · 08/07/2016 17:55

Cockblock is straight out of Geordie Shore lol

"With friends like this, who needs enemies?"
