Do I tell my friend that our male friend doesn't fancy her?

[oneofsuesylvesterscheerios]

I need some light relief from my own problems and want to be all teenage and talk about my two friends.

We're all mates. They are both single, obviously I'm not.
She fancies him.
He was oblivious until last night.
Last night he guessed when she had gone home after she'd been a bit moody with him.
He was very shocked. He said he really likes her as a mate but doesn't fancy her at all.

She made me promise some time ago that if he ever revealed to me that he didn't like her in that way I'd have to tell her so she didn't make a fool of herself.

She's got a huge crush on him now.
She'll be gutted.

Part of me thinks we should just ignore it all and hope she goes off him when she gets no joy for a while longer.

But part of me thinks I should tell her because she'll be even more gutted if she finds out I know how he feels about her.

what are we - 15?!

Do I tell her though?

Op ,can I ask whether you fancy him at all? Just the impression I got from a couple of things you posted.

I was thinking the same thing nowherewoman.
OP are you secretly happy that he doesn't fancy your friend.?

No I don't

and I'm not pleased or displeased about how they both feel about one another, as long as we can all stay friends. I've got a few years on both of them and it makes me glad I don't feel that horrible insecurity you get when you fancy someone and you're not sure what they think of you. It took me a fair while to bag dh and I'm very grateful he saw the light

what Beautiful said earlier

....perhaps you could find a way where you don't have to lie but somehow be tactful....like, say that you have observed his behaviour and that you don't think he fancies her.

You reminded me of another RL situation where woman and this bloke ended up going out after woman told her friend that bloke didn't fancy her.....be wary of this as your friend will be pissed off and not trust you if you ended up with this bloke.

I don't think dh would be best pleased if that happened

I saw her yesterday actually and we talked a little bit about him. She started by saying how annoying he'd been the other day and then she still thought he liked her but was too shy to say anything at the moment.

I then said from what he'd said the other day to me, there wasn't anyone he fancied at the moment. She said 'oh - perhaps I'm wrong then' and then a bit later went on to say 'but maybe he just doesn't realise it at the moment. I'd be very good for him you know...'

I'm just going to leave it be for now. Who knows, maybe they will end up together? I know how persistent I was with dh at the beginning and how hopeless it looked. And here we are 2 dds later and 10 years of marriage...

But I think I'm stepping out of it. If it's meant to be, it'll happen.
