I know a lovely bloke, and I met him through a woman friend of mine. He told me this evening that she'd asked him out last year (Jan) saying she'd always liked him in that way. He liked her but was shocked and wanted to take it slowly. She expected him to jump into bed with her and he isn't like that. In November she rang him and told him she was in love with him and she knew he didn't feel the same way, so she wasn't going to see him any more. The thing is every time he asked her to go out she had an excuse, and he did really like her. He was gutted over the summer because she seemed to be giving him the cold shoulder. He was also confused because he didn't think she knew him well enough to be "in love" with him. 1, how can you ask a guy out? 2, how can you just ring then and say you're in love with them? To me concerning the situation she said that her sister had tried to set them up, but she wasn't interested in him like that, and she has also said she won't let anyone get close to her. She's lying to someone, and this bloke is really lovely and if I were her I'd go for it. I don't fancy him myself, however, I have enough other stuff to think about and I like him as a friend, he's very good to talk to, bit of an agony uncle really. (And a bit too old for me tbh). It's left a bitter taste in my mouth and left me questioning a lot of stuff.

I think I would just file this under "None Of My Business" and concentrate on my own relationships, tbh.

Sorry, but I don't really understand how you are so badly affected by these two people's 'relationship' to the point it has made you question a lot of things and feel bitter.

Surely it is their business and you can't possibly know her motives or if he even has the right end of the stick - it sounds as though no one really knows her very well, certainly not yourself.

I really would try and move on from this. People do odd things, and it might not even be odd, you just probably don't know the whole story iyswim?

Oh god - why are you even giving this the amount of time it took to type that post out?

Nothing to do with you. Suggest a hobby?
