I moved to a new city about a year ago. Found it difficult to meet new friends, but become friendly with a couple. Saw a lot of them. Turns out that they have an open relationship. Nice for them, not my thing and not interested. Just wanted to be friends.
They introduced me to a group of people I could have seen myself being friends with. They were very much the group leaders.
Got really really drunk together one evening, and one of the couple made a real move on me. I rejected. Later that night they tried to make a move on me again, and I just laughed it off and left.
Since then they’ve sort of distanced themselves from me. I also noticed I didn’t get invited to any of the ‘group meet ups’. Then one day, one of the group reached out for a walk. It turns out that the guy that propositioned me has been telling the group that I led him on, told him I wanted to sleep with him, and then when he made a move, I rejected him. And so this is why I am being excluded it seems.
Do I just cut my losses and forget about them? I feel like I want to set the record straight because I come across as crazy & my name has been trashed with people I was hoping to become friends with.
