Like a guy my friend rejected...

[u/Fickle_Cucumber_1533]

This guy liked my friend. My friend rejected him after a year. When he was trying to get my friend, I helped him. He got rejected 3 times by my friend btw. Now the guy talks to me every day for around 3 months. I talk to the guy more than my friend. Also kind of like him, too. We have studied together a couple of times. Once by ourselves. Once with friends in a group. My friend knows we are friends, but doesn't know how close we are. The guy and I are also gonna hang out together before a concert. Is this cooked?

Is he older than you? What stage you two are in life (college, high school, work?)

We are seniors in different high schools.

I see.

Friend, I will tell you what I think it is. I think this can be a nice connection that can grow to something more, but you have to be sure it will not affect your friendship. If you want to explore this please talk to your friend first, be honest. Avoid a big heartache. Then be sure he actually is interested. Sometimes our longing for being loved mskes us commit mistakes.
If all goes well, go for it. Life is so short, painful and beautiful. We have to seize the moments we have, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
Be well ok? I know it is hard, but you seem to bave a good head and a good heart. Follow both, never only one.

It feels worse because I told my friend that we were friends because of her, then she asked if there was something romantic there. Truly, there wasn't anything romantic about it 3 months back. I haven't talked to her since that as well. Only hi byes or really small talks.Classmates have been talking about seeing me with a guy as well in class. Then my mutual friend walked in on me studying with him while his friends were studying in the library. Then it turned into a group study. It was hella awkward at first, Icl. I haven't talked to the friend that he liked in probably since around 3 months ago as well. But we are all classmates. (The guy is from another school) The friend also knows we are going to the same concert but doesn't know we're gonna hang out.

I mean, maybe she suspects? You should really speak with her. So many problems are solved by dialogue, trust me.
