howlzy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Long story. My good friend @Sony12 is familiar with it ;) Half-dated a shy girl but never made a move on her. Not normal for me but she just got out a relationship and she didn’t want to rush things so I hung back on physicality for a bit. Anyway we sort of both lost interest so I asked if she wanted to be friends and she agreed. In her text she said she still liked me but wasn’t ready for a serious commitment yet blah blah we’ve all heard it before. Few nights I went to the same party as her and her friend and I linked up with her friend. All of a sudden she’s acting even MORE cold (which I’m not sure how she managed to do since she literally didn’t talk with me for a week after friendzoning me lol). Like I can tell the whole mood has changed. So is she angry at me for getting with her friend or is she jealous? Both? Like if we’re just friends now what’s the big deal I don’t get it.

I think it would have been smarter to let the dust settle for at least a number of months before moving on to her friend. And did the friend know that you and the shy girl have history? Because if she did know, she's should have been a better friend to the shy girl 2 Link to post Share on other sites

ExpatInItaly Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 This is the same girl you had a few threads about recently, right? Look, you're free to hook up with whomever you want. But you can't be so naive as to think hooking up with her friend is a good look. Come on, man. And you didn't "lose interest" when you had, what, 3 threads going about her within the last couple weeks? At least be honest with yourself here. You liked her a lot. That much is obvious from your posting history about her. And if you're not really talking to her anymore, how is she acting even colder now? Are you still trying to message with her? Because this choice to hook up with her friend is going to close the door to any future chance there might have been. Kiss that goodbye now. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Acacia98 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm trying to understand why you care that the mood has changed. If there was really nothing between you and she was already distant, you've not lost anything right? If the situation really matters to you and you want to prevent it from happening again, in future, 1. Don't "remain friends" with someone you actually like. 2. Don't hook up with their friends. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Gebidozo Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 OP, what’s so hard to understand here? There was obviously some mutual romantic interest between you and that first girl. She wasn’t ready for a relationship, and you started hitting on her friend instead. It’s your choice, of course, you can date whomever you want, but why would you expect that first girl to be happy about that? How would you feel if she hit on your friend immediately after you guys decided to “just be friends”? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If it's all so "lmao" and you were confident that you did nothing wrong, you would have just laughed her reaction off and not given it a second thought. But instead you made a thread asking about her reaction. I think this was not your best moment, and it was certainly not her friend's best moment. But it is what it is, and the shy girl is entitled to feel whatever she feels....especially if she really did like you despite not being ready yet. All in all, you were right to not wait around, but this was a bit too close to home for her. And truth be told...real friends, the ones who don't have complicated friendships.....are most often the ones who've never dabbled in romance Edited May 10 by basil67 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sony12 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 This is about the fourth thread this guy has made about this girl. I think he has some issues about himself he needs to work out before he puts much focus on dating. He's making a thread about a friend of a girl he says he hooked up with. No he's not trying to make someone jealous at all. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

smackie9 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) She felt incredibly devalued, and you lost any credibility with her. Just be movin on now. Edited May 10 by smackie9 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Sony12 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Not only did you try to make her jealous but you also insulted her friend. Don't think for one second that the friend doesn't know what is going on. Maybe you should join a monestery for a little while where you won't be around young ladies, lol. Edited May 10 by Sony12 1 Link to post Share on other sites
stillafool Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 From your other thread, I see you found out her ex was the reason she lost interest in you. If this was the case you were within your rights to hit up her friend and anyone else you wanted. I don't see why she'd have a problem with it if she wants her ex back. What I fail to understand is why was it so easy for you to have sex with the friend but not try to kiss the other girl after 3 dates? Link to post Share on other sites
mark clemson Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The original dating girl doesn't like you anymore, you can't be with the friend girl without the original girl being an elephant in the room for both of you. The whole thing sounds awkward. Sometimes, if you've managed to make a mess of things WRT how potential romantic partners feel about you, the easiest AND most sensible thing to do is just walk away from the whole thing and try to do better with someone new where there are no weird loose ends. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If he legitimately was starting something with the girls friend because he had a thing for her as well that would be one thing. But he flat out admits on this thread that he was trying to make the girl he has made multiple threads about here jealous. Link to post Share on other sites

But he flat out admits on this thread that he was trying to make the girl he has made multiple threads about here jealous. Yes, very true. It's one thing if he was genuinely interested in her friend but like you say and as evidenced in this thread, that doesn't seem to be the case. Link to post Share on other sites

MsJayne Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) 6 hours ago, howlzy said: OKAY i like her a bit goddd and yes i wanted to make her jealous but i didn’t expect her to actually get mad So you used her friend to make her jealous. You did it to be cruel and Shy Girl knows that because she's way smarter than you. You say you're attracted to her, but you deliberately did something to hurt her, (emotionally abusive and you're not even in a relationship with her! Tsk, tsk). Sounds like her gut-feeling told her to be wary of you so she played it safe by backing off, and then you showed her that her gut-feeling was spot on. She's not mad at you because she's jealous, she's mad at you because you used her friend to prove how shallow you are. I use the term 'friend' lightly, an actual friend wouldn't have gone there. Shy Girl's out of your league, you need to aim much lower if you want a girl who'll play juvenile mind games with you. I suggest you ponder the relationship between your ego and your intellect, one is running the show with very little input from the other.

Judging by your posts, I’d rather say 14-16. The only appropriate reaction to your statement is a resounding “DUH!!” 1 Link to post Share on other sites
