Do you think she felt put on the spot?

Question - (18 June 2023) 1 Answers - (Newest, 18 June 2023)
A female United States age 16-17, anonymous writes:

My friend has been single for awhile. The other day I sent her pictures of me getting ready to go out with a friend and it is not a date. I told her before that this summer I was taking a break and focusing on not dating and being single so I think it is interesting she would now want to take the time to date. I told her it was not a date because she overthinks sometimes and since I was dressed up like I was possibly going on a date I wanted her to not be confused. We have talked about plans for weeks and maybe she didn't tell me that detail it just seems to come up randomly and she never spoke about dating this guy or even mentioned him before. We talk almost daily so it is weird.

All of a sudden she tells me she is meeting with a guy that she used to date and they are going out to dinner that same night and then will be hanging out the next day. She is typically a genuine person, but when it comes to this I think she is lying. She talked about dating guys before in the past but none recently until.

She has always told me how she is so ugly and no one likes her, so I told her I thought she had maybe never had a boyfriend before based on those type of comments she shared. I also said I was even wondering if she was into dating women. I then told her it doesn't matter I would support her and accept her for who she is either way-fat, ugly etc because she is my friend and I care about her.

She responded by saying in addition to the guy she was going on a date with that night she had a couple of other long term serious relationships with guys and she was all into guys. But, it doesn't add up or sound right. She is pretty open and honest so maybe I am reading too much into it. I feel she is lying about her dating that night to try and one up me, about some of her history and possibly being attracted to women. Do you think she is being honest or did I put her on the spot about dating and her sexuality so she felt she had to say those things?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (18 June 2023):

Who knows? Only her. If she's your age, 13-15, any LTR's couldn't have lasted more than a few months. Maybe you never knew her during that time so you have no evidence or proof. OK. Let's say she's lying: why would you jump to the conclusion that she likes girls? Maybe she feels like a lover and wants to be reassured that she isn't so she acts like she's dated before.

Again, we don't know and it doesn't matter. If she does like girls, which is unlikely, it's none of anyone's business until she's ready to say.
