My friend stole my potential man!

Question - (18 July 2006) 3 Answers - (Newest, 1 August 2006)
A female , anonymous writes:

My friend and I were at a club on Saturday night and I was too shy to talk to a guy I thought was cute and she went up and got his number for me. Later on I plucked up the courage to ask for it myself and when I looked at the number he gave my friend it was different. She text him and he had given me a fake number. She text me yesterday and said that he is very intelligent. I hate rejection and can't help being a bit miffed at her that she text him and is kind of rubbing it in that he chose her over me. We both have problems with poor confidence.

I don't know whether to tell her that this hurt me, because she was initially trying to do me a favour. I don't want this guy to come between us but if the situation was reversed I would have told the guy that he treated my friend badly by giving her a fake number and left it at that. I was too hurt to even ask her if she intends to keep in contact with him.

My friend text me a few days after I posted this saying that she was going on a date with the guy - I got angry at her and asked her why she wanted to date a guy who was so rude to me - she avoided me for two weeks and then text me today saying she does not want to be friends because I made a big deal over her dating this guy and did not ask her how the date went - I feel sick about this! I've helped this person alot and she responds by ending the friendship over this!

How did a favour for you turn into a chance for her?

I'd ask her if she was being vindictive and what made her thought to do what she did?

I would most certainly tell her how you feel.

Being betrayed by someone you care and trust in hurts big time.

Also, stop and think...if he gave you a fake number; why would you be mourning over something that could never have happened?

I think you are more hurt by your friend then by some guy you don't really know.

Discuss your issue with your friend and hang out for a man who is interesting in YOU.

Best wishes.

rhc88 agony aunt Hi,

I would have a discussion one to one with your friend and tell her how you feel, a real friend will back down and delete this guys number from her phone and since you’ve both only met him on Saturday it shouldn’t be too hard for her to do so and he certainly should not becoming in-between two friends.

Best of Luck! :-)
