Nice to have found this thread.
Anyway, i would like to share a situation from a good friend and would appreciate if there's anyone who would like to share their thoughts with this. I know this might sound like the usual story, but if you can spare me some thoughts, i would really love to hear your opinions and help convince my friend on how stupid she is.
"I have an officemate, a few years my senior,and single like me. And in the past year, we have been hanging out almost everyday. He used to drive me home everyday, talk about our lives, dreams, families, etc. But it never felt like 'dating'. (Well, being the proud and independent person that I am, I never made any thing out of it or at least showed that I was romantically interested even though i knew i was starting to really like him.) This went on for more than 6 months --eating out, drinking, sleeping drunk in his car, endless flirting-- until he told me that he was planning to date this girl. This girl that our other officemate hooked him up with. Since I was in no plan to show i was interested nor did i think that he was serious about this girl, i encouraged him. So it goes without saying that i suggested all the things he should do in dating this girl. Even to the point of constructing his text messages for the girl, etc. Most of the time, he complained that the girl was rather plain, boring, and conservative. With that, i took to mind that that he was never serious. So it was quite a surprise for me when after 2 weeks of courtship, they became an item. Shocked because i thought it was not serious and that he was partially interested in me, i stopped the whole lets-talk-everyday-on-what-you-should-do-next. I told him he's already in the relationship and its only right that he does things his way and not with my advices all the time. But even during this time, he voluntarily complains to me about the girl, on how she's too silent, boring, frugal, etc. and all those times, i just kept silent.
I was just too annoyed. I mean we flirt for several months, drop me for someone else and constantly complain to me about it?? Cmon.
So i chose to enjoy my own life and stopped hanging out with him.
Then after 2 months, he started asking me out again--this time with his girlfriend. They would drop by my place, or invite me dinner, and drink together, etc. One time he offhandly commented, "Turuan mo nga tong girlfriend ko.."
Anyway, i found it to be a friendly thing lang. Til one night.
He asked me to go with him once to buy presents for girlfriend. Then we had dinner and a few drinks after.
Needless to say, we both got drunk and ended up sleeping together.
Of course, i felt all emotional. I like this guy. This guy who chose to date someone else, this guy who complains to me about this someone else...and this guy who i considered dear to me.
I know he just used me. But i couldnt bring myself to hate him or delete him out of my life. I tried.
But after i ignored him for 2months, we had a chance to hang out again (remember we're officemates) and bam, slept together again.
I honestly do not know what to do with him."
I vote, kill him. haha What do you think?
