Hi

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine, who we shall call friend A, informed me that she loved me. A few days later she recanted that statement. Another friend, of mine( friend B) told me that Friend A didn't love me. 2 days ago I saw them kissing. I don't know how I should feel. I don't feel jealous, just .....I guess that betrayal is how I feel. How does one handle such a situation?

I would feel like I had been jerked around. Perhaps friend A and friend B were at a critical point in their relationship and used you to figure it out. It doesn't mean they don't care about you, just that they momentarily only thought of themselves and not how their little game with each other would affect you. Happens all the time.

You feel what you feel, there is no should. On the other hand, what should you "do" with these people? I think you should be polite but don't depend on these people for friendship or anything else. Look for new friends.

I think i might have to have a little distance from two friends who were pulling such stunts - even if they're not being intentionally confusing.

Well, they are two of my closest friends. I don't want to cause a rift between us, I'm getting angrier with each passing day. I don't know how to confront thew. I am becoming obsessive again-this is a sign that my psychotic symptoms are returning.

I found out today that they are now dating. I'm currently confused with regards to the way they were acting. She told me that if we were dating than she would cause me nothing but pain. I don't know what to do now :(

Send them both packing, she is quite clearly a b*tch and he obviously doesn't care enough about you enough to do something about the way she is acting towards you.

You are better off without the pair of them.

There's no point to dating for men beyond sex. Everything else is window dressing and stupid games that people play to mask the fact that status-chasing and lust drive human relationships.

It sounds like you need to ditch these two and focus on bettering your lot in life. Don't ever do anything for them because they will never do anything for you.

Tell them to go s***w themselves. They're taking advantage of you.

Maybe for you but not for me. I see the relationship as far more important - that is what will last well beyond the age at which we can still have children, and why I'm not interested in every pretty girl who walks down the road.

About 15 years ago I took a girl out on a date. After I took her home she ended up sleeping with a mutual friend that night. I didn't talk to either of them since then.

ABout 3 years ago I saw her again as a teller at a bank. I don't think she recognized me.

People who lie aren't worth waisting time. I recomend just walking away.

Keep telling yourself that and see how far it gets you... :roll:

What do you mean? That I won't get a girlfriend? That I won't get sex? A combination of both? Sorry, it's not very clear to me what you are suggesting.

You should feel her up with your hands in somewhat of a groping motion. That's how you should feel. 8)

(I'm joking, you might get in trouble for that)

Feel about it however you like. Chicks are weird and fickle, it's probably best not to care too much about what they do unless you've been on several dates and are planning on marriage.

Were you interested in a relationship with Friend A? If not, then there's no problem and you should just forget about the whole thing. If so, well... You should still forget about the whole thing.

I wouldn't be so quick to just cast off your friends as others in this thread suggest. Everyone can be inconsiderate of others' feelings at times and it's best just to let things go, lest you wind up with no friends.
