Telling people what you really feel...and getting hurt because of that.

Tweet

I need to get this out of my mind, I'm not very experienced in this, but... here I go anyway.:) One of my friends recently told me he likes a common accuaitance of ours. I've known this girl for a couple of years now and to be honest, she isn't worth his trouble. I didn't interfere because I thought it wouldn't be good. I've talked to both of them, she's aware of his feelings, and dosen't share them. He dosen't know this. But despite that, they spend a lot of time toghether, as friends. He sais she's giving him signs that she likes him too. Recently, he told her how he felt, and she rejected him. The last couple of days he's been locked in himself... To be honest, I never had such deep feelings for someone like my friend had for this one girl, but after seeing what happened to him I don't know if I want to... My question is: Why are some people like this? She led him to believe something that wasn't real, and now he's hurting because of that. Why didn't she tell him in the first place? And should have I intervened in the first place? I think this was partly my fault too...
