when I was in high school, in my senior year, I had a crush on this boy who was friends with my friend. one day I asked her if he had a gf or anything, she said she wasn't shre. then I asked if she could hook us up, she said she'll learn if he has someone and if not she would. a couple of days later she told me that he liked my other friend so I let him go.
just a couple of months later, after prom graudation and us getting into colleges, he contacted me and said he liked me but our friend told him that I liked someone, just like she did to me. turns out she didn't wanted us to date bc if we dated and broke up our friend group would got ruined so she lied to both of us.
he also told me that he wanted to kiss me at prom but didn't. I asked why, he said he wasn't sure if I'd kiss him back or slap him so he stayed back.
