So my friend has been trying to set me up with her husbands friend for years. Even when he had a girlfriend. I recently became single and he hit on me quite brazenly soon after. He knew it was a bad breakup and so did my friend…
My friend continued to drop heavy hints about him. However if i’m honest I felt like I got mixed messages from him. It seemed like he just wanted to get in my pants as soon as I became single? He messaged me a lot in a way that you’d think would build up to going on a date.
However then this mutual friend tells me he’s actually talking to and dating other women. So I take a step back, in all honesty i’m not 100% ready to get in a new relationship so soon after my breakup and I don’t need someone else blowing hot and cold on top of everything else going on…
Anyway this friend suggests we go away on holiday and she asks if i’ll organise it because she can’t be bothered. Then the next day she put me in the groupchat if this guy wants to bring his new girlfriend!? It just seems like a set up? Like this mutual friend is trying to smooth things over for him so he doesn’t have to communicate with me… like forcibly drawing a line in the sand and i’m just expected to go along with it.
It’s an odd situation and funnily enough I don’t fancy hanging out with two couples on holiday whilst I 5th wheel! Least of all with him. I feel like they’re taking the piss!? I feel quite disappointed in the both of them.
