And then there were none...
Yet another boy orignally enamored of me has fallen victim to my best friend's wiles. I'm sick of it. It seems to happen all the time, no matter who my best friend happens to be. It's like a rule. If a guy likes me, then meets my best friend, I cease to exist. And the horrible thing about it is that the best friend does nothing to stop it.
Case in point: my current best friend (who shall remain nameless, even though none of you know her) has a boyfriend. I have a friend from class who seemed to really like me (i.e. calling me all the time, hanging out with me, fixing my car door for me, asking me to come drinking with him, etc.). He met aforementioned best friend a few weeks ago. By last night, he had her phone number (easily and shamelessly given up by the best friend), and was calling HER from the car he was in to find out what street we had turned down on the way to a party, even though he also has MY number. Of course she brushed it off and told me I was being ridiculous ("AGAIN, Jesus, Liela), until two minutes later when he came up to me and asked if she had said anything to me about him. I wanted to throw my drink in his face. But instead I answered quite snottily "You have no shame, she has a fucking boyfriend." And if that weren't snide enough I quickly added "And by the way, next time you want to hang out with Amber, why don't you call her instead of me, since you obviously have her number now." I don't think she knows what he said, but she definitely knows that I'm pissed about the situation at hand. However, when we left the party ten minutes later, she made no move to apologize or explain or even assuage my fears by reminding me that she has a boyfriend.
I'm very disappointed at my lack of ability to be of interest to anyone at all, so from this point on, I wouldn't expect much in the way of correspondence or visits from me. I've become painfully aware of my current situation as the girls who's "just a friend" that her actual friends seem to treat like shit.
