I’ve had the worst luck with friends lately.

Okay – let me not exaggerate, I’m talking about one friend. He was one of my best friends. My closest, my bestest, someone I trusted, someone I leaned onto, someone I was there was, someone I wanted to see often, someone that knew a couple of my darkest secrets that no one else did. And then one day, he blocked me from everything that we were tied to through social media. He never responded to my text messages and just like that – it was over.

He was my friend. He had told me last year that he liked me and I told him I didn’t feel the same. He knew that was what was going to happen so “no hard feelings” and we moved on. We continued our friendship and because we both knew that this was nothing more than a friendship, our friendship grew stronger. I went to him for advice; I talked to him all day. I missed him more. I wanted to see him. He told me his everything, he was there for me, he stood up for me, he cared for me.

Then what happened?

I know that I’m at fault. This is the night of the formal, couple days before formal my date told me he won’t be back till late so he won’t be able to make the event. I was pretty upset and I told this guy and he was like “why don’t I be your date?” and I thought yeah why not. In my head, I’m thinking my friend is being my date! Yay! So then the day of formal my actual date told me he’s coming back in time and will be able to attend. So I wait for him and go with him. Meanwhile someone tells this guy that I’m coming with my date and I guess he gets very upset and leaves formal.

I know I was wrong in bringing another guy while I had a friend date, but I had told my friend how much I liked this guy who was my actual date….

I know I hurt him. But does that really mean that we can never be friends? Did I mistreat him?

I apologized to him and he responded saying “All I wish is that I never met you”

Am I really that horrible?

Maybe this guy had feelings for you as more than a friend and it was too painful for him to continue the friendship. I know lots of people are all weird about feelings and stuff thinking it is going to ruin the friendship or something. Whatever.
