mortensorchid Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 In recent weeks, my friend "Jack" has been razzing me quite a bit about my crush on his friend "Larry". I would reply defensively saying I'm not interested in Larry in the slightest. Jack would still rib me, saying he knows my mannerisms too well - Looking into Larry's bedroom eyes, the exchanges of smiles, the tee hee laughing, etc. - and he told me that I was full of s---. I said, "No, Jack, YOU are full of s---! You don't know what you're talking about!". Just recently, I gave into my hormonal urges and admitted at long last that I have a thing for Larry to my friend Jack. Instead of gloating, Jack was outraged at me! He said how could I want to be with Larry?! He's a local rock god, has women all over the place and will treat me like crap. I was shocked at this. He was telling me before how I was going to give into my primal wants, I was resisting, and now he's angry with me?! Didn't he WANT me to go for Larry the whole time? And now that I have admitted my thing for him, he's angry with me?!
eric82 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 This is an easy one. Obviously Jack wants you. All of the ways he's been accusing you of acting towards Larry --mannerisms, giving into your primal urges, etc.-- were really just things that Jack desires and wishes would exist between the two of you. Jack teased you a lot about Larry not because he wanted to be proven right, but rather the opposite: he wanted you to repeatedly prove that his jealousy of Larry was wrong and unfounded, because then it means, at least in Jack's mind, that he might still have a chance with you.
Krytie TV Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Jack has always wanted you and just wanted to hear you admonish the other guy. I'm sorry you couldn't see that from the beginning. Jealousy, thats all it is, nothing more.
confused and broken Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 okay just in case you needed clarifying AGAIN Jack obviously likes you... He was bugging you about liking Larry because he was worried it was true and was hoping you would deny it forever to ease his mind... now that you admit it he is livid because he likes you... and he's jealous
refurb Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 How old are you? This sounds like high school stuff. RF
