Chalkdust89 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Background: About two months ago, I casually mentioned that I thought Friend A's friend (Friend B) was cute, and Friend A decided to play matchmaker between the two of us. He gave my number to Friend B without really asking (saying that B asked for it) and told me B was "definitely into it". The next time I saw B, it was a little awkward but the situation we were in wasn't really good for conversation. He told me we should hang out sometime but never responded to my Facebook message about doing so. I thought I had come on too strong, but he ended up telling my friend he just wasn't interested in a relationship. I wasn't necessarily interested in jumping right into a relationship either, but I thought he was cool and wanted to get to know him better just as a friend. I took it as a rejection, but wasn't too disappointed and moved on. I haven't seen him since, which is fine. Now: I just found out from Friend A that when he gave my number to Friend B, he really hyped up how much I was into him and sort of threw my number on to him (as in, B didn't REALLY ask for it, A asked for his phone and put it in there for him). He told B that he should ask me out and that we would make a great couple. ALSO, it turns out that A and B aren't even that good of friends...they are just casual acquaintances through a group (and I met B while joining A at a group event). He was trying to be helpful, but ended up unintentionally making me sound super creepy, so no wonder the poor guy freaked out when I asked him when he wanted to get together! I am beyond mortified that my one offhand comment about the guy being cute spiraled into this crazy story about us needing to date and me being soooo into him. I'm mad that my friend pretty much lied to both of us, even though I guess his heart was in the right place. I've already said my piece to A, but now I'm concerned about future situations with B. Since there is a chance that I might see B again in the future at another group event, should I clear the air right now and send him a quick Facebook apology explaining that A blew one comment out of proportion? Since it happened a few months ago, is it not even worth talking about? Or should I wait until I DO actually see him (maybe a month or two down the road) and say something then? I've completely lost interest in anything romantic happening with B, but I guess I would just like him to know what really happened (especially because we now have a few more mutual friends). Maybe it could be something we joke about down the road. Maybe it's just an ego thing on my part?
