Ugh so... ages ago (and a few times after that), I've attempted to ask my bestie out on a date. Each and every time, I've been rejected. Which, cool, okay, I get it. She's aromantic, she doesn't think of me in that way, she's just not interested in having a romantic relationship. It's cool. She's rejected each and every other guy who's come her way as well, so of course, I would've been no different. Do I still like her? Yes. But I also respect her decision to not engage in a romantic relationship with anyone, because that's what she's most comfortable with.
But now, some dude in this game we play on, who's literally only known her for three days, comes along. And at first he's just like, let's be friends. And this is totally fine. We're both fine with this, of course. But this being an online game, he quickly decides that, no, he wants to be with her. He likes her! And it's only been three. Fucking. DAYS. And of course, my bestie flat-out rejects him. Dude, you barely even know her, and she barely knows you. What makes you think she'll be with you? And most people would lay off her for a while, maybe try again in another week or so. No, he keeps pushing to be with her. At first, he tells her, "Make a choice: be my girlfriend, or ignore me forever". And like... what the hell? There's no such thing as being friends? K, my friend, being the nice and naive person she is, decides to try to take a third route and just reject him, but keep being friends with him, and hope that his infatuation dies down. But now, he's changed courses, to "even if you ignore me, I'll just keep trying because I like you".
I'm fucking fed up.
She's made it perfectly clear she's not interested in him, SEVERAL times. But he insists and does things like, buy her things (and I don't mean little gifts, I mean like, the most extravagant and expensive things in the game, simply because he has the money to get them), take her bossing, and continually try to win her affections. And it's been three days. I'm so fucking fed up, and she insists on keeping him as a friend when he's CLEARLY not interested in that because he's just too thirsty for pixels on a screen and the personality/character he projects onto her. I don't even know what to do at this point, I'm just so frustrated at both of them and at this whole situation.
Also, am I jealous? A little bit. Because she's toying with the idea of maybe eventually going out with him if he persists long enough and she gives in. According to her, "it might take a persistent person like him to make me fall in love". Like... hello? I've been here. For YEARS. Trying to go out with you, and I'm persistent too. But no, apparently it's some guy who's only met her for THREE DAYS that makes her toy with the idea.
I'm so bitter, so incredibly bitter. Maybe I'm just pulling one of those "nice guys" things right now, but this whole situation infuriates me. I don't even know what to say to her whenever she brings up anything he does. I'm just... I'm so fucking done. I want her to be happy but at the same time I don't think she's making good decisions at the moment if she 1) continues to drag him along when she doesn't think she'll end up with him, and 2) toying with the idea of GOING OUT WITH A GUY SHE'S LITERALLY JUST MET.
Maybe I'm just being really biased and jealous right now, but... ughhh. I don't even know anymore. I just needed to vent somewhere, I don't know who to talk to about this whole thing so I'mma just mind splurge here. Ugh.
Please excuse me, I'm having a pretty terrible time right now.
