Keeping it short. I knew this guy (n) and girl (m). M and n dated but broke up due to toxicity. N came to me with it and started being flirty. I was VERY strict saying no to him BC M was still my friend and I didnt want to be w/ him since I only felt platonic AND it was a fresh breakup with him and my friend. Later a mutuals adds a girl (E) for N so they can date. E and N started talking nd I was good friends with E but I also lost N bc he distanced himself. Later E took a break and N came to me flirty, this happens twice and E comes back twice and he ghosts me after she returns. Then last time around Nov he started flirting again and even tho I did somewhat like him, he still talked w/ BOTH my friends and I first ghosted him like he did me and he said "do you hate me" "you don’t respond", like he didn’t date both my friends and treat me like a backup plan…! I was very dry, then I blocked him. I wanted to tell my friend bc I felt guilty but by the time I was she had already unadded me and I didn’t want more issues with N or talk to him.
I admit to talking and flirting w him bc I thought flirting was a joke as I always joke like that and I dont know if I liked him platonicaly or not and I recognize my wrong doing and apologize. Aitah
