Literally, the same thing could be said about the best He knows that he’s in love with his best friend. He’s waiting around for his best friend to say it first while leaving a woman who loves him on the back burner because he wants his first option to come through. He’s leading Griselda along because she loves him and she’s a safe option. He’s running to get married because his friend won’t confess first as well reaching out on hold with the hopes of doing something while in a relationship and the metaphorical plate you’re talking about wasn’t what he ordered and wasn’t meant for him but long to somebody else but he’s just supposed to eat that food because it looks appetizing why would he steal somebody else’s food? Especially knowing that a person is starving for their food and they’re only offering to you out of desperation that you’ll say no
Although he himself knows he is super in love with his friend and finding out his friend is getting married hurts him. He would rather run away than deal with his feelings.
From day 1, he never intended to make his feelings known. He wanted to be a friend but he learned that to be a friend means to see him be with someone. So he would rather leave than see that.
I'm feeling frustrated and annoyed, cause literally the plate was served and offered to him. By his friend's need of his presence to feel better and the fiancee giving the ok to confess.
But of course he wouldn't eat it, this is not what he ordered. He did not ordered it, he didn't want it. Even though that's what he genuinely wanted, everyone knows he wanted that. But nope! he won't eat it.
Cause he is mentally aren't ready to take their relationship past friendship. That is a valid reason to not confess, and if that friend will continue to feel bothered by him running away. He better start to open his eyes and see that he is stuck in the closet. Cause his friend will not be waiting for him to come out.
