His best-friend…is pissing me off

I will honestly say, that his boyfriend is pissing me off. Like I can truthfully say he is annoying and a user. Like who uses their best friend to get close to someone they like just to make a move.

    Lol what do you mean by user? Isn't it normal for your best friend set you up with your crush? And he isn't even that serious about it....

    Don’t you find it odd that every single time they meet, it’s about a guy we all know he can’t have. It’s even more upsetting that the friend that’s doing it, isn’t even being fully honest with him either. It’s like a game of tag and no one’s winning.

    Tbh I don’t really get that impression. When they meet, they seem like super close friends, brothers almost. For plot’s sake, their convos usually seem to mention hyun, but the way the author set it up tells me that it’s not a serious crush

    The friend is boycrazy which matches his age, they probably talk a lot about his crush. That is not weird. Look at this way, if the guy you liked was in the same class as a close friend of yours, would you ask him to introduce him to you or at least create scenarios where you guys can interact?

    These are high school boys you're talking about, it is not that serious.

    Maybe it is cultural shock... but it is very common approach in South Asian country. So, very cliché move from him.

    Understandable it’s just a read and I’m just pointing out my opinion. I named my feelings on it about friends using each other to get a person to like them. I don’t really care much for whether it’s serious or not. It’s like a show for me, I will talk about my feelings on it.

    It could be and I respected it. I just feel if you can’t confess yourself and make the moves yourself. You shouldn’t be dating yet. That’s my general view in the book. Not the book itself though. It’s a good read but the best friend really does piss me off a bit. Like, I would rather the person that has a crush on me to come up and tell me themselves. Like why am I hearing that from someone else?

    That’s literally the basis of the conversation. He’s always talking about a boy, which makes me question that their friendship is a bit one sided.

    I can see that. But normally, I just go up to them because I’m a bit of an extrovert. So I never relied on my friend and I was a bit mature in emotions and feelings on how I handled them in high school. So, any person I liked heard it from me. I was always the one make sure the person I liked knew it was personally me. I didn’t do the messager thing. But I can see you point!

    I too personally don't like this approach. Chances are you might get cuckooed.

    Exactly! And that’s the issue and just look at the friend that was put in that position to get close. Now he is catching feelings smh.

    While I happy that you have always been that way. The ml's friends is an introvert and I don't think is fair that you get to call him annoying and an user because he is shy and in his little 15 year old mind it made sense to have his friend introduce them.

    Your point would have made sense if....
    1) Your bestie was already friend with your crush;
    2) Your bestie did not outright tell you he disliked your crush;
    3) Your bestie was not annoyed/displeased by the whole situation.
    The thing is that he forced his bestie to befriend his crush so he could introduce him... When did he consider his bestie's feelings/best interests in the process?

    Again while it would have been nice for him to be considered, please remember they are teenagers. Most teenagers are not mature enough to understand what they are doing is wrong. All I ask for you to give them grace and be kind to them. Because every teenager has done something stupid in their life at one point or another. And I promise you, you’re not the exception.

    You think he is shy and introverted? That is by far not the impression he is giving. He pretty outgoing in my eyes. And trust me, it’s just my opinion and what I observed. And are you telling me, someone that comes up to you, and literally makes all your encounters and conversations about a boy and what you should do for him to just jump in like a natural encounter almost all the time, won’t be annoying to you? Your either a saint or you have really amazing friends.

    I can tell you, that no here thinks they are exception. But is it wrong to call bullshit and let a teenager know when he is being selfish and inconsiderate? No. How do you expect them to learn? Especially, when his best friend is put in a rather uncomfortable position. I understand their teenagers but that’s still not an excuse. You think just because a kid is a kid, and a kid hit somebody, we should give them grace because that kid is just a kid? No. We teach them that’s wrong and is best to use their words to express emotions. We hold them accountable not enable them. Just saying.
