It’s always funny to me when men complain about this bc they think the girl they like is interested, enough of a pick me to be chill with him insulting her friend, and don’t realize that if she ACTUALLY liked him she would’ve told her friend to go away 😭
Also ngl I’m trying to figure out where they’re all getting this imaginative story from bc I’ve been out so much and I’ve still yet to see this exact scenario play out
