So I've got a male friend who is desperately in love with another one of my friends (a female), and has been for years. He knows, she knows, we all know. They've even tried it on a couple of times, but she always has reasons to not be with him. Mostly those reasons are she is fucking other guys, and she simply doesn't feel *that* way about him. But she strings him along anyway, I guess because she thinks he is a good fall back guy. The thing is, he is better than that. Way better. He should never be anyone's fall back guy. He is smart, talented, intelligent, funny, charming, respectful etc etc .... all those things a good man should be. But he just can't seem to get over her.

At first it was totally cute. Then it was a little bit sad. Then it was pathetic. Now it's just straight up annoying. I'm sick of hearing about how in love he is with her, and I'm sick of her making him believe there is some hope for them when there very clearly isn't.

She keeps telling him she is confused, that she needs time, space, whatever. But she isn't. She only tells him that to keep him around, to keep him hanging on. The rest of us know, because she has told us, that she doesn't see any future for the them.

I should actually probably not even be her friend, because what she's doing is all kinds of horrible but that wouldn't change their situation. He would still keep pining away for her.

I don't know, I know/hope that he will eventually get it and be open to finding love or like or lust elsewhere, or that she gets her shit together and tells him the truth, I'm just sick of being in the middle of it and I want him to be happy. He's not happy like this.

In other news, I finished my exam early, it was easy and in 2 hours I'm off to see Josh for m0ar tattoos. It's freezing and raining and I have a cold. Hurray!
