Recently I went on a 5-day trip with a female friend of mine. Things went nice and all... then one of those days I overheard her talking on the phone with a guy friend of her (who she probably likes). When speaking about the trip with me, she laughed and said "No! He knows there's no chance for that at all".

To tell the truth, she was right. I knew I had no chances with her from long before that trip. And I hadn't gone there with her with those intentions. But still... knowing I am so easily discarded by girls, really shocked me! She said that as if she considered the idea plain absurd. Like I was the last troll of Mordor, or something. I was really offended. It made me really want to go and ask her why.

Any thoughts or similar experiences?

But she didn't tell you that, bluntly or otherwise. You OVERHEARD her conversation, big difference.

I understand her wanting to reassure this guy on the other end of the phone, but that could have been handled better on her part. It makes her sound kind of full of herself. Unless you were giving off some unintentional vibes that she was picking up on and really wanted to drive the point home. Even then, she could have handled that more discreetly and considered your feelings.

Fair enough. The thread title has been edited

Good point. Did you have your ear up against the wall when you overheard this, or did she blurt it out right in front of you while speaking to him?

Or else she KNOWS you well enough that you guys are on the same page about turning your friendship into a physical encounter. (usually a bad idea) I'm sure it wasn't a slam to you at all, just an honest statement to a busybody inquiry.

I'm sure you aren't anywhere near a troll but just someone she values having as a friend. So, if you also know the physical wasn't in the realm when you went on the trip, why let your ego get bruised? Great to have an opposite sex friend to do things with where SEX is not always the underlying intent. (yes it does happen)

No, she was just speaking quite loudly, I was at the stairs and heard her talking. She didn't notice me, I'm sure about that. Which makes her comment all the more honest.

And wanted to add, I'm SURE you are most certainly not some hideous troll from Mordor or elsewhere

As hard as this concept is to accept, sometimes the chemistry is just not there, plain and simple.

Someone not choosing you does not have to be about YOU at all, and usually isn't

If you already knew this, why are you so offended that she said it to someone else? She basically said the same thing you already knew.

I think it's a bit dramatic to say you are easily discarded by girls and may/may not resemble the Troll of Mordor. Ease up dude. Things are platonic and she was expressing such. She may not have been aware you were within earshot.

Maybe not so honest, maybe she wants to juggle a couple of guys at once.
