I've mentioned my one friend who is doing online and some of the freaks she's met (like the big baby, they met and he was weird). So he finally meets a great guy. I'll call him B. B is a really nice guy and I think she's lucky. However, she isn't attracted to him. She is attracted to another guy who I don't think is interested. I'll call him C. She met C a year ago at an event and he is related to her cousin (no, he isn't related to her). According to her C is really hot and has a decent job (I think he's a lawyer as she is). B also has a decent job but at best average.

Long story short she's been making comments to C she'd like to date him but he makes no moves on her. In the meantime B is VERY attentive, taking her on nice dates. She dates him but she tells me she feels nothing. I can tell B is really falling for her. She's bluntly told him if C her out she would do it but B doubts that will happen. I asked her what would she do if B asked her to marry him and she said she would just to make C jealous but I told her he's probably not interested.

How old are you people? This sounds so high school

Just sayin....

If she is really a user and you can't convince her how wrong this is, I'd personally let the friendship go.

This is really sad. And if B knew how immature and dishonest your friend is, he'd probably drop her.

In fairness to your friend, she bluntly told B if C asked her out she'd go for it. B at least is somewhat aware of her true feelings and sees C as competition but if B does decide to propose to her, I'd probably tell B a yes would not be genuine and sincere. You're in the catbird seat to spare a lot of potential pain and heartbreak.

She is 44 so you'd think she'd learn by now. I think she met him on eHarmony because like she told me it's full of desperate men. I don't talk to her as much now because she is getting weird (I honestly think she is bipolar).

not much of a dilemma imho, B just doesn't have enough social/emotional/relationship intelligence to disconnect and move on. lots of guys are unattractive lap dogs without know it. it's his fault for let her treat him like he is not worthy of her attention and affection. she 44, a lawyer, and a flake. there's better hunting out there for sure...

This is hella confusing, what the hell are you saying? B and C? I feel like i'm in algebra class. If B knew about C and how your friend is more interested in C, then it's B's fault for sticking around. B sounds really desperate but your friend sounds pretty stupid. She needs to move on from C as well.

Some people really are messed up.

I personally know someone similar in your friend's situation. They dropped $150,000 on a wedding and had the guy spend $100,000 on the diamond ring just to make an ex jealous. And, as I predicted, the ex was invited to the wedding and situated right where they were playing "cute wedding and travel photos" of the couple smiling all gleefully.

They divorced shortly 6 months after. You can love people, but the things they do?? All these unresolved childhood issues over shame? Carries on. The need to prove just doesn't stop!!

She's 44. And, why is B even still around knowing how poorly she treats him? They're all jacked up.

She is wacko and I feel for B because he deserves better. He deserves to have a woman who loves him for him. I predict he will deal with that where they get married and end up either divorced or unhappy. Then if they end up divorced he probably won't want to date someone again.
