I'm not a troll, I understand sometimes my posts are dramatic. I want to get that out of the way. So I'm going to give you a story as straight to the point and honest as I can. My friend is really into this girl. I've never met this girl. He talks about her all the time. All the time. I drive rideshare-Lyft part time at night time. And apparently this girl uses it all the time according to him. So he's wondering if I've ever picked him up.
He keeps on calling me while I have passengers about to get in the car. He keeps on asking me if I have seen her, which is really odd because there's millions of people in our area. He also posts these things on Facebook to try to impress her. He kept on asking me what I thought of the posts. And he told me to let him know right away if I see anything on the internet about her. I thought he said internet. Honestly. But now I think he meant if I find her outside getting a ride.
And so I go to her Facebook just to see if I find any information. I am just doing it because I thought that's what he wanted. I was busy at the time and so I was thinking about many things. And so I go to her page and I see a random pic of an animal and like it. I guess her page is public so it allows you to like.
The next day he calls me up and he thinks that I disrespected him and might be trying to get with her. He said either way, the most awkward thing you can do is to like someone's post that you don't know. He says that it might be best that we aren't friends anymore since I disrespected him.
The truth is I want nothing to do with the girl. I don't know her. I've never met her. I don't care about her. But he talks about her non stop. And now he's saying that I'm totally stabbing him in the back because I liked an animal post that she made. I did go back and unlike it. But he says that you never are supposed to like someone's page that you don't know....
So now we're not on good terms. I honestly wan't even thinking at the time and just hit the like and left her page. But because of this, he says the friendship might be over.
Some of you think it's very strange that I went to her profile. It's because he kept on asking me what I thought about his posts and what she would think... Then as I had to go, he told me to find out anything about her. Because we were talking bout FB, I thought that's what he wanted me to do, go look at her page and see if I find anything fishy or something, I don't know??? I wasn't even thinking about it.. So I didn't mean anything by hitting that like.
And now he's saying it's making him look bad because he's gonna have to explain why I did what I did. I didn't write anything, I didn't message her, I didn't friend request her, I simply hit like on an animal post. I have no idea why I hit like. It was a cute llama. I'm used to hitting like when I see something on instagram, that's all. I swear to god I wasn't trying to disrespect him. But now he's trying to make all these connections and is making all these accusations.

You're at least old enough to drive for Lyft, but this is some straight-up junior high drama.
Cool it on the friendship with the guy. Let him have his little temper tantrum. When he moves on to the next girl (because there's no way this is going to last) he'll come back around. And if he doesn't, then he wasn't really a good friend to begin with.
He's put waaaayyyy too much thought into all this Facebook liking and so on.
I agree that you should cool it with this friend. He wants to stalk this girl, and he wants you to help him. Don't get drawn into his drama. If he's mad at you at this point, let him be mad. And if he wants to be friends again, I'd demand an apology from him or tell him to forget it.

You don't need to go to her page to see his posts to her - they will either show up in your newsfeed, or you can go to his page.

I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, but it's still weird - think how she must feel, having some random guy "liking" her post. If you've never met, she doesn't know who you are, and you're liking her post. Maybe she'll see you're friends with her boyfriend, and then it's less weird, maybe not. In any case, it may be weird, but it's not disrespectful or backstabbing in anyway and his accusations are totally uncalled for. (By the way, I think you can see her posts because she's a friend of a friend, not because they are public).
Your friend sounds really insecure, and the weirdness of you liking her post is probably far outweighed by the weirdness of how obsessed he is with her (and Facebook), and yet hasn't even introduced her to his friend. You say you need advice but there's really not much you can do. How much do you really value his friendship anyway? It doesn't sound like he's a very good friend.

I think this is a bit more "nuanced". This guy isn't her boyfriend - he's a guy who is an acquaintance of hers who's hopelessly in love with her and is stalking her all over the net and is encouraging this uber driver to also stalk her and report back what he learns.
So, when he "liked" a photo, and she went to the profile to figure out who he is, the only mutual friend they would have is this stalker acquaintance, so he would be "outed" as maybe talking about and making the uber driver curious enough to check out her media.
Buy his "liking" her animal pic, it's as if he just drove by her house with the stalker in the car, and inadvertently honked the horn.
He's gone coo-koo for this girl and he's not thinking straight BUT you need to just end this friendship because obviously he's not respecting your friendship after all this time and he's letting it go to crap over some girl he likes.You don't treat a friend this way.Period.I understand what you were trying to do BUT this guy is only seeing red with you.Thinking that you were doing something shady...like he said..trying to get with her behind his back.
You need to just not be friends with this person any longer.You have now seen his crazy side and it's time to bail.

Oh my goodness, dump him. Who needs this drama. You didn't do anything wrong. The guy has issues.
