Since Marie and the guy are scheduled for Sunday, I'd totally back off and away from him for now.

There needs to be some sense of boundaries here.

You did what you did, hoping that Marie and him could date. Sure, she may not have found him attractive at first but that could change. Lets hope for the best!

(I find when there are too many 3rd party opinions involved things get so convoluted. It's really now up to the two to determine what they want so they can have their own privacy in doing so- from a purely ethical stand point).

See, the problem is, the OP does not want Marie to date him; she is using Marie as a mule to find out if he's attracted to anyone other than just aggressive, confident girls, because the OP is not enough of a mature adult to ask him out herself.

Hmm..maybe I'm a bit naive here. Plausible.

I sure hope Marie doesn't end up hurt in the end. (She sounds like she could like him too and is just hiding it).

kat949 this comment is what makes convextech's theory real. Calling something a social experiment then not taking responsibility for the after effects? She obviously digs him and is just too scared to tell him. If he finds out (and he will from Marie, trust!) he won't trust the OP or see her as a potential mate. Bad decision to play games.
