hello everyone... i have a friend that has a complicated love triangle and i wanted to know what advice(s) u would give. heres the situation...
(not using their real names, trying to keep it confidential)
my friend mary likes this guy bob whose a good friend of hers. mary and bob hang together in the same friend group. bob doesnt know mary likes him and mary doesnt know what she should do
bob's close friend, mike can tell that mary likes bob and tells her that bob likes a girl lisa. but mary doesnt really believe mike because why is he telling her this. mike says that im telling you because i dont want you to get hurt. should mary believe mike? or is bob and mike up to something?
mike also said that bob is not making the move because hes afraid he'll get rejected by lisa. on the other hand, lisa doesnt know bob likes her.
mary asks lisa if she likes anyone and she says no. lisa said that she will say yes if someone asked her out.
basically lisa and bob are not going anywhere and mary is just "stuck".
now mary's friends suspect that she likes bob and thinks bob knows that she likes him. but bob is not doing anything about it.

... complicated, yet hard to explain

well i dont think mike is making up, i mean why else would he bring it up? but then again, he could of told bob since hes his close friend knowing that bob doesnt like mary, so there can be two ways of puttin the story together...i think for now mary should just tell bob that she like him to get things off her chest or else she will be ''''stuck''''' there forever...

why should bob make the move when he likes someone else? i dont think mike is lying because afterall, bob is his friend. and why would he bother to make up something like that? tell lisa that bob likes her.. then they'll get somewhere. they have a chance here, while mary.. isnt getting anywhere.

um.. i have a question. is lisa crazy? why would she go out with anyone who askes her out?

That's interesting..well if "bob" really does like "lisa" then "mary" should just forget "bob" possible that "mike" might like "mary" too...complicated,yes. haha

maybe it's mike who likes mary and bob doesnt like anyone..or it's mike that hates mary..or bob who likes mary but is scared of rejection and lisa is just someone to say...a friend? err...now im confused..
just tell "mary" to ask bob out..

the easiest way to solve this "complicated love triangle" is for mary to just ask bob straight up if he likes her. because if she waits for someone that likes someone else, that is just a waste of time for her.

^ i agree with her. She should just ask Bob if he likes her or not.

i agree with both of you...but if "mary" is too shy, then she should just get over him

ehh you guys should all take, get into a room, and spill, its less complicating taht way..

yeah i would just get mary to see if bob actually likes her or not...otherwise, i'm not too sure...

very complicated.. O.o.. i had to read it twice to get it.. kakaka.. newaysss.. umm.. mary should ask bob to tell her the truth, in mah opinion dont trust mikee.. and er... yeaa.. i think tahts all i gotta say.. lols goood luckkk

confusing...just like i am...let it work itself out and wait to hear it from "bob" who he really likes
