Dating to Shut Someone Up
A guy (H) I knew kept teasing me and another guy friend (A) about getting together, even though we weren’t romantically interested. He would not stop joking about it and even told a bunch of our teachers that this guy and I were “dating”. It got to a point where I was so fed up with it, I actually asked A out. I thought H would have been pretty delighted by seeing that we finally got together but he was so mad we ruined his joke and that he cut us off. A and I dated for about two-ish years and we’re still friends tho.
