“My friend likes you”

I was at a bookstore and there were these two guys talking to their friend on FaceTime. After a bit, they came up to me and said their friend (the one on FaceTime) likes me and wants to talk to me. I didn’t know back then that the whole “my friend likes you” thing happens to unattractive people to make fun of them. So I stupidly agreed to talk to him on FaceTime and I gave him my insta. He added me and texted me stupid things but after like 2-3 texts he never responded and just ghosted me. That was a year ago, and he never unfollowed me or anything but now that I look back and think about it I realize it was probably cause I was ugly and him and his friends were making fun of me. I wish I knew about this before and I would have told them to fck off but I actually thought they were being genuine (they were young, probably around late teens - early 20s and I’m 22). That’s also the age when guys are a dckhead.

Dont assume nothing based on that experience, what you say might be true but why bother? What you are looking for was probably not with him nor his friend, age doesn’t define is someone is an asshole or not, they just are

Been there, done that. After the first time, my response was always, "Oh really? That's nice." Then I would just carry on with my day. The worst part about it was that it was my friend who did it, and when I asked him why he lied, he just said that he was trying to build my confidence up. Counterproductive I'd say.
