I once had this close friend in secondary school, we were always doing almost everything together. Infact,we slept very close to each other and we even most times visit the dining hall and class together.
Now, there was this girl I had a kind of physical attraction for back then,she was just a spec and a full package and she had all the qualities and the things i wanted in a girl.
I was a pretty shy guy then and I could hardly even speak to girls , I just didnt have that courage to face them and have series of conversations with them. My friend on the other hand,was a bit of a social butterfly and a more courageous guy and can easily speak to them without been afraid.
So since I saw that I can't speak to a girl myself, I decided to put it up to him to help me toast her in order for both of us to start dating and be girlfriends and boyfriends because I saw us having that kind of relationship.
I placed my trust in him and relied on him without even knowing that he had other intentions in mind.
He should have told me he liked the girl as well but he didn't, instead he started using that opportunity to talk to her and he eventually asked her out. Within some days , I just realised they were already getting close and we're already dating.
I was heartbroken and I felt this sense of betrayal. I didn't even know how to look him in the eye because I could really go as far as hitting him on the face and it would lead to serious fight between us. Eventually, I confronted him and asked him why he decided to do me dirty and chose to betray me in such manner, but then he was just giving flimpsy excuses and was explaining to me that,it just happened and during that process the girl fell for him and he just couldn't control his feelings.
Anyways it was actually very hurtful most especially on those days where I will see them together getting cozy (hugging and even kissing) and I just couldn’t help myself but feel jealous but then with time I had to forget both about both of them and set my feelings aside and move on with my life.
It wasn't an easy thing to do, because I really liked the girl at that time, but then I had to move on with my life and accept it happened because i could summon enough courage and boldness to face her myself.
In the end, I learnt a serious lesson from there that has sticked with me up till this moment.
