A Trap My Friend Dug (2) (Following the last entry http://www.italki.com/entry/487374) I was raged. I wasn't expecting anything between the guy and me in the first place--I was just saying that I met someone cool, but Ann tried to push everything into a wrong direction without my knowledge. Besides, she did all this in a "low" way in my eye--if I'm interested in someone, I would not just walk up and say, "Hi, you are sexy. Can I have your photo and phone number?" And I would never embarrass someone by telling him I am actully interested in another guy instead of him. But Ann did all this on my behalf and without my permission! It was just gross! I could not understand why a long-time friend would do something unthoughtful like that. She felt she didn't deserve the blaim for all she was thinking was me when she did all this. I am grateful for her kindness, but enthusiasm for a friend's affairs should not be so blind as to ignore his/her own will and privacy. She's made me into one of those teenage girls playing all sorts of silly tricks to draw a boy's attention, including asking a friend to deliver a "message of love" and ask for a photo to put under the pillow. Ann and I had some real rows, but things seem not to have sorted out till now.
