He Kicked A Girl Out Of His Friend Group After She Said Bad Things About Him To His Crush, And Now A Bunch Of His Friends Are Mad At Him
This twenty-six-year-old man has had a long-standing friend group for a really long time now.
And almost everyone has known each other since high school. But, one girl named Zoe joined the group during college.
So, over the years, the group has hung out numerous times. Still, though, he regards everyone’s relationship as being “casual” friends.
“We follow each other on social media and talk in the larger group but never hang out one-on-one,” he explained.
Nonetheless, he had a pretty big crush on Zoe– and some of the other women in the group even knew about it. But, they kept his secret to themselves for his sake.
And last month, he ended up being the one who spilled the beans.
It all began after he got pretty drunk and sent Zoe a late-night text about possibly meeting up and hanging out one-on-one.
Zoe sensed what he meant, though, and said she would like to hang out– but on more of a friend basis.
“I told her I understood. But, I knew what that meant, so I never reached back out,” he recalled.

And everything was fine after that until the friend group all went out to a bar together. More specifically, his parents’ bar that he bartends at.
Since he usually works there, his friend group is known as regulars at the bar. He would always send out a group text whenever there were specials going on and invite all the friends to come down– including Zoe.
But, after he did that same thing about a week ago, something was different– because right after Zoe walked in, she immediately started talking to him.
He was working, though, so it was hard to hold a conversation, and he kept moving along the bar.
Nonetheless, he did decide to charge her full price for the drinks the entire night, which was out of character. In the past, he would sometimes hook up his friends with cheaper drinks, but it did not happen all the time.
So, after Zoe realized this, she began complaining to his other friends about the bill– which seriously ticked him off.
Plus, he apparently invited another girl he was interested in to visit the bar that night, which opened up a whole other can of worms.
Once he began talking to that girl, Zoe apparently walked up and decided to introduce herself “completely out of the blue.”
Then, Zoe and the girl began talking alone at the bar, and it slipped out that he and Zoe “used” to be good friends until he asked her out.
The girl that he invited was not very happy after learning that, though, and he actually had to spend the entire next hour explaining his way out of it.
And because he was so pissed off at Zoe about it, he decided not to text Zoe the next time he invited the whole group out.
“She is more than welcome to meet us out later. But I didn’t want to deal with her at my bar,” he said.
Still, Zoe’s friends in the group thought that move was utterly unfair. And they even showed up at his bar this past weekend to confront him about it.
The friends claimed it was rude to isolate Zoe, especially since their whole friend group hangs out at his bar. So, he was essentially “banning” her from the entire group.
Nonetheless, he did not really care. He said that the group was free to pick a different bar to frequent where they could invite anyone they wanted. But, he did not want Zoe to be “weird” and “causing issues” at his bar.
His guy friends apparently completely understand his perspective and have sided with him. The girls, though, are still totally against the ban.
So now, he is not sure if basically kicking Zoe out of the friend group was a really jerky thing to do.
Do you think what he did was right? What would you do if you were Zoe?
