She’s Humiliated That Her Best Friend Publicly Proposed To Her, As She Had No Idea He Thought They Were In A Relationship
Back when this 25-year-old woman started college two years ago, she met her 24-year-old best guy friend named Jordan.
She and Jordan became fast friends, especially since they live in the same dorm and are considered to be on the older side of college kids.
Although they don’t share the same major, they hang out constantly. They also joined some clubs and have gone out every single weekend.
Although she and Jordan do have other friends, they are still glued to the hip pretty much. Right now, they’re on spring break, and while they haven’t spent as much time together, they decided they would visit one another in their respective hometowns.
They thought this would be fun since they are from polar opposite places. Today, Jordan came to visit her in the big city she’s from.
Earlier this morning, she and Jordan went sightseeing, and they walked around some streets that are always full of various vendors.
She figured it would be exciting to have a caricature of herself done, as she has never had the opportunity to do this before and wanted to hang it in her dorm room.
She asked Jordan if he wanted to do it with her, but he said no. She then sat for a few minutes staring straight ahead at the artist, and when he completed it, she loved the drawing.
“So obviously, I turn to show it properly to Jordan,” she explained. “When I turn, though, I literally don’t even know what to say. He’s down on one knee, holding up a ring box.”

“I don’t even really know what he said, if he did the whole, like, proposal speech thing because I was so confused, I was barely paying attention. Remember again, this is a super busy tourist city, so this has drawn a mini crowd now, coming over to cheer us on. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.”
At first, she believed Jordan was playing a bizarre joke on her, even though they never tease one another.
She honestly couldn’t imagine why else Jordan was proposing to her. And then, she laughed out loud.
But when she saw the heartbroken look on Jordan’s face, she asked him if he was serious, and he quickly shut the ring box.
Jordan then got up, shrugged at her, said he wasn’t serious anymore and walked away. She was left standing awkward as could be in a crowd full of people, many of whom shot her nasty glances.
She and Jordan were supposed to meet back up at a hotel where they had gotten rooms next to each other. She headed off to the hotel, waited around for awhile, and Jordan never showed up.
At 1:15 in the afternoon, she was worried about Jordan and sent him a text wanting to see if he was alright.
Jordan sent back a lengthy message, and he essentially accused her of leading him on before asking why she never dumped him sooner.
He also said she humiliated him in public, and he thought she loves him the same way that he loves her.
He finished his message by insisting he felt their relationship was at a point where they could take the next step.
“Now, this is completely out of left field,” she said. “I literally have got no idea where in the world he’s got this idea from.”
“The closest we’ve ever physically been is a hug hello, and goodbye. I’ve never even jokingly flirted with him (for exactly this reason, I’ve had too many friendships collapse because they can’t tell the difference between serious, interesting, and joking banter in friendships, so I’ve been extra careful not to).”
“We’ve never kissed, never been on a date, never had [slept together]. I do not find him physically attractive, and I wouldn’t want to be in a relationship with him.”
She is so confused as to how Jordan thinks they’re in a relationship, as he has also never mentioned this to her.
He hasn’t shown up at their hotel since the message, and she has not replied to his long wall of text since she wouldn’t even know where to start. She’s left feeling shocked and has no clue what she should even do.
What advice do you have for her?
