Advice
Hey guys,
I was hoping that you all out there would be able to give me some advice about a personal situation.
My friend is really mad at me because she says I encroach on her men. She got *pissed* last night because I spent time talking to her blind date at the Mystery Date Party. I know I shouldn't have sat there flirting with him, but in all honsety, she was 45 min late to the party, and we had hit it off before she got there. When she came in I introduced them, went to talk to another friend, and sit back down next to my date. Her date sits next to me, and we talk/ flirt till my other friend tells me to back off cuz the one friend is pissed. I do, and talk to my date (who wa a nice guy, but not my type) the rest of the night.
Ok, so after this little party, I have to go work at the gym (which is open really late here). The two girls come to my shift and tell me that I was really rude, and I can't do things like flirt with other people's dates, even if they are flirting with me. I know it wasn't a kosher move, but I really didn't know my friend was so upset. I told her that, and apologized. She was still pissed and said that this was not the first time this has happened. This was news to me! I told her I was sorry if I did anything unintetional, but at this point I was crying so getting things across was hard. The end of the conversation was her going off on me, and me trying to defend mysef, and then getting angry and storming off.
What should I do????
I really really didn't know I was doing anything to piss her off, and I admit I shoudn't have flirted with her date last night. But she thinks I don't care about her friendship now (which I belive to be bullshit, she knows I care about her, and is just using that as a line). Even worse, she thinks I am awful and tactlesss. I really feel bad about it, and I want her to know that I don't mean to hurt her at all, or get into her men, I just had no idea she liked these guys or cared. I really liek her, and want to stay friends with her.
anyway, what do you think I should do? I wrote her an email apologizing, and I plan to go talk to her later today when I feel better about things, but what should I say???? Do you think I have a chance to repair this?
ll,
M
