So there's this guy...

<p>Alright, here's the deal:</p>

<p>I'm a freshman at a small college. I have some friends who are upperclassmen, and I often hang out with them.</p>

<p>Well, for the Superbowl, Jake had a party in his room, and his old roommate, Eli was there. He (Eli) was flirting with me and stuff which I was totally okay with because he's super cute, liberal, a friend of my friend's so he must be a good guy etc. That was that, and we've only seen each other once since.</p>

<p>Well tonight, Jake told me that he had told Eli that I was younger than I am so that Eli wouldn't flirt with me anymore, but that he would tell him the truth if I wanted him to.</p>

<p>...I kinda do, but I don't want things to be awkward. I mean, I'm not sure if Jake is actually okay with it because he did lie to Eli originally, and I'm not sure if Eli wants anything more than just to flirt or have a casual relationship or anything, but I do like him (from what I know of him) and can sort of see us together.</p>

<p>What should I do?</p>

<p>Haha.</p>

<p>No. I’m actually not. I don’t want to start any drama. Jake is one of my good friends and I don’t want to upset him with anything.</p>

<p>Don’t put Jake in a pressure situation. Keep things the way Jake said.</p>

5

<p>ok here’s what you do. </p>

<p>Watch more soap operas</p>

6

<p>Which way?</p>

<p>Jake lied, but then he told me that he would tell Eli the truth…</p>

<p>You should definitely maintain the ridiculous, high-handed lie that your friend Jake told to Eli, and on the plus side it will make Eli feel like a pervert. It’s win/win, for no one.</p>

<p>No, seriously, I don’t think you should do that at all. If you want to date this guy, it might be kind of tough to start it out by continuing an absurd lie. I’m sure that your friend Jake didn’t do it to be mean and I doubt it’ll be a big deal.</p>

<p>It’s going to be fine. I’m sure Eli loves Twilight, too.</p>

<p>Well, I didn’t lie to Eli at all…so he can’t be mad at me for that.</p>

<p>And Manhattan - Eli is straight thanks.</p>

<p>Does this eli have a job to support you? and a car?</p>

11

<p>Support her ***? They’d be dating, not getting married.</p>

<p>Tell your friend Jake to tell this Eli feller the truth. That was kinda low of him to make an outright lie about you.</p>

12

<p>that’s weird…are you sure Jake doesn’t like you? Otherwise why would he have the motive to disuade his friend from flirting with you? If you ever talk to Eli again, just casually mention in regular conversation that Jake said that you were younger than you actually are as a joke (and laugh it off). Otherwise if you really think it will be a barrier to hanging out with Eli, tell your friend Jake to tell his friend the truth.</p>

13

<p>Tell him you feeling like jailbait just makes it even hotter.</p>

14

<p>I’m sure that Jake doesn’t like me. He’s gay.</p>

15

<p>Gay for Eli…?</p>

16

<p>He could like Eli…but Eli is straight so it doesn’t matter. Plus, Jake has his eye on some other guy.</p>

<p>Case solved. Well done, Reaver.</p>
