So basically, I’ll cut a long story short. I’ve replaced real names.
You can skip to the end for the question. Apologies for grammatical errors.
I’m at a friends birthday party, his name is Harry. Hardy has a friend (also my friend) called Andy. Andy seems to like me a lot, that is confirmed when Harry tries to get me and him together. However, I do not like Andy in that way. Me being awkward just ran out of the room when Andy tries to tell me he likes me.
A day or so later I’m at the pub with Andy, Harry and a group of others. This guy called John pipes up and starts teasing Andy about me, in front of me. It makes me feel uncomfortable but I put up with it because everyone else found it funny and I didn’t want to be a party pooper. Then on the Friday there is a party at this guy’s house called Jim. Jim is a nice guy. Harry is trying to get me and Andy together again, I opt out and go to bed. Not having it.
A few pub trips and excessive teasing from John to Andy later, I’m t my friend Bob’s party. These parties are usually fun and eventful. Jim is there and manages to get me absolutely sozzled. I’m throwing up over the toilet (classic me) and Jim is taking care of me at least 65% of the time and we share some pretty deep stuff. He is attractive and I might say that after a sober conversation a few days later I kinda like him.
Then the following Monday after Bob’s party, Harry, Andy, John and Jim are together at the pub. They video call this group chat and Jim and Harry (mostly Jim) are still going at it strong trying to find out if I like Andy but in such a way that I couldn’t get a meaningful word in.
The question is: how do I get them to stop teasing Andy because even if he likes me, I don’t like him like that and it’s awkward for me because it means that I lose potential with this guy that I actually do kinda like (Jim)?
