torn between friends...


Question Posted Tuesday August 24 2004, 3:37 pm

All right, so, I'm 14/f, and this is basically about my guy friend, Jarrod. He really likes one of my best friends, Cora. He has liked her a really long time, and I was the first person he told after almost a year of liking her. He knows he can trust me not to tell anyone because I am an excellent secret-keeper, and so far I have told no one.
Although I did tell him that he should just tell her. Because I had to do that with this guy I liked, and everything turned out fine. But Jarrod and I both know that Cora doesn't really like him that way, although she really cherishes their friendship, I can tell. I told him that if he didn't do it by the end of this school year, I would tell her. (It's also sort of hard to keep this kind of thing from a best friend of yours for this long, even if Jarrod is a good friend too.)
And now, almost completely out of the blue, Jarrod told me that he's not sure why he told me in the first place, that there are other people he should have told before me, and that he doesn't want me privy to his love life anymore, and that I can't, under ANY circumstances, tell Cora. He also said that there is a personal reason that he doesn't want to tell Cora, and that he could not and WOULD not tell me.
What do I do? Why has Jarrod all of a sudden turned on me? Should I tell Cora and risk Jarrod's trust? HELP!!

Sorry about the long question...

no it's okay about the long question... i've gotten longer. anyway, i think you should just still keep it to yourself that jarrod likes cora. you should still talk to him and tell him that you really feel he should tell her because he never knows... maybe her mind has changed in the last couple of months that she in fact really does like him. if you did end up telling cora you most likely would lose jarrod as your friend and no one likes to have someone against them. i can tell that cora is a close friend of yours and you don't like to keep things from her but if it means losing jarrod as your friend then i don't think you should. however really, talk to jarrod about how your feeling and tell him you really think he should tell cora how he feels about her. the worst thing that could happen is that she will say she doesn't like him back. if things don't work out between them they still have their friendship which is ALWAYS a wonderful thing to have. hope i helped!
