Should I [16M] say yes to one of my closest friends [18NB] asking me to help them prom-pose?
I’ll call the friend “S” and the person they’re promposing to “N" [18M]
S texted me in the middle of the night asking me if I would help them with a promposal to N (they’re both seniors and I’m a sophomore, but I’m also going to prom).
The thing is, for the last year and a half, I’ve liked N, and S knows that. The thing is that last year me and N had a thing, but they told me it wouldn’t work out, blah blah blah, continued leading me on, whatever. I’m still friends with both of them, but S still knows that I still have a thing for N... what should I do?
I don't think I can change the outcome of them going together, and S has "assured" me it's only platonic (the grapevine has told me otherwise...). They're very affectionate with N and spend a lot of time with him, so I get jealous (back during fall semester we had a discussion about that). I don't want to lose my friendship with either of them.
When S asked me (over text) I ended up crying and hyperventilating. I talked to a couple of friends about the decision but got mixed reactions. One of my best friends told me to say no and just go out for dinner with them (best friend). Some of my close friends told me to not interact with S anymore and to not help, while some of my other close friends told me it would be "good for me" to help S with N. It's like I'm cucking myself!!!
I feel like I should do it because of FOMO, and I kinda want to prove to N that I'm over him... even though I'm obviously not. But I also know if I go, it'll hurt horribly. I seriously don't know what to do, as S is prom-posing tomorrow after school (prom is in 4 days).
What do I do?
