I'm the sort of friend that I suggested the OP seek. I don't want to be all up in my friends' personal affairs and I really have no interest in debating someone else's relationship or my own. I'm more the type to say my piece -- long or short -- and be done. They can do with it what they want after that. In the meantime, I'd just as soon we go grab a drink, play a game of chess or cards, and talk about something else.

The simple fact is that one can tell one's friends what one thinks, but they are going to do what they want to anyway. Once you've said your bit, what else is there to say? They know what you think on the matter, what happens next in the relationship is theirs to determine.

It would be intriguing to hear just where the OP ended up with the girl though. I suspect that the short of it is that things worked out about as others have concluded.

So true...
