a family member likes my friend

Facebook is so great. [insert sarcastic smile here] I just had cousin message me about a girl he liked. This cousin is one that I know, acknowledge, and can giggle with when we're around each other. So we're not really close. We don't share stories, tell secrets, in fact he blocked me one time!! I thought we were having a mature back and forth on the internets and he did not feel the same. In fact, the next time we saw each other, he kind of kept his distance the start of the event. I'm guessing at some point he felt comfortable enough to come and hang out with us. Then as we got into a rhythm of having fits of giggles and snickering, he told me that he'd blocked me because he was upset. I would've never guessed let alone known! Totally unrelated to the actual story, but this is my brain. My thought pattern took me back there.

Anyway, he likes one of my Facebook friends. Which I don't like and find odd. Why are you browsing my friends in your free time. It's weird. These are people I am either close to or have been close with and you're sliding in their DMs. They didn't ask for that. And then when they realize the complete stranger inboxing them didn't just happen across them, Facebook shows "oh look, this creep is mutual friends with so-in-so." Like, no. Please no. It's weird. And I know. He probably wasn't being a creep. He could've been totally respectful in whatever interactions took place. But coming from how persistent he was at hinting to me I should tell her to change her mind and give him a shot, I'm calling at least a temporary creep card. A creep visa, if you will.

It was just weird. I feel like if she told you no, no means no. I'm not going to convince her otherwise. Which was my first thought. My second thought was I can't be a bitch to him. Third thought: I'm just gonna ignore him. But then whenever I get on Facebook, he'll see me ignoring him. And I'm gonna be on Facebook. So instead of hiding out and just avoiding the situation, I delicately handled it in a way that said "hey...trust her judgement. let's gracefully let it go." So I'm happy about that. I didn't hurt his feelings and I didn't put her out there when she's already respectfully declined his advances. So handclaps lol. Handclaps all around. That's it. That's my little anecdote. I was pretty proud of myself. 

But if that scenario ever plays out in person, I'm pretty sure I'd immediately get diarehha. Either verbally or the intense butt kind.
