I don’t know if I should drop her bc she started to like him after I said I did!

Navigating the emotional rollercoaster when someone you care about suddenly shifts their affections can be really tough. In situations like this, especially when you’ve openly shared your feelings first, it’s natural to feel confused, hurt, or even betrayed. From personal experience, I found that taking a step back to reflect on the situation helped me gain clarity. It’s important to remember that feelings can be complicated and sometimes people act in ways that seem puzzling to us. The fact that she’s acting like nothing happened may be her way of coping or trying to keep the peace, even if it feels dismissive to you. Communicating openly about how you feel without blaming can sometimes open up a better understanding between both of you. Also, keep in mind the social dynamics described: age differences, not being allowed to date, and the involvement of friends like Raegan and Jared make this a layered situation. These factors can add pressure or confusion for everyone involved. I learned to focus on my own emotional well-being first, rather than trying to control what others feel or do. In the end, it comes down to whether this situation makes you feel respected and valued or unsettled and ignored. Sometimes it's not about 'dropping' someone immediately but understanding your boundaries and what you are comfortable accepting. Sharing your story or hearing others' experiences often helps too, because it shows you're not alone in feeling torn when romance and friendships mix in unexpected ways.
