I tentatively stick my head back into SL and, suddenly, I find myself embroiled in other people's drama. Well, here's the story. (The names have been changed to protect the... ummm,... ummm,....)
You see, W and P have this quasi-romantic friendship, which is apparently not exclusive.
W met S at Opal's rez day party and they hit it off. Opal warned W that she's playing with fire, but W continued to flirt with S. And the fact that S showed up at odd moments created tension between W and P. So now there's some kind of competition between S and P.
Through all this, W was inexplicably trying to do matchmaking between S and Opal. Opal reiterated that she's in love with M, who's with someone else. And Opal is being a hermit to get over that. Opal once said that she thought S is cute but she decided a long time ago not to flirt with him, because he's one of M's close friends and Opal is not going to hurt M that way. And now that W likes S, Opal has one more reason not to mess with S.
When S asked W to help with an animation for a swing, W suggested that S talk to Opal who is more normal-sized. Since then, S has been talking about Opal in his conversations with W, essentially trying to make her jealous. W understandably got upset with S for pitting us against each other, which I agree is a stupid thing to do.
Now, W is dumping S onto Opal's lap because W claims that S likes Opal more than her. And Opal had no idea what the hell was going on or why she got pulled into this drama in the first place. And W is upset with Opal because she thinks that Opal is taking S's side, when, in fact, Opal is just trying to figure out what's going on without bias.
With a little bit of reflection, Opal came to this assessment of the situation: W likes S and S likes W, but P is still W's primary. To get W's attention, S pitted W and Opal against each other. Now, that is backfiring, and Opal is caught in the line of fire.
Did you get all that? Yeah, it took me a while to figure it out too.
/me crawls back into her foxhole.
It sounds like you really need to talk this over with S. S did not want to hurt anyone. His intentions were only for good. Sure he is not the brightest person in the world from the sounds of it and makes mistakes. I'm pretty sure he did not want to pit any one against another or cause harm to others. His emotions got in the way and he could not get it thru his head that the person he was with could not offer him what he wanted but could not have. Hopefully P, W, and Opal can forgive S for being the dumbass he was. Emotions can get in the way of judgment and reasoning. But now that S was pulled from his shell he can never go back, he was left out in the open, cold and naked.
