mathematics

yesterday i found out that my friend heard from two sources that i have a new girlfriend. it's not true and i don't know if i should clarify. it sounds simple but it's really complicated being that me and my friend(let's call her venus) would have been a couple if it weren't for her fear of getting hurt.

she ended up hurting both of us. she put us through a lot of unneccesary bullshit because of her fears and insecurites. i stuck it out though. finally, about two weeks ago, it got to the point that i said enough. i told her that i'm tired of the games and that it would have to stop if we we're going to be friends still. i asked her to decide whether or not she wanted to continue being friends or not. she said she didn't want to give up and we should be continue being friends.

so we started fresh and things seemed good. until yesterday. i found out that she believes i have a girlfriend. she overheard a couple of the guys saying that me and (lets' call her)nadine are going out. she happens to know nadine. well, she's seen her and knows who she is. venus then asked mary(friend we have in common) if it was true and guess what? she told her that it is. mary told me that the news seemed to bother her. it bothered me that mary lied to her. mary says venus needed to realize that she's not the only girl in my life and realize what she's about to lose.

I somewhat agree with her but i'm not the type to play games. i don't want to hurt her or make her feel bad. i feel that if we're going to be friends, i have to be honest with her, but i honestly don't know if our friendship is going to work out.

what do you think? should i or should i not?

that's today's poll. thanks.
