Our protagonist (26M) is part of a large friend group, and after asking one of the ladies (26F) out, he found himself in a whirlwind of drama. After she declined, things got awkward, and he decided to take a break from the group.

Drama, Accusations, and a Divided Friend Group
After asking Caitlin out and being rejected, our protagonist found himself in an awkward situation. Caitlin’s strange behavior led him to take a break from the group, but when she accused him of ‘f***-zoning’ her, the drama escalated. The friend group became divided, with some siding with him and others with Caitlin. Last weekend, he refused to give her and Jamie a ride home after a night out, leading to even more tension. Now, the friend group is split, and it’s unclear how this drama will be resolved. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
