discussion I f*** up, bragged about buying an apartment and now my co-worker will be a neighbour

[Hot Volcano]

So basically I just bought an apartment in this new building that has yet to be built. Couldn't wait to brag about it to my co-workers. This guy I bragged to, is quite a nice guy, I think he likes me, but what annoys me about him is the fact that he is BFF with my crush who is also a co-worker.  They are all the time together and I'm jealous. Whenever I'm with them I don't fit in, cuz they have certain topics of their own...and the worst thing is my crush is living in the building next to this building, so I already had this fantasy in my head of us getting closer since we are gonna be neighbours, him coming to my place to watch a movie, hang out and vice versa. But now with this guy being our neighbour aswell, its quite clear they are gonna hang out even more now   and I'm probably gonna be left out, my fantasy has gone to ****** because of my dumb ass wanting to brag.

Now I'm thinking how to sabotage this guy. How can I make him change his mind? I have bought my apartment already, but he has yet to have a meeting about it, didn't even find an apartment is thinking between two. What would you do??

[scenekiller]

I wouldn't do anything because I wouldn't brag to people for no reason to begin with, and I also let other adults live their lives

Well sis if he wants to buy the apartment there’s not a lot you can do…

 

And… if he likes you/wants to be friendly… I fail to see the problem. You might get a nice neighbour out of it.

Buying? In this economy?

[simplywohoo]

You are STILL not over him? 

[Khal]

This seems like an extremely important problem. 

 

I think you obtain a canister of gasoline, some matches, and head to this apartment complex. 

[Bosque]

This is really confusing. So the random co-worker you don't like is BFFs with your crush, but somehow you think it's your throwaway comment that led him to buy an apartment next to his BFF?

 

Sounds like you have an exaggerated sense of self importance

 

If your crush likes you, then something could happen regardless of a random 3rd person living in your proximity. No offense but the way you tell it is giving "drama of 18-19 year old men"

He's actually a really nice guy, and he will move in there with his girlfriend who he is planning on marrying soon. But I can totally picture him and my crush hanging out together all the time, and me being left out   I wanted to get closer to my crush, and thought this would be a great opportunity, already talked about it, he calls me neighbour as a joke already

So your crush is cuter than this person that likes you? If not, just give this neighbor that likes you a chance. I heard neighbors love is cute, I never experienced it before tho...

[Selegend]

just chill. dating life happens how it should, if u don't worry about it there's more chances that it will work it out. 

 

at least it's always like this for me, i only gets a good guy when i don't care if i will or not. when i'm just chilling and living my life with my friends. they always appears. 

if i want too much, i will 100% pick up the wrong one. 

 

if ur crush is for u, chill and it will happens.

Because you couldn’t keep your ******* mouth closed? Perhaps you need to go so their friendship can continue to thrive.

How do you have the time to get enough money to buy an appartment, think about all of this and be on this forum hating on Dua Lipa 24/7?

Why don’t you ask your crush out on a date? And just you know… go from there?

 

You can’t stop two people hanging out and pursuing a friendship… and there’s no point worrying about hypotheticals that might not even happen.

 

Jealousy eats people alive (believe me, I’ve been there)… best to stop worrying about the things you can’t control.

Sounds like you're the toxic one in this situation

He is not a "random" co-worker, we work together on lots of things and I like him 90% of the time, only the fact that he is BFFs with my crush annoys me  It was not a "thowaway comment", I told him every single detail and its quite a good offer, and I had no idea he was already searching for an apartment with his grilfriend.

Well yea, duh. 

But keep in mind these are my INNER thoughts, of course I would never show any signs of jeaousy, envy in real life. At least not on purpose 

 

Anyways, anyone knows any black magic ritual or something? Nothing that would hurt anyone physically or mentally of course. 

[Joyride]

your behaviour is deranged

[John Slayne]

You seriously need to consider changing your job and going to therapy. And I mean this in the best way possible but you've been having meltdowns over this guy for months and there's literally nothing between y'all. he's your coworker. for the sake of your mental health please leave him alone, get a new hobby, a new job, start dating, just do SOMETHING because this is only going to get worse. you are not coping at all.

[GentleEarthquake]

You go to therapy, right?

[LittleStarmen]

dox him here and let atrl take care of it. He will move out in a second
