Search Results: girls not telling what they think

My friend got this girls number at a party. He was drunk at the time and got really nervous about calling the girl when he became sober. He was going to ghost her but I talked him out of it and helped him come up with what to say. I thought that was me having his back. So fast forward... are you ready for this lol...

Fast forward a YEAR later and he tells me his is thinking about calling that girl and asking her out. I tell him he has no chance and good luck with that. A year later lol. The opportunity is definitely gone. She probably forgot about it like 10 months ago.

So then he just says "alright" and a little later he makes up a story about how he needs a new phone. That story was his cover so that he could ghost me. He hasn't returned my texts in months.

I think that's really shitty of him. I think he is a coward and a piece of garbage really. I had his back and helped him so he didn't just ghost her. He wouldn't even have a shot at all if it wasn't for my advice. I mean was I out of line? I never want to talk to him again anyway but the fact that I am the one who had his back and he just didn't see it is ridiculous.

So should I have just lied to him and told him to go for it? At what point is being a good friend someone who is honest and at what point is it just lying and telling them what they obviously want to hear?
