Question Posted Thursday January 24 2019, 11:36 pm
My friend started dating a girl who he has likes for over a year. They started dating and broke up recently. He thinks there is a chance they can get back together, and doesn't know the real reason they broke up. While he thinks there is a chance to get back together, the girl says she lost interest in him. Should I tell him that the girl is not interested in him anymore?

In that case, it is just passing on gossip. The only thing that is not clear is how you came to know this. If it came straight from her to you, then it is not some one else possibly twisting the story or telling a lie. If you heard from some one else, don't say anything. This is what celebrities face every day, the media printing all sorts of untruths about them simply because some person other than the celeb themselves shared. So if she told you, then go ahead and tell him what she told you. If this is what she did, she probably knows he still has interest in her and is too chicken to tell him herself so she is putting the information out there by telling other people, hoping the message will leak back to him. As his friend, you are making sure he finds out sooner than later. If he doesn't believe you even if its the truth according to the girl, then the choice is his whether to waste his time still trying to pursue her or giving up. It does not reflect on you if he doesn't want to believe it. If all was going well and she suddenly broke up, he most definitely will be thinking it was some little thing that he needs to correct to be in her good graces again.
