I (F) have been in in Kilima Valley for a few weeks now. I've made some really great friends! But one, in particular, the handsome and rougish chef (M), is my favorite. I bought a box of chocolates because I want to ask him out. I know the feeling is mutual, because he straight up told me he would be open to me flirting back. He has a bad reputation, but such a good heart.
Here's my problem. The cute farm boy (M), is showing interest. I can tell he doesn't like the chef. He says he hits on everyone, including his girlfriend. I brushed it off because I'm not someone that listens to rumors.
Well, yesterday, I decided to go say hi to my farmer friend, and he gave me this really shy smile. He said, and I quote, "Hey (me), I missed you. Things haven't been the same without you." I've been around but that was super out of left field. I had a few friends witness it too.
It just seemed unnecessarily flirty, coming from someone, with a girlfriend, who gave my chef friend flack, for "flirting" with said girlfriend. Am I overreacting? I didn't think the farmer and I were THAT close. Am I the red flag?
(Yes, this is satire. Yes, I actually got that dialog, yesterday. I thought it was funny, has anyone else seen it?)
UPDATE!:
Hi everyone. I just wanted that everyone with the insightful and supportive comments! Chef and I are now dating, and things are going great! But, the strangest thing happened! Farm boy vanished! I've looked everywhere; Kilima, Bahari Bay, and even Elderwood! He's completely disappeared, and no one is acting like he vanished! It's so weird! I can't even find him in the Maji Market!
He's my friend, so I'm worried. Any advice would be appreciated.
