I need help on how to take this thing in right way.

There was a close friend, that I discussed about various things of my life.

I took interest in one girl and despite TRP, I fell into oneitis. During the time, I talked to my friend asking for advice and comments.

Generally, I was frustrated how things weren't going in my way with this girl. She showed interest first, and even suggested going into relationship with me. But I was hesitant because I didn't want to be locked in by a 29yr old girl. I am also 29.

I just found out about TRP so I didn't want to be locked in. After my reluctance for LTR, interaction with her became difficult. But I still pursued her because I thought I can get easy lay with HB8.

However, the girl would not hang out with me one-on-one. So this friend came in, thus I can hangout with her as a group.

After 2 months of me doing the Beta shit, she finally confronts me and rejects me.

Fine. Rejection sucks, but I was glad that it finally ended. I noticed how I failed to practice TRP and actually wasted 2 months pursuing this one girl. I am more sad that I wasted 2 months than being rejected.

Two weeks pass, I hear from my friend that he is in relationship with the girl I liked. He allegedly says he just happened to to like her last week. The feeling was reciprocated by her and now they are in a relationship.

This is betrayal. At instance I thought I wanted to punch his face. But I tried to logically think what has happened. SMV wise, my friend is higher than me. Hypergamy explains her jumping ship.

My friend must be desperate, as he went for LTR with her as soon as she showed interest.

I was not in a real relationship with her, so he must thought everything was fair game. Additionally, He didn't mind risking relationship with me.

After giving some thought about the situation, I am sad that I was not able to close her when she was this slutty.

I am more sad that this so called my friend betrayed me for a girl who is hitting the wall. I am sad that I blindly trusted my friend. I am sad that I got involved in this petty high school mess.

I am angry that this one girl for fucking up my relationship with this "friend". But at the same time, I thank her for showing my "friend's" true color.

I have cut ties with both of them.

It just sucks that this thing happened and I was not able to deal well. Part of me reading and accepting red pill was to grow as a true man. I wanted to know the Game and use the system. But I am still weak.
