I feel so low. He posted on his Instagram story of him watching a movie with this girl tagged. He went out with her a few times before, but they hadn't been hanging out for the past couple of weeks, so I thought things just didn't pan out between them. I don't want to be that person that is getting all butt-hurt over their crush, or thinks that I'm entitled to them. I don't care where he goes, or who he hangs out with, but who likes to see that their crush is possibly on a date with someone else? I've known this guy for over a year, and he's known her for maybe three months, so it just stings.

It hurts because just two months ago, I was pretty confident he was into me. He'd flirt with me, and say I'm pretty. I kind of tried to make the first move last year by inviting him to my birthday party, but he declined and started acting weird, so I was too afraid to initiate anything else, even when he started flirting again. This girl is his little sister's friend, so it just hurts that by some maneuvering by the sister and this girl, now they're dating. And I know it's not the sister's fault. I get how thrilling it can be to play "matchmaker", but it just hurts. I'd never tell my crush that I like him, especially under these circumstances. Because best case scenario, he pursues me and drops her. Even if he's good with me, his sister might resent me. She might even resent her brother for picking me over her friend. I'm just really depressed about this.
