AITA for (accidentally?) ruining a guy’s relationship and now lowkey catching feelings for him?
hey so idk if i’m even in the right place here but this whole thing is driving me crazy and i just need some opinions from people who don’t actually know me lol. so i (age doesn’t matter) go to school with this guy from my grade—let’s call him potato vodka (obviously not his real name lmao). we’re not really friends, more like kinda know each other? but i’ve always thought he was cool. he’s super chill, really cute and actually nice to talk to, even tho we never really hung out just the two of us. he’s usually quiet but sometimes he’s really funny too. anyway, he was dating this girl—let’s call her cake. and one day cake came to me and was like „can u maybe casually find out how things are going between me and him?“ bc she felt weird abt their relationship or smth. i was super overwhelmed but i said yes bc idk i panicked. so i asked him and he told me stuff wasn’t going great. we talked a little bit more but it wasn’t even that deep. then i had no idea how to tell cake. i was scared to just say it straight up so instead (and honestly this was dumb af) i showed her some old ass screenshots of him that didn’t even really have anything to do with the situation. but somehow she got it anyway and i freaked out and told potato vodka that she had asked me. and yeah… they ended up talking and like not long after that they broke up. both of them told me it wasn’t my fault and that things were already kinda falling apart but honestly i still feel like the biggest asshole ever. i swear i didn’t mean to mess anything up i just didn’t know what the hell i was doing. and then we all went on this school trip and i realized i actually like… have a crush on him. and i don’t even want to feel like this but i do and now i feel even worse. guilty about the breakup, guilty about having feelings and just lost in general. to make it even worse one of my „friends“ (not sure if i should even call him that anymore) told potato vodka that i liked him—without asking me. and he even asked him if he could imagine something happening with me. i NEVER wanted it to come out like that. i literally could’ve died when i heard he knew. now i’m just scared we’ll stop talking completely and i ruined everything. and the worst part is: potato vodka actually said he could maybe see something happening with me someday. but the breakup is still super fresh and i’m scared this is all happening way too fast or it’s just straight up wrong. am i the asshole??
(Btw I hope I’m in the right subreddit right now because I don’t have a plan!!)
