A very close friend of mine posted that she's engaged with her on-and-off boyfriend after their second break-up. So in the spirit of gossip, I invited her to dinner and listened to this stunning news. We spent the whole evening talking about the whole engagement thing. I was really happy for her, astonished as well. But still really happy for her, no matter her parents are going to approve it or not. It's a big step for both of them.

But the second she walked out of my door, she told me it was a joke. She's never engaged to him. They just "pretended to be married" and in an open relationship. And asked me "Isn't it funny? You believed it."

I am supposed to feel funny and laugh because my friend can't marry the guy she loved (or like) so much? Huh?
