Mom to Mom

I thought it would be interesting to get everyone's point of view on this. The girls are in their early 20's, part of DD's group of friends, and I love them dearly and have known them all a long time.

Annie and Barb are best friends and have been forever. They do everything together. They went to a party with the whole group and met a group of guys there - one of the other girl's bf brought his friends. Annie met Chris and spent the whole night talking to him. Before the girls left, Chris asked Annie to dinner. She said yes, but they didn't make specific arrangements; he said he'd call her. This was on a Saturday night. She excitedly told Barb, who seemed excited for her. Chris texted Annie Monday and said he was glad he met her and he couldn't wait to see her again. MEANWHILE - Barb told Chris' friend (the other girl's bf) that she wished Chris had spent the night talking to HER instead, because she really liked him. The bf told Chris what she said. The same day he texted Annie, he also texted Barb and told her he was crazy about her and he was glad she was attracted to him. Tuesday night they went out. Barb never told Annie, but OF COURSE word got back to her. They have since been "out" two or three other times, and Barb is putting pictures of the two of them all over Facebook. Annie is hurt. She says (as three of us were discussing this) that she could get over the fact he was more attracted to Barb if Barb had just CALLED her and told her what was going on instead of hiding things from her. Barb doesn't think she did anything wrong, and that he just likes her better. The girls aren't speaking, and the group of friends is divided over this.

I told them MY opinion, and here's what I said: CHRIS is a JERK!!

So what do you think???
