To Intervene

Caught in a conundrum where I shouldn’t be sticking my nose into.

Turns out one of my newly found friends is beginning to date another guy I’ve become slight acquaintances with. He offhandedly mentioned having a girlfriend to me. A couple of weeks later, I see him heavily pursuing my friend. They even went so far as to spend Valentines together (allegedly).

Is it my place to let someone know about my observation? On one hand, he might have very well just broken up with his “previous” girlfriend. I don’t know the full story. Then again if it’s all a farse, morality dictates that I should let my friend know what I had heard. Tis the only respectable thing to do.

I’ve been thinking to myself about this for the past few days. I think the best course in this case is to fly under the radar. Being nosey typically doesn’t end in promising consequences. Secondly, if I’m thinking about my own wellbeing, saying nothing still leaves me on good terms with both my friend and this acquaintance – who might I add has not treated me ill in the slightest. Not something I’d wanna jeopardize.
