Unrequited love can possibly be one of the most excruciatingly painful things one can endure. In high school my best friend John was “in love” with Jaylene Martinez, a mutual friend of ours. I was his “wingman” so I followed his story fairly closely. When I look back at the situation from a social psychological standpoint as a “wingman” I could saved John a lot of heat break. The story starts like most cliches. Guy sees girl, falls hopelessly in love but girl has a boyfriend. John was in love with Jaylene for the better part of two year hoping for a chance. One day, God answered prayers and she and her boyfriend,Kevin, broke up as a consequence of her finding out John liked her. The analysis won't be about John but Jaylene’s behavior.
