A few months ago, my friend, his gf, and another friend of ours posted a picture with this girl in it next to our mutual friend. I got excited because I figured he got a gf but I found out from my friend that this is actually his gf's cousin.
She is very cute and I am very interested so I asked him about her. He told me she's single but he doesn't think I should go out with her. Said she's high maintenance and we wouldn't get along. I left it there and the next time I saw him I asked him for details. He told me she just likes things her way and has particular things she wants in a guy and he doesn't think it'd be a good idea. I dropped it after this.
However, I met her last night and she's even cuter in person and seems like an absolute sweetheart. We didn't get to spend much time together (which is an entire different story in it of itself). But from the little time I spent with her, I'd def be interested in getting to know her more/going on a date.
She came with my friend and his gf to the event we were at and they arrived very late and left super early so unfortunately, I didn't get to hang with her as much as I would've liked. I had no idea they were leaving until they did so :/
Today he texted me asking about how the rest of the event was and I told him and mentioned the cousin. Told him she's really cute and seemed super cool. I said you said she's bad news you said right? He told me nah she's really cool actually, I just think you two wouldn't get along. I pressed for more details and he kept being extremely vague and wouldn't tell me why he doesn't want me to date her.
He told me she's not the kind of girl you'd typically go after and I asked if she had the dealbreakers I watch out for and he said no. He then said she might not be interested and I said oh ok if you asked her and she's not that's ok. And he said no I didn't ask but if she were you would've spent more time with her yesterday. I told him I barely got to spend time with him yesterday because they popped in for such a brief period of time. He then said plus she's a Dr. so she wouldn't even have enough free time to go on dates with you.
I asked what's going on, it just seems like you don't want me to date her and he dodged the question. We got into an entire different argument over what went down last night (I basically got ditched by him so he could go to a club).
So, I'm kind of at a loss here? I don't know why he's completely shutting this down and quite frankly, everyone I have talked to about this said he's wrong for not letting the cousin and I decide for ourselves if we're compatible. We have the same ethnic background too and overall we seemed to vibe well from the little I interacted with her (I had her laughing and she was bantering with me).
TLDR: Friend keeps making up excuses as to why me dating his gf's cousin won't work out and refuses to set us up.
