A friend of mine told me the story about her sister, Riley. Now, Riley is not one of those popular girls but she sure has beauty and brains in her class, well, most guys adore her and is hoping to be their girlfriend. Riley knows that most guys in her room are way too out of her league. Until one day, one of her classmates, Echo, told her that he's been desperately in love with her, good thing she was too skeptical about this sudden revelation and did not accept him to become her boyfriend. One friend of Riley told her that Echo just "lost a bet", of asking her out. She was furious to think that guys think that she is some sort of trophy that a man needs. I shared this story it's because some people would 'bet' on someone to have a date with, it could be for fun or somewhat offensive. What's your take on this?

I think that they should have been together if it weren't for a bet. I have not experienced becoming a prize to be won for just a silly bet, I might get offended as well because they should at least be honest if they do like me or they're just in it for the bet.

I think it's normal to have a bet, like, we do it just for fun. Like my friend one time, he says that he'll bet on us that he'll ask a girl out during those trips at the bar and by the end of the night he failed to hook up with any of those chicks at the bar. He lost the bet that costs him 10 dollars that night lol!

It's that even still a thing? I think those bets are not really good, if we're talking about asking out a person that is looking forward to a serious relationship. Because those bets are just for fun, like, if it's a hookup thing to do and nothing serious.

Echo is such a jerk for accepting the bet and for playing with Riley's feelings. If something like that happened to me, I'll probably be furious and I will probably say hurtful words towards the people who are involved in the bet.

I never thought that something like that can happen in real life. I only read situations like that in fictional books. Anyway, the guy deserved to lose the bet that shouldn't have existed in the first place. The guy is so full of himself that he thought he can get the girl in an instant. I'm happy that the girl didn't fall for his trap.

I agree. It seems impossible to happen but now that someone already experienced it, I guess everything is really possible to happen. Anyway, the people involved in the bet deserve to be slapped in the face for the thing that they did. The girl does not deserve to be played on. What if the girl likes the guy and she finds out that it was all just for a bet? That would be devastating, right?

Was Echo so handsome that he had the guts to take that bet? I hope I do not encounter something like that. Because if I do, it will be long before I move on from that.

Ah, Echo shouldn't be playing along with his friends for some sick bet if he really likes Riley. Too bad, he lost the bet, he even lost the girl too lol!

Why would it take long for you to move on from something like that BabyBabu? I think those bet things shouldn't be taken seriously, so you don't have to put yourself down if guys put you on a bet for fun. Just don't fall for it easily if you sense that something's off, some bet is already happening like that.

What if there was no bet? What if the guy just told that there there was one so that people won't look down on him because he got rejected? I do think that the guy actually likes the girl and when he got rejected, he just made up a story about having a bet. Guys need to do everything to boost their ego and confidence, right?

Well, it happened to me. Good thing that I knew that they were on bet. So, I made a decision and accepted the man. The other party, who assumed that they would win, lost to their dismay.
Anyway, when you sense that they are doing some bets, then make crazy decisions that would make their jaws drop wide open.

How much are we talking about here? How much did Echo lose? Well, it was bad that he lost. If he won, he could have won more than just the money. Remember that Riley is beautiful.
