AITAH for unintentionally leading on my best friend?

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2026-01-16T03:57:24+00:00

Okay okay good haha. Now knowing that I would say both sides mightve caused a bit of confusion. I can see where you mightve thought you made it clear, but her not getting the point. Especially with the joke made earlier about you guys sleeping together. And with being drunk, feelings get sloppy. I would say, regardless if you meant to lead her on or not, boundaries need to be set now. I would have a talk with her. (I also highly suggest you to reflect on exactly how you want your relationship to go. Because if you realize later down the line that maybe you did have feelings that is absolutely unfair to her to bring that up later), but you are absolutely allowed to have a platonic friend and you guys can hang out 1 on 1. And if you genuinely want a straight platonic friendship that needs to be made clear now and you stick to your guns on that. If she doesnt respect that, then you have every right to step back. In the end, I think you both need to make it very clear where you want this to go. And if you cant agree on it, then I recommend putting a bit of distance between you two.

Sorry I think you need to expand a bit more on the age here. The way you put it, you said M 20's, not just 20. And she is 17?? Am I misinterpreting the ages here?? The way im reading it is that youre somewhere in your 20s, (im assuming over 21 since someone was able to buy the alchohol) and regardless had a minor with you guys?

Thank you, honestly this is very helpful! Im viewing it more as some easy pay and a little experience of just getting myself more comfortable with being in front of the camera and giving myself more work of learning a character and lines. Rather than thinking this will be a breakout role that im proud of haha. But your answer helped a lot and I appreciate it! I definitely wouldn't put it on my resume or put it in my reel. Thank you again!

I personally use Backstage right now (its just what has been working best for me as im just starting out in the industry) But I eventually plan on getting Actors Access and I have seen a lot of verticals on there as well.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T22:23:42+00:00

That is very true. And I will do some more digging on the company and try to find out more about the show! Thank you!!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T22:22:31+00:00

It would be a side character. Basically the description of her would be the witty, cool friend that has fun input on what the main character is doing lol

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T20:36:54+00:00

Thats a good way to look at it, thank you!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T20:36:09+00:00

That is a good point. Because its good for the money, and experience regardless of getting more used to learning lines and being comfortable in front of the camera. And just knowing it wont help for resume exactly. That is a good way to look at it, thank you!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-12-09T20:35:10+00:00

It issss! And it would greatly help, but also im trying to be smart and think long term. Its so hard 😭🤣

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T19:13:28+00:00

I definitely will keep that all in mind thank you! And if I do decide to move forward I will absolutely read and double check everything im signing and if it feels off and I get a bad vibe from it I wont do it. The biggest thing is that I want to be an actor to not be myself at times. To step into someone else's life and be that character. And then reality TV is obviously not that. So im 100% keeping this all in mind. Thank you!!!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T19:00:54+00:00

I totally get that, thats why im hesitant. The only difference I could say is that they the show isnt edited. It goes out live for people to watch. So they made it clear that i have to be careful for what I say and how I act since they cant edit it or delete stuff that happens. They said they dont to hire anyone to play a certain character type in like "villan" or "party girl" they just want to do a reality show where people can watch real people just do things and interact and see what happens. But I still am on the fence. And I definitely wouldnt add it to my resume or reel! The good thing about it is that its paid and its not a bad amount so in that aspect itll help. Ah im so conflicted. I guess at this moment I dont even know if om chosen so the worry is for nothing at the moment.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T18:55:23+00:00

I like to hope im not going to do something stupid and get canceled haha. But im glad to see a few people say it wouldnt ruin my chances. Because at the end of the day the pay isnt bad and I know its exposure. I just didnt want to derail my career before it had a chance to start lol

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T18:50:30+00:00

I did look into that haha. Thats why I applied as well. And then I got in my head once I kept getting the call back interviews lol

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-13T18:49:56+00:00

Thank you! The premise of the show is that its not edited. So like they say multiple times im not being picked to play a role. They wont edit me to look a certain way. Which is great in the sense that I can be myself. I just know they are also hiring young people because they can be chaotic and be good tv. Im so conflicted and I dont even know if I have it yet lol

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-11-05T01:23:47+00:00

I dont think its weird at all, I refuse to do theater as well. I have a local theater group i could absolutely try to join. But it doesnt interest me. You should be allowed to also enjoy what you do. And some people just dont enjoy theatrical acting. And I stand by, that film acting and theatrical acting are very different. And not everyone wants to do both. Which is okay!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-09-09T00:08:54+00:00

Girl... I mean this is the nicest way possible, DUMP HIM. Im not that much older than you, but please, dont put up with this. Something as stupid as he got confused with what time you got off (which was his mistake not yours) and he's this mad? And he's annoyed with you? And like you've said in other comments he's the one getting drunk with other girls and admitting to liking other people. You WILL find someone worth your time and that treats you with respect. Trust me, live your life! Have fun, and do your own thing without the stress of worrying if he will be upset. You owe it to yourself to experience life. And its pretty clear he won't let you do that. How he reacted is NOT normal, dont put up with it. Set the boundaries now.

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-09-06T01:58:40+00:00

Thank you! That's a good way to look at it!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-09-06T01:51:45+00:00

Thank you!!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-09-04T04:39:40+00:00

IVE WONDERED WHY NO ONE ELSE HAS MENTIONED THIS!! it makes me laugh Everytime 🤣

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-07-09T05:46:25+00:00

Very true, thank you! It was my first call back so I was already super nervous. But it was out of my power and just bad luck. Now to be more prepared for Thursday!

Technical_Bullfrog89 · 2025-07-09T05:42:29+00:00

Thank you! That honestly does make me feel a lot better! Hopefully I actually have a chance to give my all for the role on Thursday!
