Remember as a kid how you could just ask your friend to ask your crush's friend if they liked you? Why can't dating still be that easy?

Well for this guy, he found a way to cushion any potential rejection blows.

Twitter user, @GHINA, posted screenshots of a very peculiar three-way group chat. The first message is from a guy professing his true feelings for Ghina, which makes it very confusing as to why there is a third member of the chat.

Turns out, the young hopeless romantic added his friend for moral support.

Honestly, the friend seems like a really cool guy. He is a total hype-man for his bud.

But unfortunately, the girl wasn't into the dude, or his belief in the bonds of friendship.

After Ghina's tweet started getting some attention, others felt inspired by this supportive friendship.

Being the third wheel doesn't have to suck. On the other hand, privacy is pretty nice too.
