My friend likes me and I like him but he won't date me because he says he thinks it was me.

My friend prank texted him as a random person on Instagram before me and him were close to try to see if he was in interested in someone else or if he would flirt with her. So she asked for his insta I gave it her and she talked to him by making a fake account and flirting. He did flirt with her but not much and unfortunately it was worse because he started treating her like a best friend and started asking her for general advice almost every day. She kept having to text him. Then me and him got in a fight and he told her he was going to break off our friendship so I told her and she tried to talk him out of it but then he thought it was me that whole time..and now he says he likes me so much but because he thinks that was me and not my friend I claim he can't date me and it makes him upset.

I don't know what to do

    I can’t make head or tail of this- did you tell your friend to prank him? If not were you aware she was pranking him at the time? If the answer to either of those is “yes” then you share part of the blame for that cruel act and I understand why he wouldn’t want to date you.

    You also owe him an apology and should ask yourself why you thought that was an appropriate way to treat a friend.

      No I said I talked about him and she did something like this before with someone else so she did it for me without asking by seeing if he was interested in me or anyone else and I was hesitant and said no but then when she did it I did say wait ask him this and this but then I told her to stop it was the same day and she kept going for a while

        As you have now learned the hard way (thrilling as it can be) catfishing people never ends well. If he’s unable to trust you because of this you will just have to respect that.

        We all make mistakes, make sure you learn from this one.

      Lol she was the one who said she'd do it without me saying anything because she did it before with someone else to find out something but she kept talking to him I told her she didn't need to

        ... and that's why I said she doesn't sound very trustworthy. She sounds like a person who is bored, and just trying to get into some shit.

    What were ya'll fighting about?

    No offense, but I'd be rather inclined to not trust your gifriend there. Why the hell was she "pranking" him in the first place? I also don't blame him for not trusting you.

      Not really a prank. It started off as her making a fake account to find out if he liked me or if he was interested in any other girls because I wasn't sure and I was too afraid to mention my feelings to him. He didn't have feelings for anyone and he said he was only into one night stands with no strings attached because he got out of a bad relationship before that. She also flirted with him to see if he would take the bait he did but barely and once she found everything and told me I told her okay that's enough but she kept talking to him because he was asking her questions. She was a business major actually and she didn't even lie about that on her fake account and he is a business major too so he asked her about that and then about what he should do about this and this and they got to be friends but

      We had an argument because he said he didn't want to talk to me as much as we were talking and I said we only talk 10 mins a day and he said every day is way too much for his depression he needs more alone time so I took that as an insult and said why talk to me at all then and we fought. Then she told him to talk to me again and he suspected it was me so now he is my friend still in fact we're so close now we talk more and he told me he really wishes he could date me but can't because he thinks that was me and it makes him upset because he really wants to be with me but he can't stop thinking about the fake Instagram texts from "me" and I don't know what to do because I really want to be with him

        I think you should apologize somehow.
