AITA for betting on my best friend's sexuality?
I, 17M, have a best friend who we'll call Tsu(16M). Ever since I met him, it's been kind of obvious to me that he's a little... 🫳, yknow? Just a bit fruity.
When I asked him, though, he made a really disgusted expression and proclaimed that he was only attracted to women, as homosexuality was "disgusting." That was really offputting.
Despite that, my sister(17F) and I made a bet. I bet that, at some point during the year, he'd admit he was into dudes. However, she countered with the bet that he'd stay in the closet the entire year.
Needless to say, I won. Last week, Tsu and another classmate of ours, who we'll call Mae(16M), admitted to the class that they were dating and had been for roughly a month and a half.
This is how Tsu found out about the bet. :(
I threw my hands into the air and cheered before demanding that my sister fork over the money, which really upset Tsu because we were betting on him + his sexuality. A few of my classmates agree that it's an asshole move, but I don't see the problem? It's harmless and, ultimately, very funny.
I don't know, OP. I'm not sure you're the asshole, but I can't quite say you're NTA either. If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't be too happy about my identity being the target of a bet, even if it did seem obvious to you and funny to you two. I can understand why Tsu would be upset about it.
I get that these kinds of games can be fun though, and I'm sure you two didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.
Since I imagine you two make a habit of this sort of thing, here's a little tip you didn't hear from me. If that 'Mae' guy gets involved in a bet or has an opinion one way or the other, you should pick what he picks. I have a feeling you might just win.
