Me too
I don't see the spin, duh who wants to be 2nd choice. I am speaking of if you know we are friends and you have seen us together etc... It will be like you wanted the friend more and now trying to settle for what you can get. This is common in people is general.
Not just that, but seeming like you are like this:
It's unappealing to us.
If I you didn't know like by chance that's another thing. That has actually happened to me in the end my friend and I laughed about it.

I dont think you are responding to the OP's question...
You're putting yourself in the place of the 2nd choice.
OP is asking why do you care if you are the first choice, you say no, and then he goes to talk to your friend.
And the only reason this should bother anyone is their ego
