Unintentional Matchmaking Mishap: AITA for Setting Up My Friend with My Crush?

A simple favor turned into an awkward little mess for one woman who thought she was helping two lonely people connect. Instead, her crush, Adam, and her longtime friend, Jessica, already knew each other, and the whole plan started to unravel fast.

After a breakup, OP tried to play matchmaker by introducing Adam to Jessica, hoping it would be a kind gesture for everyone involved. The problem is that Jessica and Adam had already crossed paths at a yoga class, and now OP is stuck with mixed feelings, embarrassment, and a friendship that suddenly feels a lot more complicated.

Now the question is whether this was just an innocent mistake or a much bigger social blunder. Read on.

I (28F) have been friends with Jessica (27F) for years. She's always been supportive, especially through my recent breakup.

My crush, Adam (30M), is someone I've liked for a while. One day, Adam mentioned feeling lonely, so I thought I'd help by introducing him to Jessica.

They hit it off instantly, and I felt happy for them. But then they both revealed they knew each other from a yoga class.

Jessica kept asking me about Adam, and I felt awkward. Now I'm torn between my feelings for Adam and guilt over setting them up without knowing they were already acquainted.

AITA?

That is where the awkwardness really starts.

Not everyone is going to let that slide.

This is similar to the AITA case where someone played cupid between their crush and a friend without consent.
