I'm planning to set my Best Friend up on a fake first date
Why a fake date? Is this a prank?
Well, I'm fine with my Best Friend, but he is a great guy and there are too many fish in the sea.
It is wrong to lie to your friends. You could hurt his feelings if everything goes wrong.
I'm planning to see it from a distance, but I can't guarantee that nothing will go wrong.
You should try not to lie to your friends so they stay your friends.
