<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

So this finally came to a conclusion today, but the asking out actually happened just over a week ago. 

Me and my best female friend were lying in her bed watching the new game of thrones. We were cuddling because it was cold and i started to sort of try to escalate things (thought fuck it why not). She stopped me and asked me what i was doing and i though screw it and told her maybe we should start seeing each other. Which ended up with a tentative yes and see how things go, as she still had some feelings for another guy which she wanted to get over, and was ok with trying this. 

Over the course of the previous month my best friend of 7 years had been convincing me to do this. He had hooked up with her previously but swore he didnt care anymore and that we were perfect for each other etc. 

After the news reached him on what was occuring between us, he decided to suddenly proclaim his feelings for her and how much he wanted to be with her. As it turned out the guy she had feelings for was him. And thus began the worst weekend of her continually going back and forth between me and him, changing up who she wanted to see and generally being an emotional wreck.

After much decision making she decided to start seeing me. And his reaction was to throw a tantrum and make her feel ridiculously bad. The only way i can describe what happened is a baby not playing with a ball and the crying when someone else picks it up. 

As a result of this, i lost him as a best friend, and due to the nature of the emotions of the girl i was going to see after my now ex best friend cracked it, she decided not to be with either of us, but were still friends fortunately.
<bot>: asked out female friend. Tentative yes. Best friend throws a tantrum. Am still single minus a best friend.
