Back in high school there was a girl I liked, and she was the only one in high school who ever said yes to go out on a date. But I wasn't sure if I liked her as much as some of the other girls I was crushing on.
And she had a guy friend, a guy she hung out with a lot at school, and he seemed like a nice cool guy who would definitely make a better boyfriend for her than I. So I stopped pursuing her, so that she could be with the guy she was clearly meant to be with.
Years later I found out that he was gay. And in hindsight, it probably should not have been surprising that he was.
Moral of the story for Jess: don't assume you know who is the best match for a person, let them choose.
