Then when I tried to think of who, I thought of friend P. She was in a friend group with a guy, they dated other people, then were single, then he started dating another girl seriously. P realized her feelings, went to him and said "She's not right for you. Pick me instead." He did, and that's a 20+ year happy marriage with kids nearly on their own now.
The balls! The self confidence! The knowing! I'd aspire to be a pick-me girl, the type that gets picked, and isn't just hoping.
That is not a pick-me woman. Your uneducated first guess is incorrect. But your friend seems cool, glad that worked out for her.
