Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : I'm a freshman, and at the beginning of the year, I was a completely different person: shy, bo friends, could not talk to girls, overly jealous of people, etc. At this time, among other clubs/sports, i joined mock trial. Being a freshman, I was automatically sent to the jv team. At the end of every year, the JV team has tryouts to see if you're good enough to make varsity. Another girl on the jv team was this girl, let's call her Morgan, who's a junior. My first thought upon seeing her is that, hey, she's pretty cute. But being my shy self, I really kept my feelings to myself. Plus, shes's a junior and I'm a freshman.

But as the school year went on, I became more confident. This was due to playing sports, making new friends through these sports, and learned to talk to girls.

So by this point in the year, I was pretty confident. And last week, it just suddenly hit me: hey, I can talk to Morgan now! So what's the problem? Last week was literally the last meeting for mock trial. So that meant I'd have to wait till next year before flirting with her. But during the meeting, the president mentioned, we have tryouts for next year in three weeks- we try out now instead of, say, the beginning of next year, since mock trial is fresh in our mind. This sparked an idea in my mind: I had so many opportunities to talk to Morgan- which I didn't take, since I was shy- because we were on the same team: we confer twice a week during meetings, meet up every weekend, and such. And next year, I wanted those same opportunities so I can flirt with her. *But*, I only really have these opportunities if we're both on the same team. I know that 95% I was going to make varsity (people on varsity told me), but Morgan had a pretty bad showing and was most likely going to stay on jv. And that's bad: if I'm varsity and she's jv, no meetings, no meetups outside school, and far fewer opportunities in general. So, my idea was this: if I met up every weekend, I could coach her so she might do well in the tryouts and make it to varsity. I think it's an overall win-win situation: 1) we help each other- I help her practice for the tryouts, and she (although to a lesser extent) helps me 2) I help her get into varsity, which means more chances to flirt next year and 3) if I feel like it, I might even have chances to flirt with her during our meetups on the weekend.

Our first meeting went well, and I flirted with her a little. I mentioned this to my friend, but he seemed upset I wasn't helping her out of the goodness of my heart. I just replied, whether I'm doing it for a good reason or not (and I think good here is subjective), I'm still helping her. So since I'm really not hurting her, and am instead helping her, I'm in the right here. He didn't seem to agree. 

Is he right?
