“Anon, I’m simply swamped–could you run to the library and fetch me the latest Precious Stones Quarterly? Oh, and do tell Spike I say hello. I really must remember to spend time with him when I’ve finished with these orders.”

@Background Pony #1503  
I was more talking about how within the context of this “series” I would never do something like this, especially if I knew. Comes off as being an asshole.

@Itsthinking
 
Aren’t you forgetting about someone? Someone rather important in all of this?  
Namely Rarity herself
 
In the end it’s her decision and it doesn’t really matter that much if Spike or the other guy does more favours for her or spends more time with her; she may not end up with either of them.
 
It just strikes me as odd that both men and women talk about people being “off limits” or “stepping back” from them because they know one of their friends is romantically interested in them when, in the end, their agreements have little to do with it.
 
Plus the love interest in question probably won’t be very happy whenthey ultimately find out that you’ve essentially turned them into a prize

@SpearWing  
You’ve got that in reverse.

@SpearWing  

You are NOT deserve Her, Spike.

Anon is a dick!

Um, Spike. I’m a Mare. And it’s very obvious that I’m a mare….I think you and Twilight need to have a little talk now

@Sjogre  
It took me a while to realize that Spike wasn’t crushing on anon.

…I’m not the only person that was expecting Spike to be getting rejected, am I?

Yeah, she would be “off limits” for me, personally. Hell, I’d probably do the exact opposite as Anon here.

@HamburgerTime  
Anon is in a relationship/interested in Rarity, and Spike finds out. That’s why he feels betrayed, because he considered Anon his friend.

 
. . . .
 
Thaw fuck is this?

Nah Spike, you’re competition.
