Is this really how the Singles Ward works?

Let's discuss singles ward drama.

Boy A: Charlie
Boy B: Adam
Girl C: Jane
Girl D: Victoria
(Please note these are fake names to protect the identity of the real messed up people)

I feel like I'm watching Dawson's Creek. Why? Glad you asked!

Charlie and Adam are best friends, actually family and even roommates. They are close, tell each other everything, you know BFF but in guy version.

Well (Oh So Sweet) Adam likes Jane which very pretty, simple and kind overall a good match for Adam. So Adam like any other single man in a singles ward decides to start trying to work his magic on Jane! Doesn't get too far, when he realizes Jane has a serious boyfriend, yes Jane had a boyfriend.
Jane breaks up with boyfriend........ (Single again, good thing for Adam)

One problem...!


Let's meet Charlie and Victoria
Charlie, very attractive Charlie was dating the real thing; beautiful, happy, easy-going Victoria. It was a going thing, where both of them seemed pretty perfect for each other.
BUT
They dated and HE decided it wasn't going to work because of very stupid reasons. (What is wrong with single ward men?)
Victoria is sad, pretty upset sad, (but she will get over it) and decides to talk to her friend Jane about it. Yes, Jane, remember Jane the one Adam likes very much.
They talk about Victoria and Charlie and then talk about Adam. Girlie Talk, trust talk, true friend talk!

(4 weeks pass, something like that, probably shorter)

Let's go back to the problem, Adam and Jane.
Sunday comes and Jane and Charlie are now setting next to each other all loving cuddling couple! Adam sits at the end of bench with the sadness sickness face. Yes people, Charlie goes for Jane although his BFF, roommate and family member was in love with Jane!

ReCAP:
Adam doesn't get girl
Girl goes with other boy
Victoria loses Boyfriend and good friend
Now I am waiting for Victoria and Adam to be the next big thing!

Dose anyone else see the problem in this story. I might be new to this whole singles ward thing and the whole dating in a singles ward but I can't watch this sick square/triangle mess.

Is it wrong, or is this what I should expect in a singles wards?

Yeah, that sucks. However, I've noticed that dating in a Singles ward environment is a anything goes sort of thing, so it's best not to get too upset over anything. It's the whole eternity thing, you can't be mad if Charlie and Jane actually get married and are great for each other, but if they don't Victoria can say "I told you so" to Jane and tease her about it for the rest of her life.

I would say its to be expected, everyone's fair game. BUT friends should never ever do that to one another, because thats not what real friends do. Sad!
