So a friend of mine had a situation from a year ago til now that made me think about something (I’ll call her B). Sorry for the wall of text coming!
B had an on-again off-again hook up with this guy for about 4 months until he got himself a girlfriend. She didn’t really care all that much about it and continued moving on w/ her life talking to other people. In August of last year he ends up contacting B back asking if she wanted to hook up one last time before she went off to Europe for like 3 months. Apparently he ended things with his girlfriend. B was apprehensive at first, but eventually agreed. Well, that quickly went to **** after she found out he wasn’t actually over his ex, even though he ended things first due to personal problems. The girl didn’t want him back after being dumped. B was pissed that she was being used as a distraction, but continued to be in contact w/ him as only friends. She refused to have sex with him again. So over the next couple of months they get really close, he talks about his problems to B and she tries to help him while not trying to get too involved. Well as time went by, B starts to have feelings for him and wants to be more than friends.
B is actually the one that introduced me to LOA and RS, and is a lot more skilled in it than I️ am, so it wasn’t really a problem for her to get this guy to contact her, ask her how she’s been, etc. Last summer however, when B was confident that her visualizations were getting to him and that he was starting to feel the same way, one night he ends up texting B about how much he hates himself, how he doesn’t deserve love because the one he loves doesn’t want him back, and how he won’t ever find happiness without this girl. B was beyond confused and even a little frustrated. She accepted that the situation with the other girl was out of her control, and (in her mind) wished him all the best.
SO, last week, B ends up getting a phone call from her guy, and it’s like his mind was completely changed. He missed B, missed their conversations, missed her laugh and smile, and wanted to try dating again. So she agreed!
In conclusion, is it the other person that needs to align with our desire sometimes? My friend has a lot of confidence, many friends, a great paying job, and practices self-love, so she really didn’t have a lot of resistance in trying to manifest a relationship with this guy. Him on the other hand - lost his job, suffered w/ depression, heartbroken, etc.
I’m sorry if that sounded confusing, tried to explain it as simple as possible but also attempted to be thorough 😬
Is something like this possible?

It's always about you, never about the other person.
There is something I can't fully believe about the picture you are painting. She is happy and confident, he is depressed. Why would she even want him? When I am happy with my life, I feel repelled by depressed people.
It's hard to give advice to people on the forum, because I don't know how they feel. But it's even harder to give advice about a friend. You don't have the whole picture. You don't know how she feels, what she did and so on and you tell it in your own way, including your own perception in it. I guess that half of the story got lost on the way. It's better not to analyze other people's lifes, because you can never have the whole picture. Better watch and analyze your own experiences. And it's much easier for me to believe that she had resistance in that situation than that she hadn't. So the story isn't too surprising.
