#209 - most women don't think of men as animals to be kept on a "tight leash". The expectation is that people respect the relationship you are in, not that you have to guard your boyfriend against douchebags like the OP. Ugh your whole post reeks of trailer trash who thinks she's really hot but really has horrible acne and lopsided teeth.

Aww, I'd really like to say FYL because I sympathize with how hard it must be to hold in your feelings like that for two years, but... YDI still. Why? Because if you're honest with yourself, you'll know that NO answer could have made you happy. If he had said, "Umm... okay. Thanks for telling me" you have been unhappy. If he had said, "Oh, I don't feel the same way," you would have been unhappy," because really, the only thing that would have made you happy would be "Really? Wow, I've liked you too all this time!" And that just wasn't going to happen. I don't think he meant to be a jerk; he just didn't know how to react. What can you really say in that situation? Also, if he's taken, you should be more respectful of his feelings and the other girl's feelings but not putting him in such an awkward situation.

Ok well, I say you deserved this, because you were confessing while he has a girlfriend. That just gives the girlfriend a reason not to like you

you were obviously lying when you said you didnt expect anything because you wouldnt have been suprised or hurt

FYL for having a crush on a guy for so long and not having the balls to tell him...but seriously, what did you expect him to say? HE HAS A GIRLFRIEND. The conversation was probably awkward and he wanted to get away from it.

omg the same kind of thing happened to me it's so hard to go thru with that! Just don't let him destroy your life. try to ignore him the best you can and things will end up ok! Also those mean, cruel twisted ppl *cough cough #243 cough cough and 241 AND 245 and 244 and 240 and so on* they jsut dont know how it feels like it sounds stupid but just for their information it hurts even if u dont expect them to say "oh my golly gee i luv you too" I mean if they r that stupid as to think that u deserved that they should burn in hell for eternity...and normally im not a very religeous person. if anything they r the ones who r insensitive and stupid i mean ya it would suck to be his gf if he did dump her for u but i think he should have at least said something a litle more sensitive! but just a word of advice tell the guy u like that u like him the day after he breaks up with his girlfriend, just dont think of it as taking advantage of him, think of it as seeing the upside in a bad situation!

#239 - I'm not the one who leashes the men. I'm the homewrecker. I am hot, too :) Unfortunately, I have perfect teeth but had to have four years of braces in elementary school. FML, right? Also...I think that song "Don't Ya" was actually written about me. Go figure.

haha sounds like the guy i have a crush on. he's an asshole. but he's pretty much amazing.

Sweetheart, I'm in the same situation...in love with my best friend, actually, but he has a gf. I'm not planning on saying anything while they're together, and honestly I'm happy as long as he's happy, but if they do break up, I'll be there until he gets over it, and then tell him. I want him to know, but I don't want to be a rebound or "the girl who stole him" either. Good luck though...that sucks.

aha , #248. he's an asshole. but he's pretty much amazing. i'd have to say that the OP wasn't really expecting anything. she was just upset because the dude was heartless and said "are you done? cause i need to use the bathroom," which seems like he didn't give a shit about her whatsoever. Or, as we all know, when you gotta go, you gottttta go.
