Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML

Today, I was flirting with a guy and we ended up having a deep conversation through text. We were talking all our problems, and saying really sweet things to each other. I THOUGHT he was going to say something else really sweet and cute. He linked me to Suicide Hotline instead. FML

Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML

Today, I was talking to a colleague about love. He told me he's given up on love because things ended badly with a previous girl. I said, "Maybe it wasn't meant to be, and she wasn't the one." He then said the reason it didn't work out was because she killed herself. FML

Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML

I know he's your friend but it appears he really needs professional help. Assuming that you have never discussed being a couple, it now appears that not only is he suffering from depression but he has created a whole fantasy land within his head that you are somehow going out. And that is not a good sign.

Oh wow. That's kind of intense. I'm really sorry. I hope you found a tactful way to tell him that he was mistaken... good luck.

A) Your friend needs professional help B) You need to deal with this sooner rather than later C) I would recommend saying something like 'you really shouldn't say things like that. Im your friend because I want to be and neither of us wants to feel like it's not entirely optional'

yea, you gotta watch those emo guys. one time both me and my roommate rejected this one guy at different times. he retaliated by spread a rumor that my roommate and I are lesbians. we're both straight, I have a boyfriend and she has a fiancé.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry OP D: If it helps, I went through a similar thing before. The best way to handle it is to just Talk, Explain, and Encourage him. Talk to him, tell him that you felt you were close friends, explain to him the reasons why you'd like to keep it that way and that it isn't him, and if he tries to say he'll never be good enough for anyone, encourage him that hell yeah he will. It'll take some time, and you just gotta make sure you know what's up with him and know he knows what you mean by everything. Best of luck to the both of you! :)
