Love: Today, a girl I've liked for the longest time kept asking me...

By malcolmXXX - 14/10/2015 02:01 - United States - Savannah

Today, a girl I've liked for the longest time kept asking me to reveal my "deepest secret" in exchange for hers. Thinking this was flirting, I told her my secret was that I liked her. Her secret was that she was a "lesbian and just had to tell somebody." FML

Today, I was texting with my childhood crush late at night and we were exchanging secrets. I figured this was as good a time as any to tell her about my long-standing crush on her. Turns out she's a lesbian. FML

Today, the girl that I've been madly in love with was demanding I tell her who I liked. I told her no, I should just keep it a secret, but she demanded I tell her. After I told her, the only response I got was, "You're right. You should have kept that a secret." FML

Today, the girl I had a crush on for the past few months called me and wanted to tell me something. Excited, I agreed and we went out to dinner. She wanted to tell me she had been secretly seeing 'someone' for the past six months. FML

Today, I talked to a girl I like. I tried to make her jealous by telling her I had a "thing" going with another girl. She looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Wait, aren't you gay?" FML

Today, I told my girlfriend I wanted to tell her something important. Coincidentally, she did too. She wanted to tell me that she thinks she's actually gay. I wanted to tell her I love her. FML

Today, I found out the reason my crush has been talking so openly to me. Not because she likes me back, but because she thinks I'm gay. FML

Today, my best friend who I have been secretly in love with forever, was ranting about her ex-girlfriend. Then she said : "If only you were gay, we'd be perfect for each other." I took the chance to tell her I was. She responded : "Well, I'm still not attracted to you though." FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell the girl I like how I really feel about her, due in no small part to how flirty she's been towards me lately. Turns out she's really just a skank and was trying to make my best friend "jealous". He's gay. FML

Today, I was texting the girl I am in love with. I was dropping hints about liking someone who I didn't know if they liked me back. Flirting a little. And just when I thought she'd say she liked me too, she said "Don't worry, if you were straight, I would definitely date you!". FML

That sucks OP. But on the bright side you're the only person she trusts enough to tell her biggest secret. That's got to be worth something. You know she really cares about you if she shares something like that. At least at the end of the day she didn't have to give you the "awww you're just my friend!" speech because I'm sure that would've hurt your feelings more. She can't help how she feels, just be there for her.

Ah, the age old "barking up the wrong tree" story. Such a classic! Sorry OP!

for the sake of trying to lighten the mood maybe she can be your wing woman

whoa, whoa. be her friend because she needs one now. See if she has bisexual female friends, so she can be your wing woman...just saying.

Don't let people here tell you that she lied. it was probably hard for her to come out and she's going thru her own shit too. Sometimes women are lesbians and other times, they're not interested in you. Are you attracted to every woman you meet? Move on to the next and don't sweat it. Her not being interested in you, has nothing to do with you.

I think it's better she said that than being rejected if she was heterosexual,I feel for you!

I had the same situation with my best friend, but she doesn't know that I liked her...

OP here! To be honest, this happened a long time ago when I was in high school and found out a couple years later that she was in fact not a lesbian. She knew that I liked her and was afraid that if she told me the truth (that she just wanted to be friends) then I would be angry and hate her. Fortunately, we're friends now and it is kinda' funny. What really sucks though is that the alternative truly does happen a lot. Some people really do become jerks when their affection is not reciprocated and I understand why she lied. It still hurts a little, but now there's a new girl in my life who I am almost positive is not a lesbian! Haha! If there is any advice I could offer to those who find themselves in a similar position, it's this: be honest, and if the other turns mean and selfish, well that person isn't worth it and you're better off. Thank you all of those for the supportive comments!
