Today, I finally got the courage to tell my best friend that I've had a crush on him since our junior year. Since I couldn't see him I shot him a text. His response: "Yeah I know. I've tried kind of ignoring it." FML

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my best friend who I'm crushing hard on that I like her. She gave me a look of revulsion and asked if I was joking. FML

Today, I finally had the guts to tell my best friend that I like him more than just as a friend. I was about to tell him when he excitedly told me that he met the love of his life yesterday. FML

Today, I've had a crush on my friend for a long time, and everyone around us had convinced me that he had feelings too, so I finally confessed. I got sister/friend-zoned. I'm trying not to cry myself to sleep. FML

Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML

Today, I woke up feeling ecstatic, because last night, my crush had told my best friend he likes me a lot. I sent him a text message telling him the feeling is mutual. A little while after sending it, it hit me that his confession had only been part of a dream. FML

Today, I didn't have the courage to tell the guy who likes me that I only thought of him as a friend, so I asked my best friend to do it for me. It turns out that her way of doing this is telling him to "Fuck off" and then punching him in the face. FML

Today, I finally told my crush that I like her. She said she could never date me, because apparently, "My best friend likes you." Her best friend is my step-sister. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to make a move on the guy I've been crushing on. I asked him if he would like to go see a movie with me. He answered, "Sorry, I've already seen it." I didn't even mention any particular movie. FML

Well this might not as bad as it could have been, he's known for ages that you have a crush on him, it doesn't make him too uncomfortable, and he's handled it and stays friends with you. You still have a best friend, and a lot of times that's worth more than a crush.

#4-Those things don't always work. Your best bet is to try to move on. I fell for a couple of gay guys in my high school... they were always super nice to me and dressed super cute. But, when I found out, I realized that was never gonna happen.

My best friend is doing the same thing right now, ignoring my feelings for her. But thankfully, I haven't had to hear validation of that, i just know it already. Sorry you had to hear it though. Thats even worse D:

#4 That's the best way of getting the friend to stop talking to him/her. It's annoying having your friends liking you and not being able to take a hint and leave you alone about it.

I was in the same situation and had to text my best friend that I was absolutely crazy for him. He said "thanks" and that it "didn't affect our friendship" and then got outed to me five months later by a guy who had a crush on him. Yeah, it sucked.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people text each other these things in the first place. Gather some courage and say it to their face - even if they reject you it won't be as harsh as what they'll say via text.

Yeah... we guys aren't very good at saying "no" so it's not unbelievable that he was trying to ignore your feelings, hoping that they'd go away. Lesson learned!
