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

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.

Seriously? You sent a TEXT? You deserved that. Besides, what else would you have them do if they don't share your feelings? Let things be weird?

ohhh!!! douche... i bet you're feeling pretty crappy, i would. all that time, you could have been liking someone much better, who DOESN'T crush you with a line like that.

why are there SO MANY bf /gf he /she doesnt like me stories?!?!? sorry about that cuz that hurts but seriously these type of stories are getting old

Well, good on you for trying. You can't hold it against him that he wanted to stay friends even knowing you liked him... Better than ignoring you.

Well this exact same thing happened to me about a year and a half ago. But we were still best friends after I said something to him. And his feelings actually changed and we are together now. It took a year and a half haha but it happened. So maybe it will happen with you. But the last year and a half was still great. It wasn't awkward at all or anything. So as long as you are ok with still being friends right now then everything should work out just fine.

I've said/received the same types of answers in friend/crush situations. Granted, usually, most people are at least a tad bit more tactful. I mean, were you flirting with him to the point that it was obnoxious and he still ignored you? If that's the case, and he made it implicit that he didn't have feelings for you like that to begin with, then I can't really sympathize with your situation. You have to take into account that is a very awkward thing to say to admit to a friend. Awkward situations call for awkward reactions. :/

Yeah so that sucks, and basically the exact same thing happened to me, all you can really do is not make it awkward and just stay friends like it didn't happen.

I had a crush on the guy across the hall from me almost as soon as the semester began. For a month, I didn't say anything to him. During that time, he would tell me about the various girls he liked, and at one point I even tried to help set him up with one of them. When I finally told him I liked him, he said he had known that all along.
