Today, I had lunch with an old friend I've had a crush on for years. We're both single, so I figured it to be kind of like a date. Until he started talking about how he told his brother last night that we would never be a thing. FML

Today, I had lunch with a couple of my friends and a guy I like. Another guy I have a crush on came and ate with us too. After lunch, one of the guys I have a crush on told me the other guy I like is sexy. FML

Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML

Today, I told my friend that I insisted on to remaining single, but yet he still wanted to introduce me to a friend of his. Turns out it was my ex, whom I haven't talked to for 5 years. 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, the guy I've been crushing on at work finally asked me out to lunch. I was nervous we wouldn't have anything to talk about. He spent the entire hour talking about how amazing his new girlfriend is. FML

That one annoying friend

Today, I went to an old boyfriend's birthday party. An annoying friend suggested that we should try dating again. We were both with our new partners, who were standing nearby when she said that. 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, at lunch, I told a bunch of people how I had been in love with this guy since freshman year. I made a bunch of jokes about how I was going to marry him and our kids would be so attractive. He was at the table next to mine and looked back at me as soon as I finished. FML

Today, I was hanging out with a friend at an ice cream place, and a guy started chatting with us. As he eventually went to leave, he told me, "That's a nice looking date you got there." Then he turned to my friend. "Wish I could say the same to you." FML

Sorry but lunch with a single friend does not equal a date. Just friends.

You sort of deserve it for expecting it to be a date sorry :/

Shouldn't have assumed. Besides if you've had a crush for years you probably should've spoken up sooner.

Assumptions like that get emotions stirred where they don't need to be. Instead you should be upfront, just because I'm single, doesn't mean going for coffee with another person is equal to a date. You hung out together... Nothing more.

Now you can stop wasting your time dreaming about some nonexistent future with him.

At least he knows where he stands

Well, at least you now know how he feels, so it might be best to move on. Anyway, a lunch between two single people is not automatically a date, kind of silly to assume that.

just straight up ask him why.

Probably cause he just doesn't view her that way. Forcing feelings can lead to a very dysfunction relationship

Just "straight up asking why?" is not only very desperate sounding, but also none of her business. This guy doesn't owe OP an explanation of his feelings, and probing for one makes her appear insecure.

Just because they are both single, doesn't mean the guy has to like OP romantically. That is the only explanation OP deserves.

Tuesday 21 July 2015 20:14

wow you people are overreacting. asking why is a completely okay thing to do. it's not being desperate or intrusive. if the op reveals feelings to a certain person the other person should at least have the humanity to explain why. morons.

He isn't attracted to her. What other explanation does OP need?

Its not date.. Until you both treat it as a date

Hmm. ... Yet if it was a guy treating a friendly hang out as a date he would be a pathetic asshole, right?

Not really, imo. It is definitely not good to assume regular hangouts are dates, mainly because the only one you end up hurting is yourself. But I don't think it's "asshole-ish," I think it just comes of as sadly hopeful/desperate and willfully blind. For me, it becomes "asshole-ish" when the dude/girl starts demanding sexual favors that you "owe" for wasting their time/money, spreading rumors that you're dating and doing/saying more than you actually have, saying you lead them on and are an attention-seeking ***** when they find out you only see them as friends (despite the fact that there was NEVER any actual mention of dates or romantic feelings), or getting angry at you when they find out you only see them as friends and calling you a bitchy friendzoner who only goes douches/***** instead of nice people like them. THAT is what makes them pathetic assholes imo. OP definitely deserves it though, since as I said you just set your self up when you make such delusions, and many comments here have told her just that.
