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

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 :/

I guess that's what you get for sitting there and waiting for someone else to act on your desires.

I mean, to be fair, I have done the same thing because I didn't think the other person shared my feelings. I wanted to protect myself from seeming like *I* thought it was a date by clarifying that it wasn't -- didn't want to seem interested because I thought he wasn't interested so I overcorrected and referred to him as basically my brother, best friend, etc. All because I liked him and really WANTED it to be a date, etc.

And they say only boys get friendzoned.

You should have got up and left. Maybe he'd have realized that was the wrong thing to say

How is that the wrong thing to say? If he doesn't want to be with her then it's not wrong for him to say so, no matter how much she wants to be with him.

That sucks. As someone who has been friendzoned by a crush, I know how that feels. The best thing you can do, OP, is to stop hanging out with him altogether and move on.

Doesn't it seem like a jerk move to completely ignore an old friend because their feeling aren't reciprocated?

If you can get over the crush and stay friends with that person, that's great. But if you can't get over it and the unreciprocated feelings make you miserable, then I'd say it's better to call it quits.

If they're an old friend you should never expect it to be a date. with a new person that's understandable but with an old friend it needs to be stated clearly that you're going out before you should think it's a date.

its not a date unless they tell you its a date..you shouldn't just assume.

Life is a challenge OP just use those flirting skills and fashion knowledge and watch him fall ;)

There is no such thing as 'kind of like a date'. Either its a date or its not.
