Today, my crush confessed their love for me, and I happily told them that I felt the same way. They looked uncomfortable, so I asked why. Apparently they'd been paid to prank me. FML

College life is hell

Today, my crush came up to me at a college party and said "I like you." I tried to be cool and said sarcastically, "Thank you. I like myself too. That was a wonderful prank." He was amazed, and asked me how I knew it was a prank. FML

Today, I got all excited because I thought my crush was flirting with me, when in actuality she was taking advantage of me liking her so she and her friends could make fun of my speech impediment. FML

Overcompensating

Today, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my crush how I feel about them. I poured my heart out, only for them to tell me that they're already seeing someone else. To make matters worse, they then asked me for advice on how to impress their new partner. FML

Never crush on company time

Today, I sent a heartfelt text to my crush confessing my feelings. I was over the moon when I saw they were typing a response. Turns out they were just asking if I could cover their shift at work. Rejected and now on the night shift. 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

Should have replied "aw I'm glad because I was just feeling sorry for you" and walked away. Don't let this bring you down

Being paid to mess with someone's feelings is downright cruel.

that is horrible. They are so not worth it if they will happily do something like that. Even if they thought you would say no. it is not ok

unfortunately my saying this won't necessarily help, but I think a lot of people have had that experience OP. you are not alone and you are desirable Anne attractive. Please don't let this make you think that anyone who asks you out or shows interest in you in the future is doing .the same. They aren't. there is also nothing wrong with you. many people are treated like this, because the asshats who do this need someone to "prank".

I know that in school for example, it does happen where people ask someone out as a dare or a joke. and the person will foreven struggle.to believe someone is genuine if they are asked out in the future.

I’m very confused... they? How many crushes do you have that declared their love to you ? Am I reading this wrong ?

They can be used as the singular as well. ie 'they went to the store' could be replaced with 'George went to the store'. It's not always plural usage.

Actually it's not. If someone said to you, "Hey where's Sue?" You could correctly answer, "They went to get a drink." Magically, that does not make Susan suddenly more than one person. Also, you can be plural. If you saw a group of people and said, "Hey you over there!" you wouldn't be singling one person out of the group, you'd be addressing them all.

@goober96, “they” being only plural is old-school. Now, it is apparently acceptable to use they/them/their as a gender-neutral singular program. I don’t make the rules — I am just letting you know what is going on.

Some people go by "they" these days.

Doesn't matter what you accept or don't.Languages change and evolve over time. For example 'awful' used to be aweful. As in 'Filled with awe'. Now it means something is terrible. The fact it is now being used in such a way is common thing and thus an example of the aforementioned evolution. That society has accepted it has made it a 'rule' that they can also be singular as well as plural.
