Love: Today, I finally told my best friend whom I've secretly been...

Today, I finally told my best friend whom I've secretly been in love with for two years that I was in love with her but at the last second chickened out and said I was joking. She replied with "Don't scare me like that. I thought I was going to have to find a new best friend for a second" 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, my best friend who I have been secretly in love with forever, was ranting about her ex-girlfriend. Then she said : "If only you were gay, we'd be perfect for each other." So I took the chance to tell her I was. She responded : "Well I am still not attracted to you though." FML

Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. 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, after weeks of summoning up the courage to come out of the closet to my best friend, I told her I was gay. Immediately after she started cracking up, thinking it was a joke. I was so confused and nervous, I went along with it. She still thinks I'm straight. FML

Today, I finally built up the courage to confess my love to the girl of my dreams. She turned me down. When I asked her about all the recent receptive behavior toward me, she replied, "I thought it'd be funny." FML

Today, I told my best friend I was breaking up with my girlfriend of 3 years. He thought it would be funny to tell her I was going to propose to her that night. She showed up telling me how much she loves me and that when we get married how great it will be. FML

Today, I finally got the courage to ask my best friend to go on a date with me. She assumed I meant a double date and squealed, "Who's the lucky guy?!" She thought I was her gay best friend for the past year. FML

Today, I confessed my feelings to my best friend, how I'm deeply in love with him. The consequence wasn't good, as he told me we should never talk to each other again. FML

Sounds like my life man. I actually told my current closest female friend like 2 weeks ago. It hasn't gone well.

If your friend is straight why would you even mess with your friendship like that? Did you think your declaration of love would magically turn her gay?

You deserved it. If she is not gay you are putting her in an awful position. Best friends have told me they loved me and it is what breaks friendships, cause if the feeling is not mutual there is no way you can continue the way it was. Realize that!

Well, at least now you know that she doesn't feel the same way. You can plan accordingly. Either get over it and move on or keep suffering in silence... Stay friends of not, knowing that there's no romantic future. Good luck, OP!

I told my best friend that I liked her and it was awkward for small amount of time. Now its back to normal and our relationship is stronger.

At least you found the answer to your question without messing up your friendship! And don't feel bad, OP, you'll find somebody else who'll reciprocate your love, and you and your current crush can just stay best friends.
