Today, I was on the phone with my best guy friend, who I have loved for years. I was talking about school and all of a sudden he said "I love you." I flipped out saying "Oh my god, oh my god. I love you, too!" He responded with "what?" He was talking to his mom, who was walking out the door. FML
I agree, your life sucks (44104) - you totally deserved it (9106)

You could pretend you were joking, especially if you flipped out that much. It would be easy to pretend you were making a weird joke by overreacting.
#3 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:02pm by wallythedolly
dude, even if he were saying "i love you" to you, that crazy of a reaction might freak him out a bit. chill out man.
Sorry whoever u r... Sounds kind of awkward for the recipient
#11 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:04pm by FuBballspieler
Wow, over-react much? Something that "big," I'd definitely check to see he was saying what I thought he was saying - I'm going to go with YDI.
Yea pretend you were joking and laugh about it. He'd never know. guys are dense! haha
#16 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:05pm by fishburger420
At this point in time, it would only be logical to wish you were his mom. Then at least you would be loved.
HAHAA okay sorry, must be painful. You'll find a someone who will say I love you to you SOMEDAY. maybe not today.. well obviously not today. but okay
i'm done. =]
Try flirting first, eh? But you sound pretty young, so...
#20 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:06pm by Alex_DeLarge
Awww I'm sorry Hun. But down here in vegas friends say I love you all the time so fer me it'd be not so awkward
lol at #17
an just be like oh yea my mom was leaving somewhere far on a business trip for a month and i was tellin her i love her lol
#22 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:08pm by fcukstylez
Oh, guys don't normally say I love you like that. This girl I've loved since september was flipping out on me to say it one time, she doesn't even love me though, she just wanted me to say it, sorry random story
#25 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:08pm by pantherfan90
Perhaps he's thinking the same thing and when you said you loved him, maybe he blushed too.
#27 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:10pm by NorfolkDude
wow, this is like the fourth time i've read a story like this.
who'd you copy this from?
#29 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:11pm by xxxdinosaurxxx
U could have said my mom was walking out the door too! Or to your dad who's going to the store once you think about it there is like a million answers you could have told him to cover it up
#33 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:14pm by soccerstar6115
Ha ha ha should have asked if he was serious! You deserved it!
#43 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:19pm by Colindapieman
ydi it cause either way u over reacted. plus guys dnt rly say stuff outta the blue like that. and he prob said it diff than he wouldve if he was actually talking to u which u shoulda been able to pick up one
#44 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:20pm by candyapple1
wow, that must have been awkward.
#33-lmao! so when your mom's leaving and says she loves you, you would go "oh my god! oh my god! i love you too!!!"? i would die of laughter if i was the mom.
#47 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:22pm by suckstobeyou3
YDI for not telling him your feelings. Just fucking tell him. If he's a TRUE best friend he will either:
A) like you back and then you can live happily ever after etc
or
B) not like you back but just be cool about it and let you down easy
Harboring love inside, ESPECIALLY for years is not only extremely retarded, but it will only end up hurting yourself.
#56 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:30pm by genius_man16
you couldnt tell by the tone of his voice? usually when someones saying it to their mom who is LEAVING they end it on a higher voice. when they are revealing their feelings to you theyre softer in tone. YDI
Lmao I'm sorry but wow, that must have really sucked for you. Hey, it's better to get it off your chest anyway. Keep something that important in for too long and you may burst xP
#60 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:34pm by LoveLessBeauty13
I hope you did play it off!!! Say you knew he was saying it to someone else.. but you decided to just go along with it coz you were bored? LAME but it can work lol hope everything works out for you!!!
tell us what happeneddddddddddddd next please!!
That just sucks! It's pretty funny though. Sucks to be you ;)
#72 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:43pm by IrishHero12
That sucks. At least you have it off your chest now.
#75 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:45pm by hopeyourlifesuck
So what? Us guys don't bite (unless you're into that kind of stuff). Just fuckin' tell him, and he'll probably say yes.
I really want to hear the rest of the story. did you play it off or open up to him? I'm intrigued. Also, lmao @ 17
Oh that's horrible!!!
Damn! Hahaha funny as hell!
Bummer!
#81 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:48pm by TasteMyInk
i agree with # 56.
but its not really a bit deal, me and my girl best friend says that every now and then. its not really a big deal, we even flirt w ea other eventhough i have a girlfriend, and she has a best friend. since u have crush on him, then i guess u could always say "i love ya too. well, like a brother." but its best if u confess because otherwise it would be really painful, just like what #56 said.
You're best friends and don't love each other? That's pretty sad...
Oh, you meant... people are really stupid.
#87 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:53pm by kevind23
56... WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once those "feelings" are confessed, especially if they are one sided the friendship is forever changed... Even if both parties don't want it to change! I've been there (both ways), known people who have been there, and just understand basic human psychology!
I do agree that usually it is better than holding it in because i've done that too... but don't think that it will just stay the same after, that is far from true!
#94 - On 06/02/2009 at 8:59pm by sparda4355
Even if he realizes you weren't joking, this might not be a bad thing
You really should tell him how you feel if it's been years already
And if he doesn't feel the same way, you can move on and find someone who does :)
#95 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:00pm by konstantdreamer8
Wow...
That's why you always say "What?????" In that deep breathy voice where you sound like you're constipated, and then be like "Oh, good, cause I don't like you either!"
-----
YDI for spilling out your biggest secret over the phone.
#98 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:02pm by Shlizabeth
Wow classic mistake. Don't ever do that unless they say your name. Ydi. But sorry it'll cool over.
#99 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:04pm by cheezy_time_wow4
me and my best guy friend say i love u all the time. if he was truly your best friend - it wouldn't be that big of a deal....
#106 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:08pm by firedancer
Aww . Don't worry. I fell inlove with my best guy friend and everything worked out ! Maybe it was time to tell him.. Maybe be feels the same way about you! Don't get upset about it, there's so many possibilitys that could cone from this (:
It helps to make sure that he was talking to you first because you could have just ruined your friendship and any chance you had at him. YDI for spazzing like that.
#115 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:17pm by abbulldog1499
In my own personal experience, best friend into lover turns out pretty horrible. Not as easy at it seems.
Pony up. You'll live.
:)
He's your best friend and you don't exchange "I love you"s? That's very strange to me. Hm.
#131 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:34pm by SeeAlsoJaime
Wow; I'd just play it off by laughing after his reaction. Try not to freak , you'll probably wierd them out ;)
U guys realize he could still love the OP just hasn't said it yet ?
#149 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:42pm by thatswasup
#17.
i dont believe us males are all have a high relative density or specific gravity
#153 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:45pm by JohnFR33M4N
That sucks haha. That's what you get for jumping to conclusions.
#163 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:56pm by KingFail23
I sometimes do that when I am talking to someone and they have Bluetooth.
#164 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:56pm by bored2deatha
Duhh it's nothin to flip about and whad he say after LOL
#165 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:58pm by IronicMazza
Wow that doesn't say anxious all over it.... YDI for being so desperate
#166 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:58pm by stavinator
That sucks balls. I know how you feel, minus the "I love you part" haha
#169 - On 06/02/2009 at 9:59pm by heidi_twin
I hate that I was in love with a guy friend but when I told him that he ignored me and it ruined the friendship. So after awhile I realize I don't need him. Trust me he is most likely not "the one".
major fail. this story was in the Seventeen magazine edition from a year ago. except you copied it wrong, he said "Love you"
get a life.
#185 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:15pm by cherrylullaby7
Pretend you never said it, accuse your friend of saying it, scream UR GAY! into the phone and quickly hang up. Works every time! :-)
#189 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:18pm by bloop123abc
OMG!!! Why would you just start screaming like that??? LOL...I would have made him repeat it before I responded....desperate!!!
Even if he said tjat you shouldnt explode...your like tom cruise and opra
#193 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:20pm by youdontwanttokno
Hhahahaaha well that was dumb of you to freak out...hopefully you were smart enough to play it off as a joke.
#194 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:21pm by audiogasmic
Sweetie, you are young. In 20 years, you won't even remember this or the guy. Trust me, if this is the worst thing that ever happens to you, you are very lucky. Don't keep thinking about it, we all say dumb things, we wish we could take back. Besides, maybe he does love you & was scared to say it. Let us know what happens. Good luck!
Haha ewww
Why would you over react like that?
What did u do when he said what?
#199 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:23pm by sweetdreamz454
My guy friends and I say I love you all the time I mean you could have been like I love you and then when he freaked out then you explain it as if you meant it to be a friendship kind of love.
#200 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:23pm by killuhb
Awww that sucks! I know exactly what u mean! It's ok, I woulda done the same thing but yup that sucks
#202 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:27pm by citruschick
LOL wow he is sosmart for saying that right into the phone or you are so stupid that you didn't hear him try and cover it of move away
#203 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:28pm by soccerlvr17
I'm gonna guess you're a teenager, in which case I assure you, you're not in love.
#204 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:29pm by Nosferatu2894
oh that sucks! a simalar thing happened to me exept in person
#206 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:30pm by strickerman101
Why do people have the first comment instst on saying they have the first one. It's really annoying.
#208 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:31pm by Schumy0724
uhm i've heard this before in a MAGAZINE! word for word
#216 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:37pm by imonaboat1234
Think that's bad, i'll show u bad just tell me WTF "varible author is missing" means
#217 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:38pm by apelpapa23
awww. i know how you feel. i'm in love with my best guy friend too. its taken him two years to finally find feelings for me. you'll be okay. hope everything works out for you babe.
#224 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:41pm by inlovewithbff
Ohhh no I hope you were just like calm down u wasn't talking to you eithererr! Gosh get off my back! Haha thats what i

#230 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:46pm by xo5delaney5ox

newayz the only reason ur life is fucked is that you couldn't emprovise with a comeback. It doesn't seem that hard.
In conclusion, you're dumb.

#240 - On 06/02/2009 at 10:59pm by wowyoufail
Uhmm well maybe u should talk to him about it I mean I don't think it would ruin your relationship with him?
#241 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:02pm by motocross99rider
Can someone help me wen i try to post something it says the variable author is missing wat do i do to fix this
say u were talkin to one of ur other friends on a different line
#244 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:11pm by Eye_of_the_Storm
if you want a relationship, you should really tell him. just be honest. he might feel the same way. be strong. :)
uhhh desperate much?
chill out, even if he felt that way,
your reaction would probably have scared him off.
That was just dumb. How would you believe he would just randomly say that??? YDI
#257 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:36pm by TheChipmonkeys
true fml moment
you could not even write that if u were a hollywood producer or some sort of funny man
happens to the best of us tho, dont even, nice ppl do get breaks
#261 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:38pm by 20batman09
U should have just played it off.. He would have believed it
#262 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:39pm by bballchicka95
FUCK YOU #1, WE GET IT YOU WERE FIRST. JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU ANNOYING BITCH
#265 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:41pm by noobslayer92
Oh my... That isn't good. I don't think u should have played it off tho. U should just tell him how u feel. I kno u don't want it to ruin ur friendship, but if ur really good friends, it will work out. My friends guy friend told her that he was in love with her. She freaked out, and it was awkward for awhile, but they got over it and it went back to how it was b4.
Either way good luck! :)
And for all the ppl saying that she doesn't really like him, and she will get over it, u don't kno that.
Awwww!!!! I'm so sorry. That really sucks. So does he now know you love him?
#275 - On 06/02/2009 at 11:54pm by loves2readyabks
Sounds like something that would happen to me. I hope it doesn't. My best gal friend I love, and I can just see this happening to me. Must feel like shit after that. Sorry to hear that.
LOVE IT!!!!! haha soooo embarrasing though.... Fyl
#283 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:06am by pointedancer96
#279, thank you so much, i cried too, and then felt like a huge loser.
#284 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:06am by mohomonopoly
I feel your pain. :(
I'm really hoping that something like this won't happen to me sometime soon.
#287 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:15am by misstragedy
that realy sucksu should have said u were kidding
#295 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:31am by willanator451690
I'm so sorryyy ;( what'd he say afterwards? Maybe he thought you were just saying I love you like friends do?
#298 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:32am by familyguyfan
If it wasn't a quick call then chances he likes you back but is a pussy. You need to take control of this one if you really like him so much.
but why that guy say: i love you...to his mother suddenly???
#301 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:40am by sissi
Omg that sucks i have a best girl thats a friend and i love her wow i know how u feel
#306 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:52am by elementfive159
Aw, that's sad love is hard to find and some people are not open to it but it is best to tell the person you love the you truely do love them because maybe they will love you back. ^^
#307 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:52am by CodeMonkey123
Oh, and most guys won't say stuff like that unless you say it first I am a guy and I will never say I love you unless you say it first because well i fear rejection!!!!
#312 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:57am by CodeMonkey123
Maybe he really did mean it but was embarassed by your reaction? No matter, you sort of brought that upon yourself.....
#313 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:57am by theillusionary
hey, you never know. my best guy friend told me he loved me when he was drunk one night..i didn't think too much of it, first off he was drunk and anyhow i thought he probably meant just how you would love a close friend. but no, he meant he was IN love with me, he told me later, even though i was with someone else at the time. six years later, we're happily married with a child.
sometimes amazing things can happen if you tell people how you feel. and at least you won't be left wondering "what if?"
#314 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:58am by fretforyerlatte
This sounds like a previous FML.
YDI No one randomly says I love you.
#320 - On 06/03/2009 at 1:04am by xkonstantine125x
woahh..that sucks.
thats happened to me before..
fyourlife fersure :x
anyone else notice how the number of comments has increased since you can comment from iphones now? lolz.
#325 - On 06/03/2009 at 1:21am by SusanaSaysRawrxD
#313/ fretforyerlatte - awwwh, that's such a sweet story!
just admit it if you like someone, sometimes they feel the same way and just need the other person to break the ice. or would you rather watch them get a gf/bf and marry someone else while you wonder about all the "what if"s? if you guys are truly best friends, a confession like this won't hurt your friendship. :)
haha that happend to my dad when he was in a drive through. he was talking to his dad and had to hang up right as he got the food, and he was using blue tooth haha but ya tht sux dude
If it's been years you really should've told him by now anyway. If it's meant to work out, it will. Either way he'll probably be nice about it because he cares about you as a person.
#336 - On 06/03/2009 at 2:06am by ashleyirene
Ooo I have had things that relate to that but that rly just sucks!!!!

#340 - On 06/03/2009 at 2:15am by bmwooden15
First of all, that's sucky!! Second of all, #332 shut the hell up!! You talk like a total bitch and prob work at McDonalds!!
#341 - On 06/03/2009 at 2:17am by stanfrdpenguin13
You are halfway out of the closet.. its either you play it off and go back in, or you fully expose yourself and reveal your real feelings. In your situation, I would have just played it off as if it were a joke. everything is always easier said than done; its the fact of life!

Seventeen's March edition:
"I was on the phone with my best guy friend, who I have a secret crush on. His mother was on her way out the door, and he said, 'Love you." I thought he was talking to me and I totally freaked out! I excitedly told him, 'I love you too!' Then he said he was talking to his mom. So humiliating!"
I read the edition this morning:)
#349 - On 06/03/2009 at 3:08am by cherrylullaby7
yeah I agree with #57
you can tell by the tone of their voice
you shoulda said "who are you talking to?" lol
WOW! Something like this happened to me a few years ago, but I was the recipient. It was awkward for like 5 minutes and then we got together. Anyway, sucks for you. You should talk to him about it. I hope things work out. :)
Correction, #5 The boys YOU KNOW don't say "I love you" out of the blue. You don't know every boy in the world.
#363 - On 06/03/2009 at 8:12am by ChelseaChops
Lame. Get over him and stop hovering. If he doesn't want you yet, he never will.
#367 - On 06/03/2009 at 8:49am by lyndsaygirl
Cover your tracks I'm sure u don't want to not have him as a friend.
#372 - On 06/03/2009 at 9:41am by alycatbebe
@22 a bit specific, did that happen to you?
*pats back*
It'll be okay, I promise
#373 - On 06/03/2009 at 9:48am by ryanpwnzyouz09
That's why you play hard to get... Because what you said, even if he meant it is creepy.
#375 - On 06/03/2009 at 10:40am by wilshires1
...BREAKING NEWS!
It is impossible to claim that you have a best guy friend when you are attracted to them.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING.... either they want to get in your pants or in this case, vise versa
YDI
Yep, total Seventeen ripoff.
Today, I realized I still read Seventeen. I'm turning 22 soon. FML
#380 - On 06/03/2009 at 12:41pm by betsymonty
#8, of course she was desperate, you moron.. she's been in love with the guy for years; you'd be desperate too. *rolls eyes*
OP, I'm sorry, that completely sucks. I'm in the same situation right now, except I'm not even friends with the guy anymore so I don't know what to do. It's awful, but don't give up =)
#382 - On 06/03/2009 at 1:38pm by Travestie616
Wow that really sucks. Maybe u should have asked him out cuz u have abvously "loved him for years". WTF were u waiting for? An invitation?
#387 - On 06/03/2009 at 3:12pm by hesterfan23
Oops! If it's been years, maybe you should have done something by now to have the relationship go one way or the other. You might be able to prevent having too many future awkward moments like that again. I think YDI for being such a spaz. Grow a pair and ask the boy out!
seriously this FML makes the cut?
a) been posted
b) not that bad/funny
#390 - On 06/03/2009 at 3:39pm by thelarkscaw
THIS WAS IN THE "TRAUMARAMA" PART IN THE HAYDEN PANETTIERE ISSUE OF SEVENTEEN MAGAZINE
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!
#391 - On 06/03/2009 at 3:55pm by asdfghjklEMMA
Thats a bit of an 'oops' moment....But yeah, you could have said that you were joking. I mean if you were flipping out that much.....
Hmm you've had a lot of fmls... Don't belive half your stories and in one you were a dude and now your a girl!!?!?!????
act like it never happened and if he ever brings it up say "really I said that" try not to sound sarcastic though say it as if it where just another surprising fact like as if he told you something like "did u know ost aids is transferred through mosquitos" or something
#406 - On 06/04/2009 at 12:31am by IgetmyhighfromFM
Awww that sucks. U sould just forget about it and try to win his love :)
#409 - On 06/04/2009 at 12:57am by MajorSilva
I hate when that happens! I've had it happen to me more then once, I don't play it as a joke, but I've been rejected almost everytime, eh but that's cause I'm weird and ugly.
Oh God... Awkward! Well, if he's worthy of your affections then your friendship will get past this little mishap. Hopefully he'll even think about it. If you were totally rejected then just know that most everyone else also deals with something like that at some point in their lives.
oo awkward.. yup, you should have just said you were just kidding!
#416 - On 06/04/2009 at 1:36pm by lisaxkaitlin
Well you will know one of 2 things, either he loves you back or he doesn't. You never get what you don't ask for!
#419 - On 06/04/2009 at 8:07pm by lonestartexasmn
A guy wouldn't just say something huge so nonchalantly. If he really meant it, it would've been far more sincere and emotional.
#420 - On 06/04/2009 at 9:59pm by painandpeace
Maybe you should tell him how you feel. You know, this kind of sounds like a few movies I've seen.
#422 - On 06/05/2009 at 1:07am by beautyisahorse
Okay, let's think about this: Why would your best friend randomly tell you, over the fucking phone, that he loves you. That never happens anywhere but movies. Learn about reality. Seriously.
Fuck your best friend, for saying that so you can here it.
Fuck you, for being dumb enough to jump to conclusions.

#425 - On 06/05/2009 at 2:25am by XxHeartBrokenxX
So you loved him for years,
U hear him say I love you,
But it's to his mom.
Yea,
FYL
No it's
Why haven't u told him sooner?
