Love, Relatable, Awkward, Break-ups and Confused: Make up your mind

Make up your mind

By WhatKindOfZoneIsThis - 05/02/2022 22:00 - United States - Staten Island

Today, my crush told me that she has zero desire to pursue a romantic relationship with me, and has only ever seen me as a friend. That would've been fine if we hadn't been seeing each other for almost a year, and passionately made out a couple of nights ago. FML

Today, I finally told the girl I'm in love with how I've felt ever since we first met six years ago. She let me know that not only does she not feel the same way, she's always considered me a creep and only ever hung out with me because of our mutual friends. FML

Long winded way of saying "No chance, mate"

Today, I went out for dinner with my crush and expressed my love for her. She responded by saying that we should know that this is the real thing, and to do so we needed to date other people and let time bring us together. FML

The old switcheroo

Today, I saw my crush for the first time since she rejected me and said she was a lesbian. The man she was passionately making out with in the dining hall would state quite the opposite. FML

Today, I found out yet another of my guy friends liked me. I posted that I just wanted a guy friend that had absolutely no romantic feelings for me. My crush volunteered. FML

Today, the girl I had a crush on for the past few months called me and wanted to tell me something. Excited, I agreed and we went out to dinner. She wanted to tell me she had been secretly seeing 'someone' for the past six months. FML

Run for the hills

Today, I realized that my girlfriend and I have no shared hobbies. We used to. She's stopped doing them with me and instead does them with someone else. No worries, he's "just a friend", although she did tell me she has a crush on him. But "nothing's going to happen" because "he doesn't feel the same". FML

A tale as old as time

Today, a really cute girl from my class invited me out for a few drinks. I’ve had a crush on her all year and thought this was my chance. We went out but it turns out she has a boyfriend of 5 and a half years she plans to marry. I saw her as a potential girlfriend and I guess she saw me as something else. FML

Today, I told a bunch of my friends that I have a crush on this one girl. They all said it's definitely one-sided and I have no chance. FML

Preventive measures

Today, I was minding my own business when the guy I have a crush on sat down next to me at work, explained that he heard that I had a crush on him and that he was flattered, but that we should "be friends" because I'm a "nice girl". I was rejected by someone I didn't even pursue. FML

Today, the girl I really thought I had feelings for told me she kissed me on the cheek because I’m a sweet person, but she doesn’t want to be my partner. FML

Seeing each other for a year and you just recently made out? That's your first clue.

Move on, there are a zillion other people out there. Get one of those stupid phone apps with the swipes or something.

Friends with benefits? Not technically romantic, but it's close enough for government work.

Soooo was she your crush or your girlfriend? You've been seeing each other for a year. That's a relationship, even if it's not a serious or monogamous one. What kind of zone is this indeed.

A year of just hanging out 1 drunken makeout session does not equal seeing each other.

Also, having had female friends in a non-romantic context, yes it’s possible for them to confuse their feelings and then realize they’re not actually interested when it gets serious. I was hanging out with one of those friends and she ran into a guy she knew, introduced me, a bit awkwardly, then when we left, she explained that she get bad because she had hurt him. He had asked her out, they started dating for a time and she realized that she wasn’t that into him, and eventually had to break it off, even though she felt bad about it. Long story short: even if you were “together” in a non-serious way, it doesn’t mean that she couldn’t realize that the depth of emotions and chemistry just wasn’t there. Hell, some people figure that out after 10 years and several kids.
