Today, I finally got the courage to tell my best friend that I've had a crush on him since our junior year. Since I couldn't see him I shot him a text. His response: "Yeah I know. I've tried kind of ignoring it." FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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, I've had a crush on my friend for a long time, and everyone around us had convinced me that he had feelings too, so I finally confessed. I got sister/friend-zoned. I'm trying not to cry myself to sleep. FML
Today, as I recently starting having a huge crush on this one guy, my friend told me she told him about the crush, and that he reacted positively. I made a move, only to find out he has a partner. I've tried distancing myself to get over him but he befriended all my friends and is now in our group chat, and the crush has only intensified. FML
Today, a guy who I was low-key crushing on asked me out. I excitedly told my best friend, as I do when I have big news. She informed me that the same guy asked her out 15 minutes ago. He'd originally been into her and only came to me because she rejected him. 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
Today, I got my crush's phone number. I started texting him and once I told him who it was, he stopped replying. FML
Today, after I finally got up the courage to talk to the girl I'd been crushing on for years, we've got super close over a few weeks. Her best friend, who I'm kinda friends with, texted me, confessing that she likes me. Now the first girl won't talk to me for the sake of her best friend, who I'm not interested in. FML
Today, I didn't have the courage to tell the guy who likes me that I only thought of him as a friend, so I asked my best friend to do it for me. It turns out that her way of doing this is telling him to "Fuck off" and then punching him in the face. FML
Today, I finally told my crush that I like her. She said she could never date me, because apparently, "My best friend likes you." Her best friend is my step-sister. FML

Well this might not as bad as it could have been, he's known for ages that you have a crush on him, it doesn't make him too uncomfortable, and he's handled it and stays friends with you. You still have a best friend, and a lot of times that's worth more than a crush.

Seriously? You sent a TEXT? You deserved that. Besides, what else would you have them do if they don't share your feelings? Let things be weird?

Well, good on you for trying. You can't hold it against him that he wanted to stay friends even knowing you liked him... Better than ignoring you.

Well this exact same thing happened to me about a year and a half ago. But we were still best friends after I said something to him. And his feelings actually changed and we are together now. It took a year and a half haha but it happened. So maybe it will happen with you. But the last year and a half was still great. It wasn't awkward at all or anything. So as long as you are ok with still being friends right now then everything should work out just fine.

I've said/received the same types of answers in friend/crush situations. Granted, usually, most people are at least a tad bit more tactful. I mean, were you flirting with him to the point that it was obnoxious and he still ignored you? If that's the case, and he made it implicit that he didn't have feelings for you like that to begin with, then I can't really sympathize with your situation. You have to take into account that is a very awkward thing to say to admit to a friend. Awkward situations call for awkward reactions. :/

Yeah so that sucks, and basically the exact same thing happened to me, all you can really do is not make it awkward and just stay friends like it didn't happen.

I had a crush on the guy across the hall from me almost as soon as the semester began. For a month, I didn't say anything to him. During that time, he would tell me about the various girls he liked, and at one point I even tried to help set him up with one of them. When I finally told him I liked him, he said he had known that all along.
