Today, I had lunch with an old friend I've had a crush on for years. We're both single, so I figured it to be kind of like a date. Until he started talking about how he told his brother last night that we would never be a thing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had lunch with a couple of my friends and a guy I like. Another guy I have a crush on came and ate with us too. After lunch, one of the guys I have a crush on told me the other guy I like is sexy. FML
Today, I've had a crush on a guy for a while - a friend of mine knows this. I finally decided to find out once and for all if there was any chance with him, so I drove to his house, armed with a home cooked meal and wine, only to find the very friend I confided in was at his house. It turns out they are now an item. FML
Today, I told my friend that I insisted on to remaining single, but yet he still wanted to introduce me to a friend of his. Turns out it was my ex, whom I haven't talked to for 5 years. 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, the guy I've been crushing on at work finally asked me out to lunch. I was nervous we wouldn't have anything to talk about. He spent the entire hour talking about how amazing his new girlfriend is. FML
Today, I went to an old boyfriend's birthday party. An annoying friend suggested that we should try dating again. We were both with our new partners, who were standing nearby when she said that. 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, I found out that yet another of my guy friends liked me. I then posted on social media that I just wanted a guy friend that had absolutely no romantic feelings for me. My crush volunteered. FML
Today, at lunch, I told a bunch of people how I had been in love with this guy since freshman year. I made a bunch of jokes about how I was going to marry him and our kids would be so attractive. He was at the table next to mine and looked back at me as soon as I finished. FML
Today, I was hanging out with a friend at an ice cream place, and a guy started chatting with us. As he eventually went to leave, he told me, "That's a nice looking date you got there." Then he turned to my friend. "Wish I could say the same to you." FML

Sorry but lunch with a single friend does not equal a date. Just friends.

You sort of deserve it for expecting it to be a date sorry :/

Welcome to the friend zone

I guess that's what you get for sitting there and waiting for someone else to act on your desires.

I mean, to be fair, I have done the same thing because I didn't think the other person shared my feelings. I wanted to protect myself from seeming like *I* thought it was a date by clarifying that it wasn't -- didn't want to seem interested because I thought he wasn't interested so I overcorrected and referred to him as basically my brother, best friend, etc. All because I liked him and really WANTED it to be a date, etc.

And they say only boys get friendzoned.

You should have got up and left. Maybe he'd have realized that was the wrong thing to say

How is that the wrong thing to say? If he doesn't want to be with her then it's not wrong for him to say so, no matter how much she wants to be with him.

That sucks. As someone who has been friendzoned by a crush, I know how that feels. The best thing you can do, OP, is to stop hanging out with him altogether and move on.

Doesn't it seem like a jerk move to completely ignore an old friend because their feeling aren't reciprocated?

If you can get over the crush and stay friends with that person, that's great. But if you can't get over it and the unreciprocated feelings make you miserable, then I'd say it's better to call it quits.

If they're an old friend you should never expect it to be a date. with a new person that's understandable but with an old friend it needs to be stated clearly that you're going out before you should think it's a date.

its not a date unless they tell you its a date..you shouldn't just assume.

There is no such thing as 'kind of like a date'. Either its a date or its not.
