Today, a guy I've liked for a while asked if he could talk to me during break. He'd never done that before, so I was excited and said yes. As soon as we both sat down, he asked if I'd help him get a date with my best friend. FML

Today, I finally told the guy I like that I'm in love with him. He's the first person I have ever fallen in love with and owning up to my feelings was nerve-wracking due to my anxiety. He rejected me and ghosted me after saying he would get in touch soon. FML

Today, I decided to confess my feelings and perform a love song I'd written for my crush during an open mic night. He was there - he also took the opportunity to declare his love to his on-off girlfriend, get down on one knee and propose to her. She said yes. FML

Yup... I had that happen to me... dated a guy, only to find out two months before he got married that he was engaged, two day's before he got married he called me and told me "he loved me" wtf... luckily I had never had sex with him during our one year, there was just something that told me not too.. good thing for sense... "maybe he just wante da fling before he's wedding, thank god I never went"

No kidding! It could have been worse if OP had confessed her feelings first only to hear of his engagement immediately after.

You wanted to confess your feelings, which means that he had no idea. Which means that you weren't seeing each other. You love someone who you're not even seeing? No, you're crushing in a creepy way.

Better that he talked first I think, saves you alot of pain. Also loving someone without knowing them is completly superficial, just saying. (Ps. I don't know your situation, you might know him of course)
