Today, I brought a friend who I have loved for years out to a nice restaurant for dinner. I ordered an expensive bottle of wine, and poured each of us a glass. As I was about to tell her I loved her, she raised her glass for a toast and said "A toast to friendship!" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after 10+ years of being best friends, I finally told my best friend "I love you" while we were on the phone. To which she said, "That's OK, but…" and continued the conversation. Maybe I shouldn't have drank so much, or waited so long. We're both in happy marriages, with kids with other people now though. FML
Today, I was hanging with my lesbian friend, who I am secretly in love with. I bought her flowers, took her out to eat, and we held hands all through dinner. We met up with our friends later and she told them what we did, then said, "Isn't she the best friend ever? I'm so glad I have an honorary sister like her." FML
Today, I was at my girlfriend’s family dinner when her father suddenly raised a glass and said, “Let’s all raise a toast to the new couple!” I looked at my girlfriend, confused, only to realize he meant her brother and his now fiancé, who had just announced their engagement an hour earlier. I quickly but awkwardly raised my glass to avoid admitting my memory is dogshit. FML
Today, I took a friend out for what I thought was date. After dinner was over and I paid, she pulled the bill out and wrote her name phone number on it for the waiter. FML
Today, I watched my best friend get married to the guy I have been in love with since the eighth grade. I was the maid of honor, and had to give a toast to the couple. FML
Today, I took this gorgeous girl from work to eat at Olive Garden. I was trying to be romantic and had the waiter bring two glasses of wine. I guess she doesn't really drink wine, she covered her fettucini Alfredo in vomit. After dinner, she thanked me with a french kiss. FML
Today, I was at a club with a friend. A cute guy kept smiling and looking over at me. He left his seat and went to the bar and brought back two drinks. He waved me over and then said, "Can you tell your hot friend that I bought her a drink?" FML
Today, I invited my crush to come and spend Thanksgiving dinner with me and my family, she agreed but asked me if she could bring her friend. Turns out her "friend" was actually her boyfriend and they drank all the expensive wine I bought. FML
Today, I confessed my feelings to the love of my life. She laughed and said, “Nah, you’re like a brother to me, I can’t see you that way.” This after I drained my wallet for her birthday, brought her flowers and comforted her when her dog passed away, and fixed her car every time it broke down. FML
Today, I was asked to give a toast at my best friend’s wedding. I confidently walked up, tapped my glass, and began with, “Marriage is like...” Then I completely blanked, for about 10 seconds, but it felt like hours. I finished with, “...good luck!” and sat down to slow, confused golf claps. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She probably knows you like her and doesn't like you back. So, instead of being a bitch and rejecting you, she kept you as a friend. It definitely could have been worse, buddy.

I love how every one bitches about rejection. What is someone supposed to do if they're not attracted to you? Say yes and pity date you? Get into a relationship so you dont get your feelings hurt and inevitably treat you like shit? Yeah it sucks, but I hate peoples' attitude about it.

you actually could have taken that chance to tell her that you want to be "more than friends" now you probably just said, "oh, right, to friendship". now if u tell her, she may get confused... u missed your chance, YDI.

I disagree. If she knows he feels that way, but is giving him hope without any real chance of a relationship, that's absolutely cruel. I feel for you, dude.

I said it could have been worse...and you disagree? That makes no sense.

How is she giving him hope? I think she went about this the most tactful way without hurting her friend's (the OP) feelings. Only a creep would take this as a sign of "giving" hope... And like they said, i think most people have a clue when it comes to knowing if someone likes them or not. Unless the OP is very unattractive then his crush would probably never even consider it to begin with.

Um. No. Being ignored is by far worse. I'm assuming the OP actually likes this girl because she's a good friend.. and not just because she's good looking. So how is losing a friend better than not? Take a hint, keep your pants on, and keep your friend.

I agree with #2 - sucks big time, but loving a friend isn't so bad. Hopefully it can develop into a kind of brother-sister love, like it sounds like she has for you.

Yeep. Unfortunately, the girl doesn't have feelings for op, but she may see qualities in him that makes him a valuable friend. Maybe in the future, feelings will blossom, you never know! If she is the one he whole-heartedly loves, I don't think op should give up, but try harder, and make her feel she is worth the fight!!!!:)

Honestly of she was a true friend she wouldn't take advantage of his nice gestures and just talk to him about his feelings towards her and try to build their relationship based on friendship not one sided love.

very true!

me being a guy, it's not so much about not wanting to be rejected, but generally guys don't want anything to do with girls that reject them

Agreed, bexox. It's a matter of maturity.
