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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I confessed to my boyfriend that I was in love with his best friend. He confessed that he was too. FML
Today, I invited over my best friend, whom I've loved for over a year, since she had to tell me "something important". I got excited and thought she was going to tell me she loved me too. She ended up coming out to me, and wanted to know if I would meet her girlfriend. FML
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
Today, my best friend, the man who I've been in love with for nine years, finally told me he loves me and wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Unfortunately, it was while he was using me to practice proposing to his girlfriend. 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 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, 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 told my best friend of 10 years that somewhere along the way I fell in love with him and I think we should be together. His response? "I appreciate the sentiment." FML
Today, I finally gathered the courage to confess my feelings to my best friend. As I was about to tell him, he interrupted me and said, “Oh hey, by the way, I met a guy and we’re going on our first date tonight.” I awkwardly said, “Congrats,” and then I went home to eat an entire pint of ice cream by myself. FML
Today, I confessed my feelings to my best friend, how I'm deeply in love with him. The consequence wasn't good, as he told me we should never talk to each other again. FML

How could he possibly know that they're the love of his life? If me met them yesterday he must barely know them. It makes me cringe when people say that love at first sight is a thing

I knew the minute I met him that my husband was the love of my life.

I mean... you didn't, let's be honest. The minute you meet someone, you know pretty much nothing about them. You liked him and it happened that he was the man for you but you couldn't have possibly known enough about him to know that he was the love of your life the moment you met him.

it doesn't have to do with knowing about them.. it is a feeling. just because it's never happened to u doesn't mean you should act like it's impossible. I met my husband when I was 17, got married at 18.. still going strong at 13 years. love at first sight can happen for people who believe. don't be a negative Nancy.

You became best friends with him in a day? That's pretty fast! Serious note, good luck. Best I can say is to either tell him how you feel about him now (assertive method), or keep an eye on him/her if they are dating (you didn't specify if he was). If anything goes amiss, do not pass up a chance to intervene.

Hi, I did not say we became best friends in just one day., you misunderstood that. We became friends some time ago. No, right now they aren't dating, but I as he is my friend I will do everything I can to help and support him. I would never wish for them to not work out just for selfish reasons.

I'm pretty sure they were making a joke implying that you were the "love of his life" he met yesterday. They didn't misunderstand you, but instead making a silly joke.

If that's the case I am sorry for not getting the joke. I guess I lost my humor somewhere in this entire situation

Look on the bright side-at least you didn't tell him, only to be shot down by his news, possibly humiliated and heartbroken right there while he is going on about her. I have been in the same situation, and I know how much it hurts. Best wishes to you!

It's a hard choice to do. Stay best friends and don't ruin it, or try and confess and have it go great or awkward. I'm sorry. Perhaps hes infatuated with someone currently. Perhaps it will pass, but stick up for him, because you're still his best friend!

Once upon a time I was probably the guy in a similar story. The "love of my life" is long gone. My best friend and I have been married 30+ years,
