Today, I hooked up with a friend. I expressed an interest in it becoming something more. He expressed an interest in not telling anyone and pretending it never happened. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I told my close friend that I have a thing for him. His reaction? "Oh, fuck." FML
Today, a friend told me he thought I was hot and we ended up having lunch together. I like him and we’ve already arranged a second date, but when I mentioned this to someone else, she got pretty upset. Turns out she liked me and had been dropping hints for a while. No clue what’ll happen to my friendship with her… FML
Today, my online friend confessed his feelings towards me but I just played it down, and made a joke, then acted like nothing happened. Mind you, I actually like him back but I'm afraid of how far away we are from each other. 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
Today, my boyfriend introduced me as a friend to one of his friends. FML
Today, I was having a good talk with a coworker and I was excited that I've made my first friend at work. After sharing some stories and some laughs he asked if I had a boyfriend. I said I do. He asked if I was always faithful, I said I was. He then walked away. FML
Today, I introduced myself as a sex addict, as a joke, to break the ice while meeting new people. One of my friends took me seriously and said he was a porn addict. He told me how happy he was that he had found someone else who had the same feelings and was so happy he could confide in me. FML
Today, I made a new friend at my college campus, which was great, until I added him on Facebook and he started liking posts from 3 years ago, asking if he could be my "dirty little secret" because he knows that I have a boyfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his friends as his "sex partner." FML

Sucks. But you got your answer.

That really sucks, but if this was a legitimate mistake on his part you should probably let it go

What mistake? They hooked up and then OP changed the plan and wanted more. Yeah it sucks that he didn't, but I don't see how he made a mistake. Unless you're saying the mistake is sleeping with OP, which is a rather nasty thing to say.

When someone says they want to pretend the event that just occurred never happened and have no interest in telling anyone, they consider what just happened a mistake. This is exactly what the friend told OP, so yes, he considers sleeping with her a mistake. It is a nasty things to say, and it probably hurts to hear, but that's how he feels.

Or they simply consider it a bunch of harmless fun but don't want mutual friends to hear about it and constantly make jokes.

What I meant by mistake was more along the lines of him being drunk or something
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
I know what you mean but although things suck for the OP it's not like he used her or was dishonest in any way. That's why I'm not fond of saying this was his mistake. Yeah he says he'd like to pretend it didn't happen but that's after OP said she'd like it to be more. It could just be a clumsy way to try to revert to being just friends.

That's rarely ever a good idea but it definitely seems so at the time. hope you can get this figured out OP. And for what it's worth, it's only awkward if you two let it be awkward.

Least you know how he feels now. Still sucks tho op, sorry

I'm sorry OP. It's a shitty thing to find out and there's really not anything I could say to make you feel better. However I can tell you that you'll get over this, and you'll find someone who has equal feelings for you as you do to them

The riskiest thing about hooking up with friends. The potential to make or break the friendship. Best of luck, OP.

so now you know he's not it. an please OP, please whatever you do, don't let him use you for sex or that -friends with benefits, but don't let anyone know- shit! for the sake of all of us truly loving women, fight the desire of being with that heartless guy and start loving and respecting yourself more!!

So when a dude is not interested in a serious relationship, he's heartless? And when a woman does decide she's ok with a friends-with-benefits-type of thing, that means she's not loving and respecting herself enough? I mean, don't get me wrong, I do think that in this case it would probably be a bad idea, as OP has feelings for the guy, but your well-meant advise sounds awfully judgemental.

Maybe 7 is the one who needs to love and respect herself more.

You should have probably told them that BEFORE sleeping with them, but that would be too logical I guess.
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
Unless of course she only started wanting more after sleeping with him. As happens really often.
alex_gen 39
Shouldn't you have asked him that before sleeping with him? He probably sees you as easy now, and any hopes of a relationship is out the window.

I don't think beginning any relationship with sex will lead you anywhere you want to be.. Until you know someone's darkest secrets and carry them as your own will you truly have what you seek and that is Something that isn't immune to being materialistic and also knowing no one is perfect is a good place to start forgiveness is the only way to true happiness
