someone told me they did.
i guess you just need to be mature and set it out that the feeling isn't mutual.
it causes a slight "awkwardness" though
been there, done it, wont do it again, it hurts like hell!
My ex told me that when we were best friends. i think i managed to break his heart by telling him i only saw him as a friend. that said we did end up going out a month later, for 18 months.

if you dont wanna risk any hurt or shame its better you get close to that person and when you feel that that person has feelings towards you then that is the best time to tell them.. thats what i do anyway

my best friend said it to me.
i had feelings for him too, but i was in an on-off relationship with my boyfriend.
oh dear, what drama..
why do relationships have to be so complicated?

love isn't exclusive to bf/gf relationships.

Some guy told me they did...and they really meant it...and now...well...that was 1 and a bit years ago...and I liked him the same way - and now we're together and engaged...but there ya go.


I have told a guy that I loved him though, the feeling wasn't mutual and he stopped talking to me...

It's not always good to tell them unless you really really know that they will understand it...unless they're complete bitter chappies.

Judging from me doing that before...

Well...actually I hyperventilated then fell on the floor laughing...

But still...

No. That isn't a good sign.

repped :smile:

back in my college days, a guy in the year above me took me into a little room and basically poured his heart out to me about how he thought i was beautiful and funny and intelligent and how much he loved me etc...

i was stunned....
...and mildy bemused....and mildly amused :smile:....and i stood there silent for what felt like an eternity but must have been about ten seconds and said,

"well....bet it feels good to get that off your chest" and merrily left the room.

HARSH in retrospect but at the time i just didn't know what to say! :frown: bless his lil cotton socks.
Done it once, still haunts me every now and then.

I've said it when I had no idea if she felt the same or not. Sometimes you just owe it her to be honest about the way feel, and owe it to yourself to put yourself on the line.

I managed to avoid awkwardness and heartache because she felt the same, which was lucky. But I'd do it again. Life is too short to waste time wondering and not knowing.


I've only been on the other side of it once, and that was with an ex that I wouldn't take back after what she'd done, so that's not really the same.

I actually did this a few days ago lol. I said he didnt need to say anything in response but he said that he cares about me a lot but hes not ready to say that to me yet. I really respected him for saying that and it hasnt changed anything in our relationship which is really nice! Oh im so happyyyyyy heheheheee....

Me and my friends tell each other that we love each other all the time. Does that count?

I made the mistake of telling a girl that I loved her a couple of years ago (well, OK, I didn't really tell her - I emailed her friend that I loved her and asked if the friend could give me any tips on how to handle the situation...little cow went and forwarded the email on)

I believe her exact words to me were "In your dreams. **** off"
