I love you... Oh wait that was a joke...

I've just rang a best friend lad as a dare from my other friends... (i'm a girl - 17 and my best lad friend is 19).

I told him 'I love you!' and he took it seriously going on about how long he'd liked me, he kept going on about the flirting hints he had been giving me... and told me he wants to see me tommorrow cos he's going to uni soon but thinks the relationship can be long since weve been friends for years......

I'm not attracted to him at all and I never knew he was. I was hoping he was gonna joke... but it didn't work that way.

Oh yeah :rolleyes: and my friends knew he'd fancied me...

WHAT CAN I DO!? :eek:

kill your friends sounds like a good start...




...not being such a stupid bitch and being so insensitive as to peoples emotions would be a good place to continue too.

Dude, that's just harsh! Why would you do that, even for a joke?! Hmms, well, anyway, you could try to say you meant 'I love you' as a friend, but depending on what you said in the rest of the conversation, that may not work. Or just say you're going to uni and don't want anything to happen because of practicalities etc, or because you're friends it wouldn't work out.

That was a very silly thing to do.

"I was only joking!!"

Hes only gonna get upset

:eek: but me and this guy always joked about and stuff.. I didn't think he react like this. i know I've been a bitch and i won't do it again... I feel awful for doing it especially when my friends knew... I can't believe that though! :frown:
Hmm, biker seems like a nice guy :rolleyes: Hmm I think tomorrow just talk to him and explain it was meant as a joke but you're very touched by his feelings and you would like to remain close friends...tell him you're friends put you up to it and you would never have done it had you known (which im assuming would be true) and i don't know, see how he takes it, it's not fair to lead him on which you probably know and it's only fair to tell him the truth otherwise you're sending him barking totally up the wrong tree. Good luck with everything xxx

yea...it was very unfair of your friends to get you to do that considering what they knew...but you should still have thought yourself that doing such a thing could have drastic consequences - you may have joked about stuff before but the emotional weight placed on telling someone you love them is enormous, and, in my opinion, should never be joked about - you would honestly be fortunate if he wants to talk to you again - I know I wouldn't.

I'll have you know I'm lovely - there are just some things I've experienced which I would not like to place upon others, this being a sterling example of them.
theres nothing you can do, youre gonna hurt him no matter what you do now, good going ace

I'd say the least you can do now is have sex with him.


:rolleyes:

Pretty horrid thing to do wasnt it? Get a good laugh out of it? Just face up to being a total arse and apologise and hope he doesnt kill you or something. :smile:
You should have realised this was a pretty wanky thing to do, but hey at least you got an ego boost :wink:
Did you record the conversation so we can all have a listen?

It was funny! but towards the end of the convo... it got worse...

It was like ' I love you!'

he was like ' oh.. honestly'

'Yeah, I love you! I love you!!'

' Oh my god, seriously'

'Yeah, i've always loved you!'

'in that way?...'

'Yeah I love you.....' ...etc

I wouldn't dare carry on as he kept telling about how he liked me.. :redface: :frown:

Don't worry, we all make mistakes. :smile:

On the plus side hes probably gained some really valuable life experience from this. Hopefully hes learnt to be a bit more wary of situations. Well done :suith:
So not only did you tell him you loved him but you led him on?
Sounds like one hilarious joke, no wonder people say girls aren't funny....
If you think it was funny still, I don't think you've quite realised what you could've done.

You need to let him know soon. He might not like you very much after, but he needs to go to uni not clinging onto hope.
