I wanted to pursue a romantic relationship with one of my best friends, but could never utter the words out of fear that it would ruin our friendship. I guess I’ll never know.

Yes actually i wanted 2 tell this one guy that i liked him but i thought he wanted 2 be friends which was what happened at first and i told his best friend a secret and he wasnt suppose 2 tell him and the guy i like found out cuz something unexpected happened and i told him what the secret was and i was soooo nervous and turns out the secret was that i liked him so thats how he found out :P

marinelife's avatar

No. I am known for my outspokenness.

Tink's avatar

I once wanted to tell my friend I was in love with him, I didn’t say anything about it for 2 years. Not even when we did go out. So he still doesn’t know

marinelife's avatar

@Tink1113 Are you still going out? Are you glad you did not tell him? Could you tell him now?

Tink's avatar

No we aren’t going out anymore, he was always jelous. No I’m not glad I didn’t tell him, when he told me he loved me I never said it back. I can tell him, I actually want to tell him now but I don’t know how.

marinelife's avatar

@Tink1113 Direct, though hard, is usually the best. “Mike, I never told you this when we were dating and you said you love me, but I loved you too.” (Or present tense if you want to get something going again.)

Just remember to think through how you feel if he no longer feels that way.

Tink's avatar

@Marina Thanks, I still sort of love him in a way. We broke up just a couple of weeks ago and haven’t really talked since

There are many things I want to say to people, including some Flutherites, but I refrain from saying them not because I am afraid or embarrassed, but because the ensuing drama will suck all the satisfaction out of saying whatever it was in the first place.

If I ever give a going-away party like Bilbo Baggins, though, look out.

janbb's avatar

@cwilbur That sure piques my curiosity. Can we have the party? Can we? Can we?

musicman997's avatar

Yes. There are many things I would like to say to many girls, but I havnt. I have a girlfriend. Im sure a lot of guys can relate.

About to leave a job where people are rather bitchy behind each others backs, and seriously tempted to tell everyone what each other thinks of one another before I go, my only worry is I don’t like upsetting people and I am live and let live kind of person do I really want to rock the boat??

irocktheworld's avatar

@Tink1113 That must have been hard keeping it a secret that you liked the guy,for 2 years!!i know it would drive me crazy :P

Tink's avatar

@irocktheworld I know, it still is hard!!

irocktheworld's avatar

@Tink1113 Was he the guy that dumped you for double lookin another guy? :O

irocktheworld's avatar

@Tink1113 Omigosh! And you still love him?

Tink's avatar

@irocktheworld A little, maybe

irocktheworld's avatar

@Tink1113 Awww!!! Thats sooo sweet :P
Wait, are you over your breakup?

Blondesjon's avatar

Every single day. I find myself building it up in my head until I am so anxious about it all I can do is fret. Once the anxiety reaches a point where I can no longer stand it, I force myself to take a deep breath and do what I should have done in the first place.

I face it head on and can’t believe how much I worried about it in the first place.

irocktheworld's avatar

@Tink1113 And you still love him? Woah..

Tink's avatar

@irocktheworld Not love love but yeah I do :(

cyn's avatar

@Tink1113 explain that love…
wait he’s gay?

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs Its hard to explain it, no he’s definetly not gay

cyn's avatar

@Tink1113
oh i’m so sorry…
I think I would tell him…get it out of my chest!
just tell him…“I love you”
simple and honest…

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs Ah, I wish it was that easy.

cyn's avatar

well…you still haven’t tried saying it to him…

Tink's avatar

I know, but still. I’m not sure if I should, it’s over already

cyn's avatar

@Tink1113 okay. I understand.
I had this crush on this guy for over five years. Since fourth grade. Well, one day, I was sitting down on the bleachers, with my friends, watching a soccer game and he was sitting next to us with a girl. I over-heard his friends saying that he likes her and that he was going to ask her out…. but since i’m quite not the jealous type , I really just kept moving forward. I never told him anything. 1 week after that, a guy-friend of mine saw me at the movies…he saw me from 100 yrds away. He came to say “hi” to me and grabbed my arms and eventually took me out of the grouup of friends I was hanging out with. Later that night while I was watching the movie I couldn’t stop myself from thinking about him. I have the huge crush on him for like about 6 months now! :) He told me he loved me with those hand-signs , but I didn’t know what it meant…I was stupid! but lucky me… I saw him at the Harry Potter midnight movie. He asked me how I was and his brother kept on looking at my direction. When we went in the room. He was sitting two seats in front of me. It was the time of my life! but I still don’t know if he likes me…
btw Inever told him that I love him…when he was doing those I-Love-you-Hand-Signs.

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs So you liked that guy-friend or the other dude you were talking about?
Those hand signs are cool though :)
Well it is hard to just go up and ask someone if they like you, it takes alot of courage to do it so I know how you feel…

cyn's avatar

@Tink1113 I’m over the other dude. I love the guy-friend. :)
I usually can get over a guy once I know he’s not into me.
He has a lot of courage… :)
I also know that you’ll find yours truly.. but no need to rush…we’re still young, and life keeps moving on…we have to learn from it and move on…
:)

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs Awww :)
Thanks, jeez being a teen with hormones sucksss :P

cyn's avatar

@Tink1113 I must be the strangest teen ever…I usually don’t get my hormones running happy at all. A guy really needs to impress me to do so…but only 5 guys in my whole 16..almost 17 years have done so,,,,,

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs Its happend to me 4 times in my 14 years, mines don’t get “happy”all the time, just ocasionally. When I see them with those “special features” hehe

cyn's avatar

@Tink1113 describe special features….

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs Alright, I love brown eyes, brown curly hair, thats my weakness

cyn's avatar

tom welling
ashton kutcher
gaspard ulliel
robert

I usually like guys with sideburns and light-brown hair….buff.. and extremely intelligent and sense of humor…honest…and are “bad-boys”....“pot-heads”

Tink's avatar

Omg Rob!! Hehe

I like smart, sweet, honest, funny, non-smoker, non-drinker (ok I don’t really mind, just not an alcoholic please), I don’t really care for a super buff one, maybe a baby face, dimples, etc.

YARNLADY's avatar

Yes, there are few choice words I would like to say to a certain someone, but I’m too much of a lady.

Tink's avatar

@YARNLADY :) the name says it all :)

cyn's avatar

@cyndihugs I don’t like alcoholics either!

Tink's avatar

@cyndihugs I just don’t like them smoking
Well of course I do :)

irocktheworld's avatar

@Tink1113 and @cyndihugs You guys are right!! :P
Twilight rocks!!! <3

I wanted to ask a question on Fluther about farting but was too embarrassed to ask…and the threshold of intimacy has well and truly been passed now…so there’s no chance I will! :-)
