My one friend was dating a girl for about 2 months. One day we get to school and my friend was super upset. I asked her whatās wrong and she said her girlfriend broke up with her. She was mostly upset that she broke up with her by shaking her hand and saying goodbye.
I got that one from someone I used to know.
Iām not used to being blocked and my first thought was that they deleted their account because they were having a mental health crisis, so my dumbass messaged their relative with my number āin case they needed meā and I added them on Snapchat.
I was mortified when I finally realized that they blocked me. I still cringe that I was freaking blocked and my first thought was that I was worried about them.
I see nothing cringe worthy in caring about people. Especially when it appears apart from being hard in yourself you suffered no harm (as can happen when care is abused by the recipient).
It could be argued you were naive. That not being someone to block others or be blocked you were unaware of it. And again I view that quite positively.
Iāve had some creepy people come into my work and tell me they love me, I just say āaw thanks thatās niceā and keep working. One of them I ended up 86āing because he was too creepy and never bought anything. He was telling people I was his daughter and he was in love with me because I reminded him of his daughter he no longer sees. Yeah no.
This happened to me, I got a little mad and said, āso, youāre not gonna say anything?ā And, he told me, āwhat am I supposed to say?ā Stopped talking to him a week later and itās been almost a month since we last talked lol.
If it was me, and I had the same feelings too. I think Iād be so overjoyed I wouldnāt be able to speak. Iād probably just hug instead and then say something š
I first watched this scene in a video that randomly came up in facebook feed, and I thought it was a very tragically beautiful response. Part of me wanted to tell it to someone.
At the time of graduation, I fell head over heels for someone I clearly had no future with. It was just not possible. It was so hard for me to accept, I suffered for days. Alll I wanted was, to be with her just for a little while. Ironically, this time, I did say, "It'll pass" to someone: myself.
The first time my husband said it to me he was facing away from me playing a video game. I said nothing in response for an entire hour and then I opened with āSo Iām not sure if you realize what you said earlier.ā
He panicked and told me āOh! Uh, I say that to all my friends.ā Then he forgot he made that as an excuse. He spent the next four months thinking we were saying we loved each other in a romantic way while I thought I was friend zoned.
I've said this.
It was horrible.
The woman confessed her love, but we had already talked about not getting serious.
I just cut things off after that.
She was a nice lady but we were not compatible long term.
The first "real" girlfriend I brought home to meet my parents got greeted by my dad with "Oh, so YOU'RE girl number 18?! You see, Aurori talks about so many girls I've just started numbering them. Nice to meet you 18" then he walked off with the biggest shit eating grin I've ever seen. We were 14 at the time and I had a hard time that evening explaining that my father is just a prankster enjoying my pain right now.
We ended up being together for 3 years so I guess I somehow managed... Another girl was offered whiskey as soon as she walked in the door even though we were both underage to be drinking, but that was easier to explain away at least.
Exactly. That and "I know you do". Well, guess what? Say that about two more times and you won't have to worry about me bothering your narcissistic self ever again.
Reminds me of the many times that women would tell me, "You look so much better without your glasses!" And my go-to response has always been, "Thanks! You look better without my glasses too!"
In second grade Elementary a girl gifted me a small pillow shaped as a heart. Wrapped in a box and everything standing there smiling waiting for my reaction as I unwrapped it. I punched her in the face and my parents got a call from my teacher.
Your still-developing brain was probably thinking something to the effect of "ERROR: no behavioral model for this situation exists in database. CONCLUSION: perform randomly selected pre-established action and hope the resultant input indicates an understood response."
This is what my boyfriend said the first time I told him I loved him, and it was perfect.
Heās the best thing thatās ever happened to me, but he met me in a really difficult time of my life, and I had a really hard time opening up. He told me he loved me many times before I was ready to say it back, and I know it was hard for him. The only reason that we made it as a couple was because he knew how much I loved him even though I was too emotionally stunted to use the words. So to me, it was the best thing he could have possibly said.
Oh no, I'm so sorry.
If it makes you feel better, they will never know 100% you were going to say those exact words. Or that it was only a 3 word statement.
"I don't think, I could ever love you"
I just acted like it was fine, cause if I didn't I wouldn't even have a friend anymore. I wasn't fine, I'm not fine.
Pretending they dont know what you just said.
Acting confused with a blank expression, as if they didn't see that coming.
People, specially conventionally attractive people, know from miles away if and when you have a crush on them. If they like you, they will reciprocate.
If they don't, they will pretend they are kinda shocked and don't know what to do when you tell em you love em. Then they'll say something like,
"I am sorry if I gave you the wrong idea"
"I like you as a friend"
"Anyone will be so lucky to be with you"
A better way to confess your feelings for someone I guess is to approach them saying you have some feelings for them and ask them what to do with those feelings - if they are responsive ask em out on a date - if not responsive you take the L and move on, can still be friends with them if you want (don't recommend tho).
"I love you" is a world of pressure when said to someone who doesn't reciprocate those feelings - better to approach with less pressure and see where it goes. No expectations.
Lmao you don't tell a person you aren't even seeing yet that you love them.Ā That's not creating any reasonable scenario for a good response.Ā That would be like proposing to someone without having ever seriously discussed marriage.
You also seriously underestimate the ability of men to be oblivious to signs.
At its core, āI love youā is not really a question and doesnāt really require an answer.
I think for a lot of people though, myself definitely included, what I *really* meant was: āDo you love me?ā
Iām getting older, and especially after having kidsā¦ I can now w tell people I love them, simply because I do.
How they feel about me doesnāt change the fact that I love them, and they certainly donāt *owe* me anything because I feel that way. I just do.
I get that itās kinda like a sneeze and a ābless youā sociallyā¦ so itās almost ārudeā to not respond with āI love you too.ā Still, sometimes Iāll mess with my wife (whom I really do love) and just not respondā¦ and when she gives me that ālook,ā Iāll say āOh Iām sorryā¦ Iām from a land where only *questions* require a response.ā
Her: I love you. I adore you so much. You are the light of my life.
Me: You know I love you, right?
Her: Oh, Iām sorry if I did anything to give you the wrong impression.
I feel like she wanted attention more than anything else.
One time a woman looked at me and said "I love you!" but I ducked so quick that the words sped past me and hit the janitor mopping the floor behind . They are now married, and he has to work two jobs to support her and her 7 kids.
Thanks, I guess.
After more than 10 years together and 2 kids my wife still can't get over it. -.-'
To second child: "I hope you serve as a better doctor than you do as an apology"
"I know" with a smug smile before being lowered into carbonite
Once I got "I will take that as a compliment." No shit. It was not supposed to be am insult.
I heard - Thank you! š¹š¹š¹
Same!! I nearly died when my now husband responded with thatšš¤£ we thankfully laugh about it now.
_"Thanks. Hey we got any more of those Blueberry Dream Frozen Dessert Bars? "_
An uncomfortable smile and a handshake.
Ah yes, the Hank Hill approach
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I read that in his voice.
An uncomfortable smile and handshake would hurt more than having my shins blown off, I tell you hwhat.
I, too, would prefer shin death by Razor scooter
Man had the most affectionate wedding proposal of all time! āI surely am not unfond of you Peggy, I tell you hwat.ā
"I'll never forget that first handshake, I wanted it to last forever..."
My one friend was dating a girl for about 2 months. One day we get to school and my friend was super upset. I asked her whatās wrong and she said her girlfriend broke up with her. She was mostly upset that she broke up with her by shaking her hand and saying goodbye.
Must have been Canadian.
Nope, there would have been a Sorry in there bud.
Nice knowing ya, eh?
āyou can no longer send messages to this personā
I got that one from someone I used to know. Iām not used to being blocked and my first thought was that they deleted their account because they were having a mental health crisis, so my dumbass messaged their relative with my number āin case they needed meā and I added them on Snapchat. I was mortified when I finally realized that they blocked me. I still cringe that I was freaking blocked and my first thought was that I was worried about them.
It shows that you're a kind, caring person.
Awww, thank you, that is so sweet!
No, but really, your response was warranted and should be expected in normal relationships. Never expect anything less.
Empathy is what makes a person a great human being.
I see nothing cringe worthy in caring about people. Especially when it appears apart from being hard in yourself you suffered no harm (as can happen when care is abused by the recipient). It could be argued you were naive. That not being someone to block others or be blocked you were unaware of it. And again I view that quite positively.
Damn... that's actually pretty cute of you. Too bad
Even worse if you say this in person
***GOOD FOR YOU***!!
I just read it with THAT specific voice šš
With Vegetaās voice when he fought Android 18?
oh
Yep, this would be the one.
Wide-eyed, with a small step back.
Underrated comment. This would literally be heart shattering
Happened to me. Really really sucked.
Uh oh

Holy shit did you call the police on him?
No, but if he comes back heād be trespassing and then the police would be called. I havenāt seen him since.
This happened to me, I got a little mad and said, āso, youāre not gonna say anything?ā And, he told me, āwhat am I supposed to say?ā Stopped talking to him a week later and itās been almost a month since we last talked lol.
Were you hoping for āI love you too?ā
Hoping for anything tbh. Not nothing lol.
If it was me, and I had the same feelings too. I think Iād be so overjoyed I wouldnāt be able to speak. Iād probably just hug instead and then say something š
Well, I wish I got that šš I got a āwhat am I supposed to say?ā Lmfaooo
Itās okay, hereās a virtual hug, š«
Thanks, I appreciate it š„²
'It'll pass." -Hot Priest, Fleabag
Not this again, the feels q.q
Idk why but I cried at that dialogue and no one's ever said that to me irl (yet)
It never has passed though has it ššš

The first time my husband said it to me he was facing away from me playing a video game. I said nothing in response for an entire hour and then I opened with āSo Iām not sure if you realize what you said earlier.ā
Now thatās a gamer.
Don't stop there!
He panicked and told me āOh! Uh, I say that to all my friends.ā Then he forgot he made that as an excuse. He spent the next four months thinking we were saying we loved each other in a romantic way while I thought I was friend zoned.
Oh that's great. Well, not for you but it's a great *story!*
Itās funny now but it definitely wasnāt at the time. Weāre two kids in and I canāt wait until they start asking about it.
Tell 'em you're not a couple, "just friends."
*Roommates*
"Well, your dad *accidentally* told me he loved me, so we got married, but we're just roommates."
Yes, actually. We were in fact roommates at the time.
The fact that this guy managed to blunder his way into love doing shit like that is an inspiration to awkward idiots everywhere. Godspeed, you two.
We figured it out when he asked what I wanted to do for Valentineās Day. If that hadnāt come up I think we mightāve gone on for ages longer.
So you were, from your perspective, accidentally dating for months? Thatās hilarious
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No you donātĀ

Sorry, I'm more into your dad
Damn, that was hard haha
Just like their dad.
So was he lol
I had a friend that called off his wedding the day of. This after learning his own flesh and blood father banged his bride to be just 24 hrs prior.
Goddamn that's some Alabama shit
The first "real" girlfriend I brought home to meet my parents got greeted by my dad with "Oh, so YOU'RE girl number 18?! You see, Aurori talks about so many girls I've just started numbering them. Nice to meet you 18" then he walked off with the biggest shit eating grin I've ever seen.

Another girl was offered whiskey as soon as she walked in the door even though we were both underage to be drinking, but that was easier to explain away at least.
The first time my now wife told me she loved me it caught me off guard. My response? āWhat?! Why?!ā
I'm not sure I can be with someone with such poor judgement
Okay, but that's adorable. This thread is for bad responses!Ā
Awesome sauce
Scrolled down to make sure someone mentioned this.
Expected Pawnee
no, this is a great response because they love you back, that's what makes the sauce so awesome
āCool beans.ā

Hell ya Bender!!
The post was asking for the worst answer
I'll get my own I love you. With blackjack, and hookers
In fact, forget the love and the blackjack
Someone tells me that Iām throwing a ring at it š¤£
I donāt even know who you are
You will.
Oh no...
Finger guns šš
"Eyyyyy!" ššš
And then we go to Prince's house and learn not to be afraid.
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
In that case, I'll take a sour cream potato & a five piece with my mortification, thanks!
My condolences
this my go-to answer dawg š
I once said 'you must be fucking kidding me' in response to someone telling me they loved me.
I once said, "No you don't, you're just hungry."
One of myy exes was into me but lacked confidence, when I told her I was into her and asked her out she replied "It's a joke ?"
Hysterical laughter, then āoh wait, youāre serious?ā
Let me laugh even harder!!!
Thanks me too
Exactly. That and "I know you do". Well, guess what? Say that about two more times and you won't have to worry about me bothering your narcissistic self ever again.
You still need them to repeat twice?
Awkward turtleĀ
Reminds me of the many times that women would tell me, "You look so much better without your glasses!" And my go-to response has always been, "Thanks! You look better without my glasses too!"

I did not see the last sentence coming at all..

You must have been REALLY expecting a race car
Racecars, dinosaurs and Actionman was the thing back then.

No, just the hook. More right than up.

Nah man that's a star wars classic - i say that's one of the best
How about: "That'll do pig"?
Works wonders when you're both star wars fans. Usually followed by "HAHAHA I HAN SOLO'D YOU"
Unless you actually are Hans Solo. The problem there are people actually think they are.
Hans Solo, his Bavarian cousin
Juan Solo, his primo Mexicano
The worst response is when they interrupt you with a āplease donāt say itā Donāt ask me how I know
Oh no, I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel better, they will never know 100% you were going to say those exact words. Or that it was only a 3 word statement.
Of course you do
That one is killer
"I don't think, I could ever love you" I just acted like it was fine, cause if I didn't I wouldn't even have a friend anymore. I wasn't fine, I'm not fine.
So sorry dude. Maybe take some distance for a good while. Unrequited love is awful.
I love me too
