Do you lose interest when someone confesses their feelings to you?

[Inlovewith1402]

The question states it all. If someone told you they like you, how would you feel?
Would you say it back even if it's not true but you wouldn't want to hurt the person?

Ugh, I feel the need to tell this short story just for the small chance it might help someone not break a girls/guys heart. New girl in class. Very cute in my opinion. I initiated a conversation with her and we started talking. It all escalated very quickly after that. I started noticing my usual happiness quickly deteriorating listening to her problems about her abusive father, anorexia, depression and such. When she later confessed her feelings to me. It all just died. What was wrong? I loved her? Right? Not at all. I was just me feeling bad for her. I couldn't separate the feelings and I fucked up. I had been leading her on. Her. Ugh, I still feel bad about rejecting her. We're still friends and all but I still feel awful about it. Learn from my mistakes. It wasn't 100% answering the question but... there you have that.

Well not necessarily. If the girl is amazing and I like her too, that's just the beginning of a relationship. However if I'm not attracted to I never had any interest and that just makes things awkward. Some girl I'm not attracted to started texting me the other day and confessed she's still a virgin, I am assuming she was trying to get me to take it from her... I was never attracted to her so I had to play it off as nicely as I could... Totally awkward.

It depends on who is saying it. If I like the guy then obviously I would be happy about it. If it is someone who I am not attracted to then I would still be flattered and handle the situation in a kind manner. I would never say that I like the person back if I do not mean it. I like to be blunt with people so I won't their time.

I seem to have this problem. The second someone shows interest in me, I lose interest in them. And I straight up tell them.

If a chick told me she likes me I'd be flattered. Nah I wouldn't lead the girl on. If I'm not into her then I'm not into her, but given how open I am that's a tall task for me to not be into her. If she's somewhat decent then it's a go. I mean at least friendship wise. Though I guess how well we connect would determine if it stays that way.

always keep it real! whats the point in saying i like you too, if i actually dont, just to not hurt your feelings, wich would hurt your feelings even more in the future for giving you false hopes?

When I was a kid, I used to think that one day the sky would fall on us and we would all die.

Cool!

[Red_Dragon]

LOL!! WTF?

[DoraLikesSugar]

Yes. What's the point of being in a relationship if you have feelings for each other?
