I’m curious how people choose to do these things. Not bc I want to did it but bc I want to know 😊
Try to remember accurately.
thanks!!

I think I hinted at it more than a month ago. I made it completely clear less than two weeks ago.
We were in the car and she was driving. She was playing some music. When one song came on she said it was her favorite song. I didn't know her language, so I asked what it was about. It was a fairly typical love song, about love and heartbreak. I asked if she had been heartbroken. She had, and talked about that time and a previous time.
We were on the topic so I told her I'd be heartbroken when she leaves. Her visa is expiring soon and she will be forced to leave. There is a (probably small) chance she will come back, maybe even fairly soon. Currently it can't go anywhere - it just can't. I let her know I'd like to get serious if she does come back.
I'm a realist so I'm not counting on it. I guess that's a difference at my age. When I was young I'd let my feelings and emotions rule me. Now my brain still works and can over rule feelings. I know it's highly unlikely to go anywhere, so it's been suppressed from the start.
She has responded. I think her feelings have grown. But we both know there is no choice in her leaving. We need to have a good long talk before she leaves. Once she goes back to her country everything will change. I'd much rather get everything talked about in person. I just don't like messaging for important stuff.
Hey Adriane (not real name), I slightly like you. The question is, do you?
*Her blank face*
Me-You don't know me, do you?
Her-No. And I am sorry, but I do not.
Me-*happy for her honesty and the way she said it* thank you!! I appreciate your honesty. Bye!!
*Ticks off the sort of confession from a mental list and carries on the work for the day. Unaware that the next day would be one of the worst ones for both of us, but due to her talking about it to everyone.*
I think that is the last time I have made myself vulnerable and open to anyone in that sense. Never after that. Sense as in, romantically or more than just friends kind of...
This was just four years ago. So yup, I have some time.👍
There's this guy who works in a mini super market it has four isles and three tills. And I've seen him before and thought he was pretty cute and one day we had a really flirty convo, he tole me he had a girlfriend and there's the boundary. But I developed a pretty hard crush on him and would occasionally stutter and I kept being super clumsy around him like I'd grab something and then drop it, or knock something over - the worst one I accidentally knocked over this tray of tomatoes. I admitted to him that I don't know why I keep being a super klutz around him and was probably blushing every time I saw him too. Nowadays it's been a year and while I still like him, the crush has pretty much died down, thank god as that was embarrassing lol
"Let's stay friends and see where things go."
We remained friends for about 4-6 months, until I realized I was starting to like him way more than he liked me, so I got rid of him.
Pretty much every guy I've liked friendzoned me, so was I surprised? No, not at all. Just disappointed.
Originally he was pursuing me, showed interest, and acted as if he wanted a relationship-
Yet when I returned the interest and asked him out? Suddenly he just wanted to stay friends 🤦♀️
It's like he only wanted the chase

i told her that i really thought she was gorgeous and wanted to take her out on a date. she gave me her number and said she was down. I texted her trying to figure out what day worked best to go out that’s and then she didn’t respond. a few days later on the weekend when i was out of town she texted me back saying she was sorry and was really busy and still wanted to go out. i said it fine and said lmk your schedule this week so week can plan something and haven’t heard back from her. it’s been a week now lol. Chop it up as a L and move on.
It was my current partner, and we met online. So I knew I loved her before we actually met in person, but I kept myself from telling her because she was planning to come visit and I wanted to be holding her and looking in her eyes when I did it.
I'm not sure that's what you're looking for, maybe you are wanting a story more like when someone has a crush on someone else? For that, I had a couple women at work I thought were cute and fun to talk to, so I didn't really "confess" so much as just got their numbers or offered to go out with them sometime.
I just said, "I love you." and I told her that I had known for a while that I loved her but that I was waiting until she was in my arms to tell her. We have a really great communication and are very honest with each other, I love it, to me it is essential for intimacy. Especially when things aren't easy to say or approach, it always makes us closer. For example one thing is we are in an open relationship and we've had a lot of conversations about how we feel, the ideas about dating other people, sex with other people, &c. and it's brought up a lot of feelings some of which are "negative". But the more we talk, the more we understand each other, the closer we get, and the more we trust each other and those negative feelings get resolved because they were addressed and worked through.
I also see this as a concept that translates well to other aspects of life:
physically, when we challenge ourselves, we get stronger (like weightlifting or practicing gymnastics or some other sport)
Mentally, as above (learning and practicing math, critical thinking, &c.)
and so on.
One of my personal mottos is "Strength Through Adversity"
I don’t think I’ve ever confessed my feeling to someone…. Wait The last time I confessed my feelings was middle school and thats trama we are not counting lol
As adult It’s either I know for sure they never liked me back or during the “talking stage they never last long for me to think I love them like that
But I have a delulu mind on my favorite idols but my competition is 1 million+ people that love them as well lol
If I ever confessed I’ll do in the cutest way hopefully they will do the same for me haha
I asked her "what would you say to going out with me sometime". I think it was pretty clear what I was asking by her response she clearly understood what I was asking and really liked me asking her out. She even said yes, of course she didn't want to and eventually backed out.
I thought that was incredibly weird. She enjoyed being asked out, she just didn't enjoy the thought of going out with me.
That spelled the beginning of the end of our dealings with eachother. Not because I couldn't deal with the fact that she didn't want to go out with me. But because she couldn't be straight with me. All I ask for is honesty in anyone I know. She couldn't do that. Not just that time, but anytime afterwards. There's more to it than that but I won't bore you.
And this my friend, is why I typically don't ask women out. 🙂
I totally understand how you feel. That sucks I wish people would just be straight. But good on you for bring straight up 😊
Something along the lines of telling her in a letter straight up that I had a crush, but that I knew her family up north needed her more, and I would respect their needs and her wishes. But that she'd be a tough act for another girl to follow, so I'd miss her knowing what I had to give up. I made her a flash drive with some of my best cooking recipes and Sims mods on it, so she could take a piece of me with her everywhere.
Not my story but a friend of mine is a state prosecutor. When he first started as a ADA, he was assigned an aggravated assult case. An elderly woman was beaten and robbed and her daughter was heavily involved in the case as she was a witness. He and this woman's daughter spent a lot of time together preparing for the case. When all was said and done, he got a conviction. He got a call from the daughter thanking him for his hard work. He couldn't get her off his mind, so two days later he called her and said he had grown very fond of her. She was quite for a few seconds, then said, "really? I've actually fallen in love with you". 6 months later, they were married. I always liked that story! They're two of the most amazing people I know.
After a couple dates I told her I was very attracted to her, admired her a lot, and didn’t want to date anyone else. I said I wanted to see how our relationship would grow. She felt the same way. Not many days after that I told her I loved her.
We were friends, but began hanging out a lot, and one day we were just sitting around doing nothing and I said to him, there is no way to make this "unawkward" if I'm wrong about this, but I think we like each other. Am I wrong? If I am, I'm so sorry and will try to forget everything I'm saying right now. I swear it was like time itself stopped waiting for him to answer, but luckily things were in my favor and we dated for like 2 years.
Not well, lol. I'm an INFP personality, and I'm shy, and me confessing my feelings is like trying to get a snail to beat a car in a race!
There was this girl that I talked to all the time, she worked at this coffee shop, and I started to like her because I thought she was really cool, honest, and really friendly. I told her I thought she was a really coo person and told her I had a little crush on her.
She got really weird and looked at me like I was the freak that lived at the end of the street that yells at the kids on Halloween. After that, every time I would go in there, if she was working, I could hear her telling other employees that I'm a weirdo and a psycho. When I told her I liked her, I said very little to her in the first place.
Since then, I have never confessed anything to anyone ever again. I'm guessing there's something wrong with me other people can see that I can't.
there's this guy who probably thought i don't like him but i actually feel attracted to him. and the thing about me is i do not lie nor use. he is not my soulmate thoygh so compatibility is a big wuestion mark but yeah if i am rich and "goof enough" i will absolutely date him
It started like this: my now boyfriend but he was my best friend at the time texted me one-night last year and asked if he could tell me a secret and I said sure and he said that he had a crush on me when we were younger and I said that I did too and then he said that if he knew I felt the same way he would've told me sooner and then he said that he still likes me and I said that I like him too and then he said that if he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes and we've been together for a little over a year now
I don't recall "confessing" my feelings to anyone. We just had mutual attraction.
I said lots of nice things to girlfriends but they weren't confessions.
My relationships began by asking them if they wanted to go our sometime or by asking them if they wanted to someplace or do something specific, like to a park, botanical garden, carnival, county fair, or out to dinner. I didn't have to confess any feelings because asking them out meant that I liked them. In most cases, I already knew that they had a crush on me.
We usually wound up kissing on those first dates, and sometimes they initiated it. They at least sent very clear signals. So there was no need to lure them with words.
I never used "I love you", "You are so special to me", anything sappy to gain their attraction.
Oh I doubt asking out. It’d be my go to as well. I like it bc if they feel nothing, they’ll say no case closed. And if they feel something (and they don’t play games), they’ll say yes, then if things evolve great, if not, case closed 🤷🏻♀️ 🤷🏻♀️ I like it simple. But I’m fascinated by how people handle this stuff.
There were a few botanical gardens in the Los Angeles area when I lived there. No mazes.
One of my favorite places was the Huntington Library. It was a botanical garden but much, much more.

Ooof. Well, we ended up dating for over a year.
I had known her forever and we were starting to hang out a lot more often. When I realized I like her I kinda just snuck the notion into casual conversation.
Forgot exactly what we were talking about but it was about a female celebrity or someone. I used the line "yeah she's really beautiful. Kinda like you". Corny as hell I know but it worked. We got together like 2 weeks later.
Well I confessed my feelings to the guy I'm talking to now very carefully. I didn't want him freaking out but luckily he told me he wanted me to be true to my feelings and was happy I was opening up to him.
Well, with my first girlfriend, I just told her that I loved her, but sadly she broke off our engagement well it was for the best. That happened a little after I told her.
I pulled a Mr. darcy and bluntly told my best female friend, "I love you". It didn't work out and it hurt like hell losing her friendship, but im glad I told her. I feel more self authentic
i said hey girl. we like each other but you get sick too much for me and i fear we'll never meet
if only i were that close vivant...
I confess my love everyday
I never let a day go by with kissing or saying I love you
Plus I spoil the crap out of her
Hey, you hungry? I'll make you dinner tonight. Just the two of us.
I said that we belonged together. She said that we did have a lot of things in common.
I was planning on moving to Colorado maybe forever. I was going out there with another kid. I even helped him fix up his car so it would make the trip. I had impacted wisdom teeth and I wanted to get them out before I left. I had them removed in the hospital and it took a few days before the swelling went down. I called this kid to tell him I was good to go. His mother told me he left without me. I was angry but I was still in town to go to my family's vacation home on Memorial Day. I was cleaning up the yard when a group of 8 or 9 people walk by. My friend was with me and he started talking to them. I just kept working until I noticed a girl wearing cutoff jean shorts and worn out old sneakers. She had the prettiest smile I ever saw. I tried to talk to her but she totally shut me down. Later I went down to the beach and tried again and this time she told me that she just graduated from college and she lived near where I lived. She would not tell me her name because she didn't want anything to do with me. I ended up going to her college library and getting her yearbook. I went through the whole thing until I spotted her picture with that same smile. I got her name and was able to look her up in the phonebook (this was the 80's). She asked me how I tracked her down and I told her. She was actually impressed that I went through all that trouble. I asked her if she would go out with me and she said that she was starting a new job out of state and was leaving the next day. I chalked it up to my crappy luck and forgot about it. A month or so later I ran into her again at the beach and we spent a lot of time together and decided we would try to date each other. A year and a half later we got married.
i shouldn't have said shit, i felt like i lost some dignity that day 😂
yep thats not happening 😂
@mementomori777 plzzzz
your puppy eyes won't work on me crumble 😂
👁️👃👁️
👄
that looks scary scrumble 😂
Scrumble 🤣
thats mybad 😆
I wrote him a letter. I talked about how we met, what did I think of him, I complimented his looks and I said that I admired him.
Then he took about two months to give me answer. That answer came on Christmas Day at midnight. I was so anxious, so that was the best Christmas gift that I got that year. I knew that he didn't feel the same way, but I didn't want to have regrets. So took a risk. Now, I don't regret it but I wouldn't do it again.
"Why lie to me about her texting you if she is "just" a friend? I will never be able to trust you. We are done and don't ever try contacting me again "
I swear I'm humming that song right now.. 🎶 And you say he's just a friend 🤦🏼♀️
Well, I’ve been burned a lot, so I don’t confess it anymore. 🤷🏽♀️
I told her straight away I love you, I always had. What do you say?
And she said, "sorry I am not interested
Most recently I told my brother I love you. He's such a good guy and he looks out for me😊
i got rejected. but i've rejected before so its all good.
please dont yell at me.
I am a bit shy deep down and don’t easily open up emotionally or physically.
I’ve never confessed my feelings to anyone.
I did reciprocate though. Why would I have feelings if they don’t have feelings for me?
My now ex-girlfriend about 9 years ago
After she'd finished with her head on my hip, my fingers toying with a lock of her hair and just kinda said we should go out sometime because she was great, I think she expected me to be a bit of a one time pump and dump
I said: ‘niccaa, I love you and that why I’m willing to try (insert xrated act here) one time and one time only.’
Then I never went through with it. 🤣
I wrote a poem on a piece of paper and gave it to him. He reacted positively and we went out on a few dates, talked about our expectations, boundaries etc things. We're in a relationship now.
sorry i fuckup big time I crashed the car and I got to get ins
Not sure lol. I think I said "I like you.". Or something like that.
It was "you know you make me smile?"
Never confessed someone cause never liked someone... but got a confession through a love song it was really sweet
This is a ridiculous question. I tell me wife and kids I love them at least once a day.
Well, it started with "forgive me Farher, for I have sinned" ...
I told her I think she's annoying and we're not a good fit
But I like you
I told a boy that and then he sort of accepted my confession but then I found out he smokes which is disgusting
"I really like you. You make me happy."
Basically that she only likes me as a really close friend, and she thinks there's no romantic attraction because of my looks
I don’t remember it being a confession. I just waited for him to say it first.
"My dick don't get much harder than this".
It was a long time ago and i don't remember what i said but all i know is that i was honest and said everything that needs to be said 😌
I said “I want to be your girlfriend”
After the 3rd time
Because he said no the first 2 times lol
Because I liked him. I knew he liked me and he would break if I just kept asking lol
Because we hadn’t yet met at the time! We met each other online.
her reaction : 😍
her husband reaction : 😤😠
they were my new neighbors and the husband looked looked much older like her father, i asked is she was engaged and that i would like to ask for her hand
i regret nothing
but they dont propose to the wife 😏
well i live in a different one, a bit more straightforward
he told me we can share it 🤗 bc sharing is caring, so i m gonna take it Monday to Wednesday, the husband Thursday to Saturday, Sunday rest and maintenance 😏
srsly he got angry and sweared at me 🙂🤧
he broke my little hope in love at first sight *cue adele song we could had it all*
i even our children names 🤧
choose the names
too late for that
I told her "Girl I love you have faith in me and no one will take your place".
Your eyes and smile what makes my days and every single day 🥰
I was like " Wanna go out?" then i didn't get rejected but it didn't go well in the date.
