Have you ever regretted not telling your crush how you felt?

[Anonymous]

What do you wish you would have done differently? Would you have told them straight up? Flirted more?

Yes

No

There have been times, sure. But its kind of cheating, its only the ones that I later found out liked me too. There are plenty more that I'm glad I kept it to myself. Honestly, if two people like each other, it usually makes itself apparent early on and it just happens. Like almost every girl i dated, there was no weird awkward period, we pretty much knew the day we were introduced that it was going to happen. It may have taken a few days or weeks to get going, but it was just a feeling out period for us to make sure the other one wasn't a weirdo, haha. The exception would be someone your age, people are still apprehensive about flirting and making moves and all. But the good news is, the amount of stuff from high school that actually matters AFTER high school is less than 1%, so don't sweat it too much! Its all part of growing up.

Should I tell the guy I like I have a crush on him? Or is it pointless since it's just high school?

[WhiteSteve]

Well... feel it out. Its tough to say without knowing you and your crush and the signs that he may or may not be into you. The unfortunate news is that most people are not a match. Just is what it is. Rejection happens, and you just have to learn to take it in stride when it happens. Never get too hung up on one person. You die a thousand deaths in the dating game, haha. Are you guys friends already or is it just someone you see around?

Someone in my classes

[WhiteSteve]

Gotcha. Honestly, I'd just start slow and try to strike up a friendship first and see where it leads :)

[delrey]

Yes! I've been kicking myself ever since I was just too inexperienced, she liked me but I never told her how I felt because I was too inexperienced and shy, I'm not shy anymore and if I had another chance I would tell her how I felt but she's not in my life anymore hasn't been in many years, now I'm just a lonely 21 year old trying to drink the pain away.

[delrey]

Thanks for MH.

I have never told him, I think he maybe liked me too now that I can think clearly about all the things that happened, but I kept avoiding to show my feelings. He is married now, so I think it was for the best not to tell him ever that I was in crushed with him.

I kind of like someone else now, but I don't know how to tell him, I don't want to miss out on the chance we might be something more.

Actually, this is sort-of a rare case, but...
I actually regretted admitting to my crushes that I liked them growing up.
Guys were very mean to me whenever I said I liked them.
They would start bullying me, calling me ugly and fat and such.
So I actually regretted admitting it.
I'm very hesitant to tell guys if i like them now.

[Asker]

I wish i could do that! I'm so scared of rejection. At least you're brave enough to tell them.

[Asker]

They must not be very good friends if they make fun of you after you tell them you like them...

[findingdreamland]

Unless they were taken, i always said my feelings. I do not have regrets about it. BUT if they were in the relationship, i respected. I never got into their ways, anyways. That is the thing; should be done.

[Asker]

I wish I had that confidence! I am scared of rejection being in high school and all.

[findingdreamland]

That is ok. You will have it as time goes on :)

[Alessus]

That's never happened to me before, because I happen to be a straightforward guy and if I get a crush on someone, I'll try and tell them about it as fast as possible.

[Asker]

That's awesome! I wish I had your confidence :)

[Alessus]

The way I see it, if she likes me back, then that's awesome and we'll probably get together. If she doesn't, then I can move on from that. Doing nothing is the worst thing, in my opinion, because it's a very infirm and confusing state. Better get it out there and take the return, than do nothing.

[Nuns_in_Heat]

Yes. I regret not telling all the probably around six girls I liked growing up. I was just too shy growing up. If I could change anything I wish I would have just came out of my shell and told them straight up how I felt.

[harakiri]

No. If you know the person is into someone else, I don't see the point in making a useless statement.

[Asker]

Or if they're dating someone else.

[Anonymous]

If I could have done it differently, I would have. There was a hell of an opportunity that I passed up just one month ago with a girl I'd gone out with three times. And had plans for another outing and as of right now, the only thing I'm getting is the silent treatment. It's bullshit.

[Forsini48]

I regret telling my crush. It ruined our friendship.

[Anonymous]

Yes no doubt, had I done so I would have had a number of girl friends (as they liked me), but I was far to shy so I still have not had a relationship at 23 --- EPIC FAIL

[TheNewClassic]

I wish I would have showed more interest and was more brave but instead I was like a fucking dead fish and ignored him and hid my feelings, ughhh...

[life101x]

lots of times. i am too shy and dont have much social skills.

[Anonymous]

I wish I did try to tell my crush how I feel, I'm just a little shy and assuming that he likes me too that he will make the first move.

[DragonWolf]

Yeah, i wish i told him when i could...

[Asker]

What would you have done differently?

[DragonWolf]

I would just tell him that i love him, ask him to be my boyfriend, make sure he will never leave me =) thats what i shouldve done...

[MixedTwit]

I really regret it...

[Asker]

What would you have done differentlyv

[Asker]

*Differently?

[MixedTwit]

I would have told them how I felt, no matter how much I hate sharing my feelings, it could have saved part of my relationship. If you don't say if b4 it's to late then you lose your chance for ever. No matter how scared you are you have to do it..

[Anonymous]

Yes I do! I'm still struggling with it.
