Stupid Me!

LegacyUser

Hey folks gona go unregistered for this! I shall get straight to it. Got a txt from one of my friends last night and this is what it said:

"I need to ask you something and I want you to be totally honest with me. It might be awkward between us after this but I have to know how you feel. I have kept it in for a while now but I think its finally time I be straight up and just confront you...I hope this doesn't ruin the relationship we already have. I just need to know and I don't see any other way I could get over this. Just doesn't seem fair on me if I don't get an answer. I want you to tell me truthfully, no matter how harsh it is, I just want you honest opinion, would you choose meanies over skips??"

Now, this person is a girl and as you know yesterday was April Fool's day, and I got this message straight after Robbie Keane got the goal, so I kinda glanced down through it, as I was fixed on the game. Never realized until after I read the txt again, that it was a joke, but I took it as been meaningful because 2 of my friends said to me one night not too long ago that she liked me, so I took the message as her asking me if I felt the same way about her. Well I did txt back when I first read the message and you know, I said something along the lines of, yeah I really do like you. Unfortunately, I ran out of credit and she never txt back. I felt like such a twat as I am A shy enough guy when it comes to expressing my feelings for someone.

The thing is, I put myself in a hole I cant get out of, and I don't have a clue what to say to her. Any ideas would be really appreciated. Its been on my mind all day, and I just cant get to sleep with it. Oh I am such an idiot lol

P.S Sorry for the length

she now knows you like here, you have nothing to be ashamed off. At least you told her instead of keeping it to yourself.

When you say you said "something along the lines of" yeah i really do like you... you may need to be more specific... ie. Did you pour out every ounce of feeling and thoughts for her or was it a straight reply of "Yeah i like you"...

Sorry im failing to see how you could feel strongly for this person and not take the time to read/reread the text or your response.. i know i would have been re-reading my own response a couple of times to ensure i worded and spelled it correctly, trying to make the best impression.

Nevertheless as the other reply says.. at least she knows now - would be worse to have it bottled up...

You cant take it back so there's no going back really... If your not feeling like you'd be able to ask her out, drop her a funny text (similar to the one she sent you) and see what response you get... work from there then... Ya never know she might reply with "I like you too"...

Feck it just ask her out, you've broken the ice already so just go for it. The worst thing that can happen is she will say no and you know where you stand.

"I said I like you because you are a meanie...".....and everyone laughs at how witty you are and the girl never finds out you like her and you get to live your life never taking a chance......problem solved.

If she says anything, just say you were joking as well

No big deal!

Funny how you could recall her text word for word but your own just "along the lines of". I guess this means that you don't want to write it down exactly because it was so embarrassing. Which complicates things for us.

M2C: Leave it alone for now and if she brings it up say that you were at the game and you got a weird question from her about liking her so you just texted back "Yeah, I like you".

However, this all depends on the actual wording of your text.

just pretend that your freind had the phone and was sending random texts to people when ye were drinkin

Let it fly, OP. These are the moments that make life worth living sometimes...

Tell her you missed the punchline in the text and now you're embarrassed because your wishful thinking chip went into overdrive in the confusion but you said that you liked her and you meant it...

Totally agree! Life would be so boring if we didnt take chances, sometimes you have to be a bit bold, no point missing the boat and wondering what if..
BUT if you really dont want her thinking you like her then go with what DickBush said . Pretend its a friend/brother/sister who text her back.

i think with the day that was in it, no one would take any texts they received too seriously..

but it could give you an opportunity now to take this one step further and who knows then

tbh

dude - I feel for you but really, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it and laugh it off. You never know, it might be a good thing!

Usually I would agree with this philosophy, but in these situations friendships can be ruined. Unrequited love/feelings for a friend usually ends the friendship as well as any chance of more.

AAAh but its cute OP!

Send another one saying "oh missed punchline, that's embarrassing..." and leave it at that. Then the ball is in her court. Worst case scenario she doesn't feel the same but it really flattered.

Sit back and enjoy it.

Depending on her response, you can say, a) you were joking given the day that was in it (unless you sent something deeply weird back to her) or b) well felt you should say something, anyhow, skips, since you asked.

Faint heart ne'er won fair lady..
