I decided I'm going to be a brave girl and tell a boy I like him tomorrow, even though I know he doesn't like me back!

bad idea

daisy half-wit said, (265 days ago)

Well, the reason why I'm doing it is because our working relationship is just going to the dogs because of me. He and I are writing a script together and stuff has come to a stand still because all my energy is going into keeping my feelings from him. So, I'm going to just put it out on the table and 'fess up so he knows that I'm not flaking out on him, just emotionally unstable.

ive done this. it doesn't work. in fact, it CAN be a selfish act.

not trying to be a dick, here, but, just my read on things, i suppose.

(this is based on you saying that you KNOW he doesn't feel the same)

I'll cross my fingers for you.

daisy half-wit said, (265 days ago)

It is a selfish act. I'm not trying to get him to like me. I just want it off my chest because my feelings for him are crushing our working relationship. We both prize honesty above all, even honesty that may hurt someone in the short term. It has nothing to do with me trying to trick him into liking me. It's all about me just getting something off my chest so we can move on.

Good luck. Tell us how it goes!

I've done it, and except for one time, it worked out ok. I've also had people do the same to me, although it was only a problem when they expected me to reciprocate. Even so, usually that worked out fine too.

daisy half-wit said, (264 days ago)

He never said either way if he reciprocated or not, but I'm sure he doesn't. However, it was awkward because we are so close. Normally, that would make it worse. But I went into it not being awkward so I think that helped a lot.

So - you told him?

bizzy said, (264 days ago)

Congrats on going for it. That definitely takes guts. I hope you feel better now that you got it off your chest.

@sharon: Yep!
