Romantics Are Sharing The WILD Stories They Have About Asking Out Their Crush

9.

“I told my best friend that I’d had a big crush on her and I’d really like it if she gave me a shot — just one date. She said she didn’t see me like that. I avoided her over the next few weeks. If she texted to hang out, I wouldn’t respond, or I’d lie and say I was busy. One night, there was a knock on the door of my apartment. It was her.”

“I thought she came around. But she said that she didn’t like me in a romantic way, and she couldn’t help it. I didn’t spark her fire. Then she said she missed me and that I’m still her best friend.

And I realized how much my friendship meant to her and how shitty and cowardly I’d been to avoid her after she rejected me. I told her that I was sorry.

A few years ago, a lifelong friend from back home visited me. I introduced him to her and… well… she found her spark. They’ve been happily married now for two years, and I can only hope that their son and my daughter can enjoy the same level of friendship as her and I do.”
