It's the what ifs that gnaw at you for years. It's good to get things out in the open and put them behind you. Fish, sea and all that...
GrassssssssTastesBad
Hell yeah! You put yourself out there and they didnt feel the same. That's okay! Keep up the awesome work!
HughRichard
Very mature, proud of you. From one random internet stranger to another

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Good job trying. Keep trying and something will work out.
DamascusFire
You officially have more bollocks than I do, congratulations
Andied
It ended well and you did well!
Muttons1337
A daring move indeed! Depending on your age and a buncha other things, maybe next time your move should be face to face!

That's a very polite exchange and it's good to see the honesty and reasonable-ness on both sides, tbh.
ACuriousCoder
You. Are. Awesome. I've been in this spot before, but I spent so much time playing that when I actually told them, I had made the whole 1/2
ACuriousCoder
thing awkward and messy. I'm not friends with them anymore, but I wonder if I could be if I had been more direct from the start 2/2
Ilovebuns
It'll be a little weird, but it will pass. Proud of you for putting yourself out there. Time to move on and try again with someone new.
CrazyMrowLady
Rejected or not, everyone of us loves your courage. You keep badass, my friend.
catholiccolor117
Trying is more than good enough
SiberianHuskyFurDayerrday
Right one will come along give it time to develope and grow getting to know someone. Let it be natural and not forced for lack ofbetterwords
SiberianHuskyFurDayerrday
Takes courage to do that type of thing, keep your spirits up regardless.
justtruth
I'm just as impressed that the other person didn't make it weird and gave you a reasonable rejection.
filben7
Next time do it in person rather than over text.
Esdog
Now, do that to all the people you like, and one will say yes, then lots will say yes, then you have to break someone's little heart
BigDaddysMeatWagon
You were upfront and brave, she was nice and respectful, this makes me think I should have been as brave in life.
saphire4higher
Unless you're typing from behind the grave, you can still give it a go! :)
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Nope, married.

SmokyDoggg
Love is like hot sauce it will burn you but you keep coming back for more! Try with someone else there's a girl out there for you!
waddyaknowjoe
You gave it a shot. Go you.
ghsdkgb
But if he didn't curse her out and call her a slut who only dates jerks and not nice guys like him then did he really try?
somethingintangible
Next time don't do it over text message
DrMaggot
You forgot to call her a whore and say she was ugly anyway. Thats how you get respect man.
Ulthirm
You were polite and she doesnt seem upset or nothing. You've already dont better than all of my friends. Congrats. IMO its better that
Ulthirm
the feelings are known as to avoid awkwardness but thats just me.
CheekyLittleCunnnt
Now that you do that. Healthy diet, work out, do something you passionste about and make it your work and get rid of one nasty habit.
redsweatah
You were respectful when you were rejected. A lot of guys get mad at being told no. You handled well.
ringwood
YOU JUST MISSED OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME!!!#=$)&($
MindOverMatt
The reason I think a lot of guys react badly to the word no, in my personal experience is because a lot of us guys put a lot of time and 1/2
MindOverMatt
And effort taking days weeks or even months in my case to work up the courage to ask this person out and especially if you know the 2/3
MindOverMatt
Well and are good friends Almost falling in love with them.
MindOverMatt
Obviously I am nice to every girl that says no but I can understand why others wouldn't. It's not okay I'm just saying I understand why.
Mickeysofine
Sounds like the same result as not trying with extra steps.
MamaSchatzy
Good shot... gentle honest let down... not a bad ending for such a scary risk! Way to go :)

Ben, my guy, we know your name you don't gotta cross it out
heylookatmeIamMrmeeseeks
Ha! Classic Ben.
Rowsus
Gotta say, you lowered your chances by about 80% by texting. In person is the only way.
EirikurDC
It's true. Look them in the eyes while telling them.
RedAppleSoda
Mmm, I doubt you are 5x more likely to get someone to have already developed feelings for you by saying you like them in person.
Rowsus
No, but if she was even a little interested, she might be put off by you not having the courage to do it face to face. It's not a good start
schmidy
I like that you crossed your name out, but it's the same as your username lol
lighterletter
I fucking keked. +1

@OP Stuff like this usually won't work because it's too blunt. You'd have a better chance by getting things to progress gradually.

Iatesomecoffeecups
Is there a way you can change your username? I really should have put more thought into it
TioBala
Don't worry. When this is posted on 9gag no one will care or know
amyphister
Now that we all know your very common first name, we're all going to show up at your house and ask for a cup of sugar. Unannounced.
LeJoop
I... I might call ahead, I don’t want to stop by if he doesn’t have sugar. I’m in a bit of hurry!
gbombuh
It’s okay Ben we’re proud of you for putting yourself out there in a respectful and non creepy way
GoEatADick

MadHakon
If Mattero is your last name, you really done messed up now A-a-ron
jerwelch66
Don't change your username that's the first step to being yourself that's your identity that's who you are be proud of it.
herculesthebad12
