Or lack thereof?
So I told my best friend at college that I like him.
We were sitting outside, it was about 1 AM and a group of us had just dispersed after some grand storytelling. I'd texted him earlier that I wanted to tell him something, this was right before break and I knew if I didn't get it out before then I'd go crazy, so I'm pretty sure he knew what was coming. Heck, we're best friends, of course he did. So once we were alone, I just out and said it, and honestly it was the easiest thing I've ever done.
He thanked me for telling him, said he was flattered but didn't feel the same way, which I pretty much expected (I was actually relieved) and he was really cool about it. I wasn't even a little disappointed, just glad that he knew. After that we stayed out and just talked, until about 4 AM, about pretty much everything. It was so incredibly nice and I couldn't stop thinking how grateful I was to have such a good friend.
It's been about a month since then, and we're still cool, in fact I think we're better friends because of it. It's not weird or awkward, we still do the same things we always did, and I guess I'm just really happy how well it all turned out. So yeah, moral of the story is don't be afraid to tell your best friend that you have a thing for them I guess. Maybe we'll date in the future (he kind of alluded to that, he had a lot of personal reasons for not wanting to be in a relationship right now), but maybe not. I don't think I mind either way really. I'm just happy.
You probably don't care but whatever.
TL:DR
Still a virgin.

No idea what I'm doing, but I think people should just be honest about what they're feeling it makes things so much simpler. You don't like me? Okay, that's one less thing I have to worry about. You do like me? I don't feel the same way but I'm glad you told me so I can just be aware of that and not like, accidentally hurt your feelings by not knowing.
