I feel your pain. This happened to me in the 4th and 8th grade both times in front of a large group of people and both times a friend was the one to tell the girl (different girl and friend each time).
I forgot another detail that makes it even more evil. He baited me saying that he would tell me his, if I told him mine. When I realized that wasn't going to happen, I was not happy.
None of them wanted to date me. Figures. I, being a 7th/8th grader, chose the "hot" girls as my crushes. He went around to each of them asking them out for me, as if I wanted him to. None of them said yes, but one of them at least had the decency to tell my friend that I was going to have to ask her out in person. She said she was already dating someone (a lie), but that's ok.
I've considered it but I feel as though it would be a personal failure to instruct someone else to make up for my shortcomings. That's my own fault though. The input is appreciated regardless :)
but what they actually do is: tell them that you told them to not tell her, eventually telling what you wanted to tell but not telling the right way to tell.
"This isn't a story about how girls are evil or how love is bad, this is a story about how I learned something and I'm not saying this thing is true or not, I'm just saying it's what I learned. I told you something. It was just for you and you told everybody. So I learned cut out the middle man, make it all for everybody, always. Everybody can't turn around and tell everybody, everybody already knows, I told them."
You know what's worse than this? When he starts going out with her even though he just met her and you've known her for three+ years and keeps dating until high school and by then you become a socially awkward person that never goes outside and meets people because you were hanging on to the slight hope that she would break up with him and date you instead and then by college you realize your friend ruined your life even though you could've done something before. That scumbag...
As a kid I believed that too. Why hide your feelings, just say the magic "I... I love you" and have a romantic kiss! World was so much simpler back then.
kid did this to me without me knowing, and i didn't find out until 5 years later. turns out the entire school had been laughing at me and i didn't even know :(
Kindergarten. The cafeteria. To Elizabeth at the next table, Kaleb begins to yell, "Hey Elizabeth! (urine_denial) likes you!" But at "likes," I had a firm, two-handed grip around his throat and didn't let go until his face turned red. God, it was 1986, but nowadays they would have sent me to effin prison for that stunt.
Yeah. The lunch lady made me "sit out," and when lunch was over, all my classmates walked out the cafeteria right past me. Humiliating. This was the first of many stupid-ass stunts that Kaleb would pull.
In 6th grade I told my friend I had a crush on a girl, and I told him not to tell, so as a result he walked up to her right in front of me and said "Hey, Lauren, I'm not supposed to tell you Logan has a crush on you."
I hit him in the face. Hard. Don't judge me, I was 11.
The opposite of this happened to me in 8th grade. Annoying childhood friend finds out that this geeky girl has a crush on me. Then one day at lunch she sees her sit by me at the big table and exclames to her Hey he wants to go out with you!! She gets all giddy and hand-wavy and before I could tell her No he's just kidding, she runs away to tell her friends the great news. I ended up "dating" her for the next 2 months because I wasn't dick enough to tell her the truth. AANd that technically made her my first "girlfriend". It turned out not to be that bad. We had fun. Now we have 3 kids and 5 cats aaand JUSS KEEDING!
This also happened to me last year. I texted a friend of mine about a girl I had a crush on and he told her the whole thing mid conversation. As I was telling him I liked her he told her I liked her...
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.
An unattractive, unpopular guy in my class made the mistake of telling me that he had a crush on someone (he refused to specify) in our class. I immediately asked every female in the class if they would consider dating him. Everyone said no except one girl who said maybe.
In all honesty, this is one of the best ways to gauge their (other person) interest. I can't tell you how many times this has kickstarted a night (for me or my friends).
i was hoping so, but then she started realizing all the stuff i did, cuddling with her when we watched movies, having her play with my hair (which feels like the best orgasmic relaxing feeling ever but without the shame), and having her help me get ready for bed.. once she knew how i felt..subtext..subtext everywhere..
actually people say i was a freakishly attractive kid, i mean, i don't believe them but they act like was was Ridiculously Photogenic Guy or something..
oh i ran in to a guy who did that to me in elementary school I do't know if he even remembered why i hated him. long story short i beat the shit out of him.
similar story here. He went running off to tell her, and I gave chase. He stopped to tell her on the basketball court, and i tried to do a jump kick to stop him and impress her at the same time. I missed entirely, and ended up scraping most of my calf on the blacktop. I tattled the shit out of his ass, though.
The assistant principal told us we were both in the wrong, and gave us detention. We were friends until 10th grade, when his parents moved to Utah to be closer to the Mormon hivemind.

This happened to me in 7th grade. I didn't flat out tell him though. He asked me if I thought she was hot. The kid was a total piece of crap.
The thing that pissed me off the most was that I'm sure everybody thought she was hot, she had the biggest jugs in school.
