How many times have you just wanted to KICK yourself, good and hard? Well, that's what I have felt like the past couple days. I've had this really good friend for a long time, and I messed it up. I didn't intend to; I didn't want to; if I had thought through things, I would've never even told this person these things. But we got to talking, and I was having a rough time with some other things already, so I go and tell him that I have feelings for him, or had feelings for him, and that I don't know which...
Oh my word, Kristi! What a mess.
Let me just say, in case you don't already know it, that when you are emotional already and confused about other things is NOT the time to have the "I like you" conversation.
Thank you. That is all for now.

Navigating guy/girl friendships is very tricky, especially because the truth is, in most cases there is some level of attraction or you probably wouldn't have become friends in the first place.
Those friendships can be very rewarding but there is a lot of room for confusion, crossed-signals, and mixed emotions. I'm praying for you.
Don't beat yourself up too badly about being honest with your friend about how you feel. Given time, these situations often find an equilibrium.
Hang in there!
I must have been out of it or something, but I had no idea you told me you had feelings for me! I had no idea you had feelings for me!
This just puts a huge kink in our relationship. Not only did you tell me, but I don't remember you telling me!
Oh bother...
God can take a mess and turn it into gold:-)
God's Grace.
been there, done that, got to see it all work out in a way that was so much better than I could ever imagine
Kristi,
Hang in there kid everything is going to work out just fine, I will be praying for you. Mabye this guy has feelings for you also and you don't know it. It probably did not ruin your relationship with him at all just give it a little time and things will come around.

I'm with Gordon on this dear one. Honesty is always best even on the worst of days and given time, and maybe some space your relationship should be made stronger in the truth. How else can you learn to trust someone? ;-)
Thanks people... you are all so awesome!
And, Adam, you are too funny! =)
I've been there and done that myself. You'd be surprised at how often these thisgs work themselves out. Remamber God has the relationship plan for you just trust him. I certainly do in this area.
(BTW the intent of my tagging you was that you were supposed to make a post of your 10 simplest pleasures on your blog and then tag some people, not just leave them as a comment on my blog where they'll eventually get lost.)
Boy, do I know that feeling. It's not fun; but life does recoup and get better.
don't be too hard on yourself. for all you know, it could be a start of something good.
May the peace of God be with you, Kristi :)
Sounds familiar :-)
i have made this mistake many times. it slips out like verbal diahrea and later you think 'why did i do that...again'
