Confessing your feelings to someone is always a gamble—you never really know how it’ll turn out. It could spark the beginning of something exciting, or it could end in heartbreak.
One man decided to take that risk with his friend of ten years. He told her he didn’t understand why she was with her boyfriend, since in his mind he was the better option—more attractive, taller, and more successful. But instead of falling for his pitch, she gave him an honest answer: she didn’t see him as good relationship material.
Her bluntness left him crushed, and soon their mutual friends were saying she had been too harsh. Unsure if she’d gone too far or simply told the truth, she turned to Reddit for advice.
