People Share The Absolute Worst Ways To Respond To 'I Love You'

Suppose you fall in love. You've been there before, right? Many of us have. Admitting your feelings can be one of the hardest things you do. Being vulnerable is not easy.

And you can only hope that the object of your affection responds to your words in kind. Suppose they don't? That's when things get awkward, even painful.

People shared their thoughts with us after Redditor Scrotonimus asked the online community,

"What is the worst way to respond to "I love you"?"

"If only..."

""If I could only get your sister to say that."

"I love you."

"I love you...r sister."

Can you imagine?

"Just not saying..."

"Just not saying anything and laughing, like a real good hearty laugh would be pretty bad."

__lony__

Oh, that would really hurt. A lot.

"You're just not..."

"You're just not terribly important to me."

Imherewhatnow

Best response: "I have to return some videotapes."

"Then you'll really love..."

"Then you'll really love this once in a lifetime business opportunity!"

[deleted]

Please don't. Just because we're in love doesn't mean I want to join you on a timeshare.

"And..."

"And I love you, random citizen!"

llama_brigade

This is the best response. I laughed way too hard at this.

"You don't know..."

"You don't know what love is, Forrest."

Action_Hank__

I'm not a smart man, but I know what love is.

See what I did there?

"I love..."

"I love me too."

Admit it – many of you have said this one.

"I.... tolerate you."

Ouch. Let's hope none of you ever hear this.

"By releasing large amounts of ink in order to create a dark, diffuse cloud (much like a smoke screen) which can obscure the intruder's view, allowing you to make a rapid retreat by jetting away."

Goiterbuster

Honestly, I think I'd respect the hustle if this actually happened.

"There's no mistaking..."

""Thank you" is the most heartbreaking and the most effective. There's no mistaking that the other person heard it, acknowledged it, and very deliberately did not return it in kind."

StickleyMan

I have said this to someone before...but I feel like it's better to be honest than say something so powerful that you don't mean.

Awkward, huh? You can't help who you fall in love with – but hopefully they will also reciprocate your emotions.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Sometimes when you meet someone, everything goes so perfectly that you can't help but imagine that it's meant to be.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
