during college, i have a clasmate who courted me. i was 16 years old then and im not prepared for a relationship yet. i rejected the love he is offering in an improper and humiliating way. i shouted at him and told him that i don't like him.and unknowingly it was his birthday that day which makes him hurt more.. now, i still feel terrible to what i've done to him.. i should talked to him in a nice way to lessen the pain. i will not not be surpised if he's still angry with me till now. but i hope that he is now happy with someone or else i'll still be blaming myself more for making him miserable.

I only had that happen once. I dated this guy for about a month and he was totally infatuated with me (I was his first girlfriend) and he was overjoyed and seemed to love me very much...but I wasn't that into it...at all. So I broke up with him and it actually made him cry, which I felt extremely bad for, especially since my birthday was coming up and he'd mailed me gifts for it (I was visiting my grandparents that week). But, I'm sure he's over it by now (I hope). And I dated him because I honestly wasn't seeing our relationship going anywhere, which I think is much better than leading him on. And it was only about 3 months after that before I started dating my fiance, who I REALLY had feelings for, so it was better that way. So, no, in the end I don't really regret it. I felt bad for a time, but it was best in the long run. No one wants to be with someone that doesn't love them back.

Yes I have, and I feel horrible about it. I think I will never get over it. If only he could read my mind about how sorry I am.

I am sure that did hurt him. And if you still feel guilty over it. I would try to ask him to forgive you over what happened that day. Because when I have guilt like that I have to go to the person and talk to them. Even though its a hard thing to do but you can do it.

"I rejected the love he is offering in an improper and humiliating way. i shouted at him and told him that i don't like him." I also did the stupid thing several times. You will never know how regretful I feel now! We didn't grow up then! Let us just forgive our innocence!

I regretted it, I knew I would, but I still did it anyway. sometimes it is the right thing to do because if you really don't feel the same way or your feelings change, it isn't fair to keep going on making believe. love can hurt sometimes but you have to be honest with others.

Well i think that what u did was a necessary evil that was to be done. At that time u weren't ready for a relationship and that should be above all. Now thinking of the guy whom u rejected, it should not have done much harm to him except a few days of sadness and inferiority complex. The life goes on and we tend to move on. Definitely the guy is having a great time now as it is a fact that teenagers are not experienced enough to handle a relationship. And if the guy still holds the grudge against u , then the guy never deserved u. . So be cool and enjoy life. . Wot u did was necessary and there is no harm done.

Ugh, I totally mistreated a really nice guy and I feel bad about it to this day even though he's forgiven me and we're good friends! I can't believe I was so horrible to such a sweet person :(

Yes, I broke the heart of a good friend of mine when I was 15. He asked me out while we were in New York, and, now I come to think about it, it was quite romantic. But I didn't like him in that way in the slightest; we were just really good friends! So, I turned him down, but then things got kind of awkward between us, because he didn't seem to be able to get over his feelings for me that easily :( As is happened, he managed to get over them eventually, so we're now pretty good friends :)

i think no because if you don't love someone then tell him/her as early as possible... don't try to enter a relationship if you don't have feelings for someone in a nice way!... if you do, you'll regret your decision for the rest of your life... follow your heart not your mind...

Years ago i dated this guy...the love of my life, we were together for about 2 years when i met someone else. Chads parents were very strict and they hated me,i came from a poor family and i was just not good enough for him,according to his parents. With his parents being so difficult when the new guy came around things seemed to be so much easier. I left him,and at that time i was sure that this is the best for both of us. I have regretted every day eversince. About five months ago i got hold of his email address and i tried to email him. (its about five years later )He just ignored me...I need to say sorry,i did explain in the email i sent him but,i dont know how he feels,i dont know if he's ok. Im getting married in a month and i need to know if im gonna make the second biggest mistake in my life... (The 1st one was leaving him) Its not to say that it would have worked,but it worked perfectly for that 2 years...except for his parents... I would love to see him and talk to him,i need him in my life...just being friends.

I dated a guy in High School for a short time. I had recently broken up with my boyfriend of 2 years,but kind of knew that we would probably get back together. The new guy fell hard and treated me better than anyone ever had but I still loved my ex. I ended up breaking up with him for the ex, and it hurt him very bad. Its been over 10 years since this happened but recently I see him at least once a week at a new job. He still holds a lot of anger toward me.
