Letting a person go without telling them you have feelings for them OR Telling a person how you feel and being rejected?

I think not telling the person how you feel is worse because for all you know they could feel the same about you. Also if you dont tell them how you feel you will spend all your timne thinking about what that person would have said. So i think its better for you to take the chance and tell them how you feel..being rejected isnt as bad as not knowing :]

Not knowing is much worse than knowing I think. At least knowing you know, without knowing you have to deal with what if's. It's kind of like pulling a band-aid off. It hurts for a second when done fast, but much longer and worse if you pull it off slowly. Getting rejected hurts for a little. But feeling that way and not saying anything drags things out, and can cause a lot of pain, and the feeling of not knowing can be really painful.

for me, what hurts more is telling a person how you feel and being rejected, oh and let me add something else after rejection, its the feeling of that person is avoiding you and thinking your not someone he/she knows.. I think letting a person go without telling them is easier because time will come when you will forget everything, true it will be more difficult if you are just going to keep it, but what if you did tell it and the outcome is you will lose a friend, that will hurt more.. I think it is better if it is a guy, but for girls, I think they better keep it especially when they feel that no future of being them together as a couple..

i think both hurts. the first one may hurt you silently. for the later one you may end up shedding tears.

Letting a person go without telling them how you feel because it will leave question like what if i told him/her how i feel do he/she love me back, will she/he accept me. things like that will linger in your mind and it hurts.

I would rather tell them and know for sure than not tell them and spend my life wondering. I have a few situations that I didn't tell the woman how I felt, and I still wonder what might have been at times, even though I am married now...

Telling a person how you feel and being rejected normally hurts average people. Pain of being rejected will be there forever in his or her mind. If you don't tell, there will be longing but not the pain of rejection, since it was not revealed.

Not telling them is a cowardly act.

I think what hurts more is that letting someone go without telling your feelings because in my opinion the more what ifs there is in a situation the more you will be hurt because you would be living in that idea and those notions that couldn't be real anymore. Having this unknown and expecting for nothing huts more than something that is real like being rejected.

It hurts to be rejected by the person you love but i would rather open my heart out to the one I love than to keep it in and let him go without telling him how i really felt. I would always wonder what if i did go up to him and tell him how i felt about him.
