You Know You're Living a Soap Opera When... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Miss Lisa · 02-03-2010, 10:02 PM

Okay, I need some help here, I feel like I'm living a soap opera. I have a friend and her name is Cassie and I also have another friend named Derek. Well, Derek and Cassie are dating, that's great in all, but while Derek was out of town at his cousin's wedding, he called me up and accidently said that he had loved me. I didn't know whether or not he was serious, but I figured it meant something when he got all panicky and hung up. Anyways, it was indeed comfirmed that he does have feelings for me.

What do I do in this situation? I don't want to hurt my friend Cassie and I don't want to hurt Derek.

Anyways, if anyone has any issues that I could possibly help with, I'd be glad to help...I don't feel right just taking help without giving any.

How do you feel about Derek?

Miss Lisa · 02-04-2010, 04:36 PM

Well, he's kinda like a big brother to me. I love him...but I'm not really sure I could ever, "love" him. You know what I mean? Like I don't know if we would actually be good together as a couple.

well i would just tell Derek the truth...that you like him as a close friend but you don't "love" him in that way. anything else will probably just turn messy.

I second that. Be honest. If I was Cassie, I would understand if you truly had feelings for him in return (or at least, I would try to understand) but if you don't, don't go there.

Thanks you guys. Tomorrow I'm going to go over to Hannah's house where I'll be with Cassie and Derek for the first time since he had slipped. He'll probably wait until Cassie leaves and then we'll talk. Wish me luck.
