Have you ever said you were in love with someone, but you really weren't? If so, why did you?

Yes, I have. When I was 21 I met a guy through a friend's boyfriend, we'll call him Kevin. Kevin was very sweet, tenderhearted, thoughtful, funny, and adventurous. Unfortunately he was born with some problems which left him unhandsome (think Goonies), unintelligent, and a bit of a dweeb. Like I said he was very nice but wasn't able to hold a good conversation for very long. I was spending time with my friend and her guy who happened to be Kevin's best friend at the time. He developed a huge crush and me and started pursuing me. I just did not have the heart to tell him I wasn't interested. I knew he had never had a girl before and he was trying to hard to get me to like him. I gave in thinking I could help "suave" him up, teach him about girls, help him with his clothes, and generally make him a chick magnet then send him off to look for a real love.

IT BACKFIRED, while helping him out he fell in love. His father died, his sister had a baby, his mother was diagnosed with an illness all while we were seeing each other. When he looked at me with big green eyes and told me he loved me I couldn't help but say I loved him too. I thought him being young things would work themselves out. In the end I broke his heart, which I will forever regret.

Moral of the story; don't date someone because you don't want to hurt them by saying no. You only end up hurting them worse in the end.
