Expressing our feelings to someone we like is not an easy task for many of us out there. While majority of people simply use ‘I Love You’, some of them (mostly introverts) express their emotions via gestures. These three magical words are often received as an acceptance of love, however, sometimes, things can go down south if your crush doesn’t reciprocate the same feelings.

Now, before we delve more into this article, we have a disclaimer. If you are someone who has been turned down by your crush when you poured your heart out and said ‘I love you’, then this might hurt a bit. Cos we have found some worst responses that anyone can get after saying these words. A Reddit user, u/HikerTrash46 recently asked netizens, “What’s the worst way to respond to “I love you”? And the responses are harsh AF.

1. Just, “Thanks”

As a teenager, my friend waited three whole days after a 2 minute voice-text confession and finally responded with just…”Thanks”

If you have blurted out anything like this, you are an evil. Narak mein bhi jagah nahin milegi. There are many polite ways to reject someone’s proposal if you aren’t interested or not in the lovey-dovey phase such as:

1. I am sorry but there’s already someone in my life.
2. That’s so sweet but I am focusing on my career as of now.
3. My parents have found someone for me and I can’t make them unhappy.
4. I am not in that phase as I have been coping with a bad break up.

Good luck!
