Her Guy Best Friend Confessed To Being In Love With Her, But Then Her Ex Proposed To Her After 9 Years Apart
It was nine years ago that this 28-year-old woman split up with her 32-year-old ex-boyfriend. She did love him deeply, and she always will have love for him.
However, things ended because her ex said a couple of crazy things to her face, such as he only felt lust for her and that there was no love in his heart.
She had only been dating her ex for six months back then, and while that doesn’t seem like much time, she still loved him and made that clear to him.
“Still, I chose to break up because I didn’t want to be with someone shallow either. I prayed…so hard at that point to bring him back to me, but well, it didn’t happen,” she explained.
Last month, she ended up running into her ex at a store, and they decided to add one another on social media.
She thought it was harmless and friendly, especially since she was single and not interested in anyone.
Since March, she has spoken to her ex occassionally, but then she thought he was acting strange. He was acting almost scared and nervous, but she didn’t think to ask him why this was.
“During this time, I went on a date with my guy best friend, who confessed to loving me since day 1 of our college days but could never say it,” she said.
“It was a beautiful date (the best I have ever had). We went on two dates, and it’s safe to say that I fell for him somewhere. I know it’s too soon to fall for someone on two dates, but yeah, I feel that way.”

Then yesterday, her ex called her to say he actually has always loved her, and running into her in the store last month had to be fate, as he was hoping something could help him find her again.
He then proposed to her, claiming he can’t live his life without her in it. She asked him if he truly loved her.
He responded that he is positive he does, and it was lust in the first part of their relationship, which really confused him.
Now, she was always head over heels for him, but it didn’t make her happy to hear that it took him nine years to finally realize that she’s the one for him.
She decided to confide in her guy friend, whom she went on a few dates with, and be honest with him about her ex proposing.
“He told me to calm down and asked me how it felt when my ex reached out to me and talked about marriage and everything,” she said.
“I said, uneasy. He said, “Then you know what to do. Besides, I’m pretty serious about us and would hate to lose you to some guy just like this. I have been friends with you for so many years and bottled up all the feelings, thinking I would never get to say them, but I want to tell them to you for the rest of my life now.”
“I blocked my ex immediately from all the socials. The conversation was so sweet, it was a blessing in disguise.”
Do you think she made the right choice, picking her guy best friend over her ex that she was madly in love with all those years ago?
