Well you know how it goes. If people even get the slightest idea that two people might have the slightest interest in each other, they go nutzo.

They tease you two, associated you two together, and etc.

EVEN when you two actually DONT like each other.

Well my question is, is there anyone out there who, though at first didnt like the other person, ended up dating them as a result of all this teasing and stuff?

Just curious

is it really possible?
won't in the end they figure out they dont like each other?
or even worse...when one doesn't like the other back in the end =(

Well not really like that.. I liked the person at the time, but I didn't know if he returned the feelings or not.
My friends would tease us 'bout spending too much time together and always going out.
They'd say things like, it's so obvious that he likes you, but I denied it.

But in the end.. we got together and all my friends were like, "I knew he liked you back."

Yeah...
Happened to me.
He liked me, But at that time I didnt like him.
People around us teased us by calling us "lovebirds" and whatnot.

No. People are still pushing me and one of my best guy friend to be together. Its been two years and we still haven't hooked up like they "predicted".

and the stupid thing is i completely understand what you're asking.

in fact, my current boyfriend and i are together partially because of that.
okay, that's a lie, alot of pressure from everyone around prompted us to act but i think the main problem is trying to figure out what affection you have towards one another.

although, i do have to note that i did like him before but as a friend and admittedly i'm still struggling with the idea of a romantic love towards him but i guess we're both content with where we're at. it's one of the situations that is dependent upon the person and their response. if you're feeling pressured then it's up to you to take time out and to think about how you feel and whether or not you see potential in having a relationship.

i don't know if this would count..


my boyfriend and i are childhood friends; meaning we've known each other for a long time... since grade 4. we were best of friends and were always together. and yknow how children think and play right? when they see a girl and a boy always together, they would go end up teasing these two and tell them to get married and stuff like that. well, we've been through that too. since i always sticked to him wherever he goes, we always get teased of something like that. i didnt have that thought in my mind though at that time. i liked someone else... but yea, in the end i dated him. PFFFT.
.
.
.
.
.
.
then again, i didnt like him because of all the teasings ive recieved from before.
it just came naturally without noticing that my feelings for him had changed.

scenario 1: they figure it's only one sided. _ but in ten years? meh. who knows.

scenario 2: they figure it's zero sided [not possible. LOL _ unless one's gay or blood-related]

scenario 3: they like each other. but deny their feelings in front of everyone, including the other person. causing misunderstanding and a tragic situation [..only happens in works of fiction. i think.. lol]

realistically, it comes down to timing. if you two like each other at the same time. otherwise, it's just dead.
==' andyeah. i know how annoying it is when people do that.

Well, it can happen because my s/o and I were just friends when we were still in high school and we always hung out with each other which ended up making people assume there was something between us, at that time I only saw him as a friend but he told me that at that time he started to like me. Sometimes the teachers would even ask if we were dating..lol...But as soon as school ended, our relationship bloomed..lol..

I think that the teasing or the assumptions from others helped me realized my feelings for him, if not then I wouldn't have ever thought of him that way and would never had realized my true feelings towards him.

I ended up going out with someone, but not due to the teasing. I really like him. ._. If you don't like a person, you can't just go out with them because everyone teases you about it.

Well, I actually did like the person, but I didn't think he liked me. So this one day, a program that I'm in (that he's in too), went whitewater rafting. I tried to get my friend to put suntan lotion on my back, but she was eating, so he did it for me while I was doing my arms and legs. Our group leaders were passing around cookies but I still had suntan lotion on my hand, so he got it for me and kind of like fed me. All of our friends were teasing us about it, saying how we looked like a couple. I know I liked him at the time, but I didn't know if he did. I guess teasing might open your eyes to see what's really in front of you, because in a couple of weeks, it's going to be 6 months for us.

Yep, it happens
It happened to a close friend of mine actually

At that time when we kept teasing the couple they didn't have a interest
but later on they started talking and then they went out?
Strangest things happen haha

um, no, the hell.

why would the opinions of others influence our compatibility?

Nope. I don't give in to peer pressure.

Well... with one girl, in high school, everyone kept joking about us dating. We butt heads on everything. We were both smart, and were extremely competitive about our grades, who did better. We even compared stupid stuff like how well she did in track to how well I did in tennis matches (she broke state records, I barely had a positive win percentage).

As a joke, we "pretended" to date, were really flamboyant about it, went on a date or two and made it more or less public just for some good laughs. But yeah. Dark movie theater, so on and so forth... that girl about sucked my soul out of my mouth, ahahahaha. We ended up actually dating for a while, until college. She went to Pennsylvania, I went to North Carolina. Actually was really easy to end, oddly enough. Competition didn't end though, she got a full athletic scholarship, I got a full academic scholarship, we still argue over which one's better =P

It happened to mee
Like, i go to a get-together every year with my mom and her friends' families and so all their sons and daughters are there too. So there's this one guy who would never talk to me and the other people because we were all girls. But this year, he talked to us and my friends started to tease us and stuff and they would make us do stuff with each other (like play slapjack so our hands could touch? LMFAO), and like... ya... He started to talk to me more and more... and we would meet once a week and yaa. and it eventually happened(: I actually kinda told one of my friends and she was likee... "WOW I NEVER KNEW IT WOULD GO THAT FAR!" haha

Lol, not the same situation, but we both liked each other, and ended up together because of their teasing and trying to get us together. LOL

Exactly like my two best friends O.O
There's this girl in our group who acts like our 'unofficial leader' -__- So she always took control and bullied everyone. She started to tease them so that got closer and talked to each other about that girl and yeah O.O

In a way my relationship was like the exact opposite of what you're asking about.

In sophomore year, supposedly everyone (though I'm sure that it was just two really noisy girls) thought that me and my ex made a good match. We were teased just a bit, not a lot. But it makes me think about whether it actually put a distance b/w us b/c it was really awkward when we all hung out.

Then in junior year we somehow ended talking more and getting together...

When you fall for someone, don't you just hate it when you realize he's always been around, but you just never got to really know him?

it happens. well, my ex told his friend who was also my friend at the time that he liked me (but only because she asked "who do you like") and this friend basically forced us together even though I never said that I want to go out with him... but I did like him a little bit =P

he never even asked me out! IT JUST HAPPENED! @__@;;

but yeah, he actually grew on me a lot after started 'going out'... and yes, everyone was gushing over how cute we were together >>;;

I don't know, sometimes I find myself less attracted to someone after I know they like me, but in this case it was different... maybe because it became official or something haha.

yeah. i'm still with him a year later
i did like him at first, but not in that way. then feelings developed.
but we were pretty much unofficial, but pretended to be official LOL.
i guess that's why people thought we were together haha.

hahaa, that kinda happened to me? well, before me and my bf went out, we were just friends. and we started hanging out more and more. and i started liking him, but he liked someone else, so i just kept it quiet. but apparently people thought we were going out because we would always walk with each other and mess around with each other. sooo our friends would tease us (T_T especially me) and say 'oh yeah, you like him don't you. awwww you guys are so cute' but i denied it always. and... now we're going out XD hahaha our friends gave me so much crap about it.

^
same here!! at first we were just friends, but we hang out w/ each other A LOT. everyone thought we were going out and stuff but we really werent and they teased us like crazy. i started having feelings for him but i felt like he still liked this other girl even though he told me he REALLY didnt anymore. the girl even thought we were going out LOL yeah .. so then later we started going out. ^^

haha that kinda happened to me...well we didn't end up dating or anything, but I grew to like him...but to this day I don't know if he ever really liked me, even though my friends swore he did. I should've just asked him...but I was such a chicken

Haha, this is my story with my s/o.

I was the stubborn one, actually.
Friends would tease us about being together,
and I'd always deny it straight away.

But yeah. We started hanging out more and more.
I even asked if we were best friends.
LOL. Guess it was more than that.
I'm oblivious.

But after a while, I grew feelings for him too.
And yay blahblah gushy gushy goo.
Happily ever after :3

At a place I work part time where we are all friends, even with the business owner. I know it's going to sound a little strange, but it's more like hanging out with friends and getting paid. Don't get me wrong, we do get all our work done though.

Anyways, everyone is pushing me and another co-worker together. Little suttle hints were dropped here and there for us. We got the picture and went out to lunch just the two of us. We even went to a party together. But, honestly I just don't feel a connection between us. She probably thought so also. We'll just remain as friends for now.

happened with me and my current boyfriend.
we've been best friends since we were in fourth grade, so 8 years?
all throughout middle school and high school, people kept predicting that we'd end up together.
i don't think it's so much as we were pressured to be together.

it just happened. <3

No, but the teasing thing has happened to me. This guy and I always sort of argue playfully and laugh at each other's jokes like every day. People noticed. People teased. People try to get us together. We're getting closer. I don't like where this is going. I can't say that I like him.....yet. OMG.....I said YET. Uh-oh.

oh man. usually those kinds of things break my friendships with them because it got too akward =\

Back in first year, I got along really well with one of my friends who also lived on residence. We hung out everyday and we went everywhere together. If we are hungry, we will go look for each other to go out and grab food to eat. However, we were just friends who were really comfortable with each other.

People started gossiping about us and they were not very good at hiding it. Since he's Korean and I am Chinese, they will speak in Cantonese. They thought that I wouldn't know since I am bad in Cantonese, but hey, I can understand stuff like, "how are those two doing?" Even one swift glance and indicating at us is very obvious to me. There was the one time where they purposely spoke in Mandarin, too. I don't know Mandarin, but I had a feeling that they were talking about us.

We never ended up dating XD There was one night when we were walking around and we talked about people thinking that we were a couple. He told me that when the gossips started, he did ask himself if he did like me or not. At one point he thought he did, but then he realized that it was just a friendship thing. I didn't mind since I am not attracted to him in any way other than just a friend who I can pretty much talk to about anything. Heck - We will do stuff like kick each other off the bed and we still won't be mad at each other.

The funny thing is that he ended up dating one of the girls who gossiped it the most. I still remember how she was saying how he's not attractive and such. But they eventually started falling for each other and .. viola! They were still dating now =)

I'm the type of person who doesn't really care about these things. People can gossip and it won't affect my friendship with whoever is being gossiped, too. I think I will only be annoyed if I hate the person's guts or something. I am totally cool with it. It is more like being uncool when I'm the one liking the person and they don't like me back. Otherwise, I have never lost a friendship when it came to people being the "victim" or them liking me ^^

This is really funny, last year they would always say me & this guy look soo cute together & thought we was going out.
& all of this other stuff. The whole time I hated him, told myself never to go out with him. We both just didn't like each other.
But .. When the school year started,things change & we started talking. Eventually we are now together happily. =)

yess.
with my first boyfriend, we were teased.
He liked me, but i didnt like him at first until THEM and their words.
But we broke up in the end.
it was 1 year and 9 months, it didnt even seem that long.
But i'm super happy with my current boyfriend. =]]

*coughcough*

same thing happened to me. everyone at this club at my college thought there was something between us, we just never wanted to admit it. then cuz things finally cleared up, we got together 3 days ago. ^^;

Well it could be possible...
hahaha it's just like a korean comedy and romatic drama series..
welp if not love then you both would proberly turn out to be cool friends or maybe still hate eachother...

Yes. And then we broke up the next morning. LOL.

Hmmm in middle school. didnt happen to me tho

my best friend was short. this guy was short. we always teased them that they'd be a cute couple lol
and everyone dogged on them to dance with each other at sadie hawkins LOL
Then they started dating in sophomore year in HS, and four years strong O_O!
I wonder where they are now...

OH and my roommate and her best guy friend would make the cutest couple everrrr
She says she won't regret being with him... but admits that it's hard to be intimate because... he's her best friend lol
she wants to see if she can get a guy 'on her own' xD

there's this couple in my class that started dating because we teased them a lot... i remember when i first started college, they were teased A LOT like in every single class... it was funny though xD
but now they're serious, i personally think they're on the verge of getting married LOL
we dont tease them so much anymore because well... it isnt so funny now that they're together so moved on to others

well yea my one of my friend said that about us cause we were flirting like heck alot which then made me realize i did actually like the guy but we never dated.

I get teased about me and my crush (which she doesn't know about I think) saying we'd be a good couple. I'm like the only asian guy in our grade and like 4 girls. Idk if she likes me like that

I used to do that all the time because when people tease you, you start to wonder a little bit about this and that and what if and whatnot. For me, it always goes through the same cycle where they tease me, I THINK I like the guy, sometimes I'll go out with the guy because he seems to like me back too, then I'll break up with him because I was totally tripping when I thought I liked him.

I try not to do it, x[

Ahh , this happened to me and my bestfriend

We always hung out and etc. But the thought of liking each other never crossed our minds
But people started making fun of us after awhile.
And that opened the posabily that

"hmmm , does she like me? And omg , do i like her?"

So , the idea was put in our minds and opened new windows.
We started to realized we like each other , and BAM!!! (happily ever after)
So in my case, the teasing helped us realize

Well not really like that.. I didn't like him at the time,
but I didn't know if he had feelings for me or not.
My his friends & mine would tease us 'about spending too much time together'.
Other people would ask if we were going out or say that we should.

Then after a month or so, it became obvious that we liked eachother
He asked me out, but I denied, 'cause I still had alot of feelings for my ex.

My ex asked me out the day after Christmas which was 2-3 weeks later, and
I accepted, and he still likes me a lot but we're still really good friends.

I just feel guilty sometimes for not giving him a chance. ><

oh thats happening to me right now.hasnt stopped since last year -_____-

they keep saying he likes me and all that but i just dont believe them so just cuhs ppl think he likes me they keep saying that we should be a couple and all that. i wouldnt mind as much if he was a bit cuter {is that shallow of me?}.but hes not, hes a good friend and all but in my eyes he will never be boyfriend material.

Nope.
More like even whoever says what, unless I don't have feelings for that person and vice versa, it just wouldn't work out.
Although I have been teased with this guy I have known since middle school and we text each other once in a while and that's it.
I remember getting all those 'ohhh he likes you~' lol. Middle schoolers are so lame.

hmmm i don't really remember if that happened to me.
but people did tease me when i kinda liked the guy, and he knew i did.
everyone kinda did, but yeah he didn't like me back that way.

That happened to me, but it was because we both legitimately liked each other and refused to acknowledge it. Ha.

We both got a lot of "I TOLD YOU SO"s that week.

EXACTLY what happened with me and my ex.

Everyone teased us. Even strangers and random little kids.
Well, we got together but we both liked each other.
It was the teasing that made us take so long to get together.

i would never date any of the guys people push me with.
i know people say "never say never" but this is an exception.
