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

[krackers]

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 =(

[Sympathetic]

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."

[Every~Verse]

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.

[forgottenmemories]

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".

[em_an]

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.

[13infamyss]

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.

[ShadowMax76]

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.

[MNLV27]

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.

[Humilious]

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.

[Lilee]

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.

[jskee]

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

[DeeIsRadicalYeah]

um, no, the hell.

why would the opinions of others influence our compatibility?

[Pogichinoy]

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

[PoppinBC]

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

[cicisaurr___]

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

[linaa]

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

[I.like.foood]

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

[onhotwires]

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?

[xabstruse]

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.
