A sudden declaration of love can change your life. Failure to respond correctly can end a seemingly lasting relationship. In fact, there are only two options for how you can respond.
Mutual feelings are simple
The first option is positive. When the feelings are mutual, you can respond to the confession absolutely symmetrically. This can be one of the wonderful moments in life - emotions break through, turn into words. Do not try to talk about feelings difficult, speak from the heart.
Difficult situations
The second option is not so great. A guy (or a girl) for whom you do not have similar feelings is confessed in love. This is a very awkward, difficult moment - you hear a confession, but you do not know how to respond, so as not to offend or offend this person. Take your time, do not answer mechanically, but do not give in vain hope.
If you are unsure, the answer is a definitive rejection or acceptance. Very difficult then to abandon such words.
If the confession sounded suddenly, say bluntly that you have not thought about such a development before, you cannot figure out your emotions, you need time. You can, of course, answer with a categorical refusal, but this, most likely, will put an end to any further (not even romantic) relationship with a lover.
Unfortunately, there is always the possibility that the unfortunate lover will decide to take revenge on you in order to resolve the situation with unrequited love. Even if this idea seems absurd to you, do not discount it, sometimes people behave inappropriately. Therefore, you need to respond as gently as possible, not allowing a person to count on a positive answer in the future.
Sometimes a completely unpleasant person whom you do not want to see anymore decides to tell you about the feelings. Do not show your negative feelings about this person. Say that you are not experiencing reciprocal feelings and will not in the future. Such a step will help get rid of an unnecessary fan.
As a response to the recognition, if you asked for time to think, can write a letter. So to structure thoughts and emotions a lot easier.
There is also a third, intermediate option - maybe you are not sure about your feelings, it may seem that you are experiencing weak emotions similar to falling in love. Then it's worth telling you honestly. In general, a frank conversation is a panacea in a difficult situation. You need to explain to the person why you doubt your emotions, clarify the presence of circumstances that impede the manifestation of feelings. Don't be afraid to offend the person interested in you by telling them the truth about your emotions. If you are important to him, he will be able to discuss the situation and understand it.
