"I'm falling in love with you," says your best friend.

[Toshiro.]

I'd be shocked to be honest, but I would let them down easy and tell them I don't like them that way. What else could you do?

[roen52]

I'd be overjoyed if my best friend suddenly confessed his feelings for me, because I have a crush on my best friend and have had one for two years now, though admittedly I'd be confused because my best friend is a guy and(as far as I know) is completely heterosexual and seems homophobic at times.

[AlexOzzyCake]

I'd be pretty thrilled to be honest! They're already in a relationship and have been for over a year now so it's very unlikely, but I'd be very happy indeed to be with them. I don't think it'd be awkward at all since most of the time we act like we're in a relationship anyway (minus the physical stuff paha), so I guess it'd just be like taking the friendship up to the next level...? But yeah, I'd be very happy!

[ArcanaFlaera]

If I felt the same way, I'd go for it.
If not, well, then I'd gently let them off saying I don't feel the same way, then things would get awkward.
Actually happened to one of my friends a couple days. He confessed to her, and she she didn't feel the same way. It's awkward since I'm stuck in the middle.

[Team Fail]

I'd tell them I'd have to think about it. I wouldn't simply reject them, because, well, we're friends. Other than that, I wouldn't really know what to do.

[Destiny Demon]

Well, considering my best friend is a guy too.... It would ruin our friendship and that would be plain awkward.

[EQUALSGAMER]

It would depend how hot she was. (joking) but i agree with thisguy647 i'd be creeped out a little but would probably just back out of the room awkwardly.

[Volcanix769]

I'd be knocked out if he were to do that.

[FrankOcean]

If it was one of my guy best friends I'd be like, "Hahahaa no." And then call him various homophobic insults until we both get over it.
But if it was a girl best friend I'd still say no. Unless they were really, really hot and I like them back. I'm very shallow, btw.

[Aeon]

This has happened to me... except the other way around.

I'd have to tell him that while I'm extremely flattered, I no longer feel the same way. Though the guy has never cared about relationships. Ever.

[Icy Burn]

I'd crap myself, being it's a guy.

[インフェルノの津波]

I'd think about it, seeing as I'm not attracted to guys, maybe I'd say yes. Though I'd say I wouldn't be surprised if he said that...

[synerjee]

This has happened before. He told me that he liked me and the thing was that I liked him too. I told him that I had to think about it. I didn't want to take this thing to another level withour consideration as if it fails, this whole friendship would most likely cease to exist. I've known him since we were both very young, like childhood friends, and our mothers are also very close friends with each other. I wouldn't want any friendship to break because of some under-thought action of ours. Plus, I was about to go for studies in Australia and he in New Zealand, so everything seemed so much harder. Soo..yeah. We just stayed best friends. Nothing more.

BUT if my girl best friend ever told me that, I would be like whaaat you serious, girl?! You know damn well that I'm straight! @@ and things might start getting awkward from there.

Haha, seriously I had a huge crush on one of my best friends for years and years, so if he announced this I would be bother really annoyed (as I'm taken, happily) and really happy - as I wasn't delusional for imagining a connection for most of a decade.
