Would you still tell someone you liked them even if you sensed they didn't feel the same way?

There are some cases where people do like others but they don't realize it until it's actually considered, but that usually just happens in movies and stuff. For me it depends on how much I really like the person if it's a small crush that more than likely means nothing then I wouldn't go through the trouble. If I actually had deep feelings for this person I would take the chance that's what romance is about taking chances and it'll keep you from having the "what ifs or you never know thoughts" because you'll actually know how that person feels.

Sometimes I do, even if it is risky. Sometimes my feelings are so strong I feel, "Life is too short to keep this inside, and I cannot go on without telling her how I feel." It does not always end well, though: I have lost friends, and even scared people that way. I need to learn to bury my feelings and move on.

Yes. Life is too short, if they mean so much. Regardless of the reaction that might be received.

@Poptartinvasion: thank you. I know, for years I would never say anything as vulnerability is a true fear. I also think that I missed out on pretty amazing opportunities in life because of that fear. I have realized through experiences that if feelings are that deep and powerful, they are worthy of being voiced. Come what may. It is more about me, expressing those feelings. Releasing them. Even though it is a risk, rather than basing my decision upon the reaction of that person. Which is truly unknown, until it is voiced. If feelings aren't mutual, at least the regret doesn't exist within- because I didn't try. I would rather receive a "no", than live with regret.
But, that is just me.
....sorry for my book here. Just trying to explain my thoughts.

@UnderOneSun: @ShadowBreath: Wasn't really looking for advise on this topic. Just wanted to get people's opinion and experiences on the matter. I've been in this situation before and one time I told the person how I felt and when the person rejected me, I felt like shit for months. Another time, I didn't tell a person how I felt and still regret it to this day. I've also been on the other side of this and had to tell someone that I didn't feel the same way they did which was difficult and awkward.

@LordofFlatbush: ...I, too have been on all sides, of that situation.
I understand.

I have before. And I'm pretty sure it was stupid because he continued to bang me for years and never really returned the sentiment.
