Crush confessions can be one of the most anticipated parts of a series.
After waiting patiently, all you want is for that one character to finally admit to the other how they feel.

More often than not, your ship eventually ends up riding happily into the sunset, but putting yourself out there is always a risk that may not have the outcome you’re hoping for.
We’ve created a slideshow of 13 confessions of love that ended in rejection.
Winn’s confession to Kara – Supergirl
The moment Kara pulled away from Winn’s kiss, her face said everything we needed to know. It was kind of hard not to feel bad for Winn considering how head over heels he was for his best friend, but the two are better off as just that.

“Sebastian’s” confession to Clary – Shadowhunters
This was all types of horrible. Honestly, we kind of wish Shadowhunters had left this part of the story out. But, Clary’s brother disguised himself as Sebastian and kissed Clary. It was weird, and we’re glad that she didn’t want to be romantically involved with either Sebastian or her brother.

George’s confession to Meredith – Grey’s Anatomy
Right after George confessed his love for Meredith, she kisses him and they sleep together. But the rejection actually comes in the middle of sex when she starts crying since she knows she doesn’t have feelings for George. This scene was equal parts cringe-worthy and heartbreaking.

Chase’s confession to Karolina – Marvel’s Runaways
Karolina didn’t outright reject Chase, more like she just refused to be around him after he kissed her. As it turns out, Nico was the one she wanted to be with all along.

Bloom’s confession to Reynolds – New Amsterdam
This one’s a bit complicated. Reynolds originally rejected Bloom because when she confessed her feelings, he said that he wanted to marry a black woman. However, the two had been sleeping together, and he tries to kiss her later on, but she rejects him right back.

Eleanor’s confession to Chidi – The Good Place
Although Eleanor fell for Chidi in every reboot we’ve seen, decision’s aren’t Chidi’s strong suit so there were some occasions where he didn’t think he felt the same way. And considering that they’re soulmates, it was painful to watch.

Betty’s confession to Archie – Riverdale
We still think that these two belong together, so this one was particularly hard to watch. But after Betty tells Archie about her feelings for him, he tells her that he loves her, but he’ll never be good enough for her.

Barry’s confession to Iris – The Flash
They may be happily married now, but getting there wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. When Barry tells Iris that he loves her, she rejects him as she is in love with Eddie.

Damon’s confesstion to Elena – The Vampire Diaries
Damon did not take this rejection well. After Elena told him she didn’t want to with him, he got so angry that he snapped her little brother’s neck. We couldn’t be more thankful that Jeremy was wearing his magic ring.

Dina’s confesstion to Jonah – Superstore
Jonah was too afraid of hurting Dina’s feelings after she told him how she felt. Since he couldn’t bring himself to say it to her face, he recorded his rejection so he would just have to press play. However, it accidentally started right when she was in the middle of planting one on him. Awkward…

Ted’s confession to Robin – How I Met Your Mother
After realizing Robin was the reason why none of his relationships had worked out, Ted tells her that he loves her. But unfortunately, he doesn’t receive the same response back.

Amy’s confession to Karma – Faking It
Did anyone else feel their heart breaking along with both of theirs? While pretending to date, Amy ended up having feelings for her best friend for real. Unfortunately, she just didn’t feel the same way.

Blair’s confession to Chuck – Gossip Girl
Blair, this should have been a tip-off that your relationship wasn’t going to be a healthy one. Chuck may have been in pain because of his father’s death, but there’s no excuse for Chuck’s reply when Blair confesses her love for him.
