Worst response to “I Love You?”

Okay what’s your worst response to when someone confessed their love to you?
It has been almost 10 years since a close friend of mine once said those words to me and I still feel so guilty for reacting the way I did.

Backstory:
We were friends for 4-5 years in college, and he had moved to another state for med school and would visit for family visits. He happened to be coming into town for a visit during my birthday weekend. I felt like we could maybe explore more than a friendship and were talking it up leading up to visit. Went to a bunch of bars for my birthday that weekend and he joined in with a bunch of other friends. There was no kiss or anything but he texted me he was in love with me at some point that night and I freaked out and downplayed it and eventually we stopped talking and I never spoke to him again. We are still friends on socials and every time I see his name, I feel guilty. I am happily in a relationship but I just feel guilty for ever acting like a child and not talking things out like adults.

So let’s hear those stories where we could have handled it better!
