-Unrequited Love- the worst

Post Reply New Topic

For years and years I had developed deep romantic feelings for a friend of mine, but i had always put off telling her exactly how I felt beleiving my feelings to be infactuation due to my young age (i was twelve when i met her). I also doubted myself greatly due to the fact that I had never had any luck girls, and because the friend i had developed feelings for happened to be my best friends sister. Despite this however it got to a point where i couldent contain my feelings anymore and at the start of this year i decided to tell her how i felt about her...it didnt go well.
for half a year i was lost in dismay becuase i couldent grasp a reality in which i couldent be with her, I couldent face everyday life without spending every second thinking about her. I couldent function at school and the first half of my school year was catastrophic in terms of grades. I loved her and i still do, and there isnt a day that goes by where i dont miss her and think of her (I know that can seem obsessive but i dont . I have tried to develop relationships with girls but they arent intrested in me, and to be honest im not all that intrested in them. I feel alone and useless and i am extremely confused.
I suppose i will have to focus on exams and then deal with the problem..
but what should I do? should i give up... try again... find someone else? i dont think i can feeling the way I do...
Id appreciate any suggestions you can give me

she told me that "she never loved me, and she never will" on the phone, with her stupid bloody girlfriends in the background giggling. I was angry but it to hard to stay angry. She was unsure at the start and she even began to warm to the idea, but i was too impatiant... i just needed to know

Nope... im pretty sure she was being cruel to me... i felt so humiliated
But I guess it could be expected from a 16 year old

..... You've had one of those

I've had several

Same here.

All of my crushes, save one, have been unrequited; the lone reciprocated crush turned into the only "real" relationship I've ever had.

I guess your first step to get over her is to understand "You dont have a chance" or to put it more nicely "you should get over her" if you can do that, you should slowly be able to get over her.

I know how it feels when the one you love dosn't love you back and it can be very painful D:

I still like the person i , uh, like, but i know where my limits go to, and thats only as far as "A good friend" --> Has always(well not like i've had alot of people i loved) been my case, i've gotten the "You're a really nice and sweet guy but not what i'm looking for"(and when i ask, they cant answer cause they dont know D: ), up until now there has been 4 girls in total i liked, the last 2 ones gave me that last line i just said, and the one i still like now, is most likely the only girl i've had so much in commen with(for me it's importent to have alot of things in commen with the one i love, because it really means alot to me that i'm able to share my interests with them), and to me it feels like "if even SHE dosnt even love me, who will then? I guess i'll just become something like a Hermit with her being the girl i still like"

I mean, i guess it dosnt hurt even if you still like them, but you need to understand where your place is.
You've liked her for so long, and now you know she dosnt feel the same, she most likely only sees you as a good friend, nothing more. So accepting your role is the first thing i guess, if you can do that, it should help you become less attached to her


And sorry for my unstructured sentences : /

She is a girl. There are lots of girls. Millions and Millions of them. Heck, over a billion of them.

Yeah, it hurts to be rejected, but at least now you know that she is not interested...

This is what you can learn from this situation for future reference ...

If you are ever interested in someone - ask them out for coffee or bubble tea or whatever quickly. Don't wait weeks, months, years...

The problem with having a crush for months/years is that you build up sort of a fantasy relationship. When you finally ask them out and they say "no" - the fantasy falls to pieces. Heck, even if the best thing happened and they said, "yes" the poor girl would never live up to the "fantasy" that you have built in your mind.

Soooooooooo,

What you need to do is remember that this particular 16 year old girl is not the most perfect combination of pin-up model/girl scout/girl-next-door that you had in mind. There are other nice girls out there and you will meet lots of them if you stop pining for this particular girl that dissed you.

When you meet some of these nice girls, you will talk to them and, perhaps, ask them for bubble tea or coffee or whatever the $%^& sixteen year old people do on dates these days. They will say yes or no. If they say "no" you will not worry about it. If they say something mean or stupid and diss you, you will shrug your shoulders and say to them, "a simple 'no thank you' would have sufficed" and move on. If they say "yes" you will have an opportunity to get to know the girl for who she really is without the "fantasy relationship".

Oh Oh, I have a really old Tony Bennet song coming into mind now. In case you don't know - Tony Bennet is an old crooner from the 1950's and 1960's (he is still alive and is still performing on stage). The Song is "I Want to Be Around"

I want to be around
To pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks
Your Heart

Somebody twice as smart as I

And that's when I'll discover
That revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding
From a front row seat

When somebody breaks your heart
Like you -ooooooooo
Broke mine"

This is just a little reminder that she will get "humiliated" or have her little heart broken too. She is only 16 and she has some living to do herself!!

Now don't sit there relishing that she'll get hers ... just pick up the pieces of your own heart and know that she is but one of millions of sixteen year old girls and you will get other chances at romance.

If i wanted criticism i would say so.. but thanks anyway... thanks everyone for your support, i guess the trouble with telling people things on the internet is that their are communication problems, nobody really knows each other or the situation their really in. And Canadian how do you know that a "pin-up model/girl scout/girl-next-door" was what I had in mind, you have no idea who i am so dont jump to conclusions...

Sorry to butt in by tossing in my two penn'orth here, but I don't think CanadianRose was deliberately insulting or criticizing you; I think s/he was attempting to offer you some encouragement.

I had an unrequited love. It was hell. I holed myself up in my room, didn't speak to anyone for 5 months, exercised and starved myself, and then finally stopped obsessinga about him. Now, many years later I find him on facebook. He told me that I was the prettiest and smartest girl he ever met, the only girl who made him blush, and that he had a crush on me as well.

I idealized him though. He wasn't as talented and smart and deep as I thought he was. In fact, he was just an ordinary guy who I painted out to be ideal. He is all bloated and angry now. He was then too but I just didn't see it.

I think we idealize people into delusions, us autistic types. It's no different than making a myth out of a teddy bear. Only, when you get older you have to make it more real so the imaginary friend turns into someone real. Maybe it's not that way for you, but I just thought I'd share my story so you can see how these potentially love infatuated cases can turn out in the end. Had I gotten together with him, I'd be in a f****d up boat headed toward nowhere because he is so cynical. No matter how much I believed in him, he'd never had a chance 'cause he was so f****d up in the head. I'm messed up too so that is probably why I wanted to save him.

Over the course of the year I've developed a huge crush on a gal who posts on one of the boards I do and I know nothing will ever come out of it.

I'm pathetic... but at least I'll admit to it
