unrequited love scenarios

Post Reply New Topic

We've all been in one, especially us Aspies. What's your best (or worst) story of unrequited love?

Right now, I'm close to a girl that I have a hidden love interest in, who's already in a relationship. It's a common scenario to be in, this "Jessie's Girl"-type fix, but it's very painful for me. To me, it seems to show just how far behind I am in the social skills/friends/relationships department. Like, if I'd learned the necessary social skills earlier, she could be with me instead of him.

Been there... not talkin' about it.

I think most of you regulars know what my major one was; heavily crushing & obsessing on the iCarly star Miranda Cosgrove. I quit crushing on her when I got my girlfriend but I still admire her

I think the worst one I've experienced (and thank gawd I've long been over her) was this 19 year old girl I was attracted to when I was 24ish. She had a two year old son whom I absolutely adored. We kinda-sorta started going on a few dates, but a curious thing happened soon afterward. She'd ask me to babysit her son while she ran errands. Since the little tyke and I got on so well, I was happy to do this. When I'd come in the door, he'd yell out his version of my name "Esss! Ess!" Adorable. We'd play all evening and I'd sit by his bed until he went to sleep.

Well it soon became apparent that she had no real interest in me. In fact, she was essentially using me as a babysitter while she went out on dates with her real boyfriend, telling me they were 'errands'.

It wasn't difficult breaking up with her once I realized this after a few months --- what was difficult was leaving that adorable little boy. To this day I wonder what happened to him.

ohgad. i dunno if this counts but it's all i have.
for a few months i spent my time chasing and worrying about someone who'd said they didn't want me and was 'giving things a go' with someone else, who theyd just met. i'd top up my phone £20 after £20 (was a student) just so i could phone him and pretty much beg like a spam, whilst he made up excuses to not even text me and switched his phone most of the day. plus im scared of phones so that was a big thing for me anyway. i travelled about 6hrs to go visit him for a few hours, he turned up late so half hour of that was me waiting at a strange station alone. then made me cry in a park and got me to buy him a drink after. and somehow i still went home thinking what a great day things will be fine, lol.

doesnt matter cos karma's a b***h.

no, that was to where his family were originally from

erm. no
