That's been pretty much what I've done. It's been my dirty little secret.
I've had to go on with life, pretending everything is fine while I have a broken heart which refuses to heal. Just feel frustrated on how long it's taking. Sick of pretending. I have no one to confide in. Anyone that's my whinge

 

Yes

 

Yes and still do... but hope dies last right?

 

It's happened to me more than once. Time is the usual cure for this, along with most things. I have to warn you, though, that, for me at least, sometimes even waiting a long time doesn't heal everything.

 

There is a fine line between love and lust. I've lusted many, but only loved 2. Hmmmm.....isn't that a song? lol

 

I thought I did. She still didn't want me but I determined I didn't love her.

 

It's been 40 years for me and I still think of her everyday!

 

If it's not, it probably should be.

 

Probably more than that.

 

As a teenager I fell madly, deeply in love with this feisty girl in my year. This resulted in some minor stalking (followed her home a couple of times after school) and much pining away to "Waiting For A Start to Fall" by Boy Meets Girl (the ultimate unrequited love song surely).

I now know it wasn't love but infatuation, but you don't realise this at the time.

 

Yep! Don't even know what happen to her over the years, it's been 15 years and I think of her from time to time. The best thing to do to get through something like that is buy "Swingers" on DVd and watch it over and over, That is probably the most important movie to me

 

!

It sucks balls. Look at the situation regularly. Know you made the right choice. And go blast a load down some hot chicks throat--that always makes shit better

 

Been there... still kinda there. Met her when she was going through a really rough patch- came to like her- didn't say anything because I felt it was a bad place to say something when she was still getting over the pain of her prior relationship. She gets over the rough patch- I try to say something but she seems to shrug it off. She starts dating so I once again say nothing as it wouldn't be right to keep harping on the issue. She compares me to her bf and says how similar we are. I chat with her bf one time and he says he is glad I didn't live closer or she may have picked me over him. She gets engaged to him 4 yrs later- has a kid. A few months later she asks me if I liked her when we first met- I of course say yes... she asks why I never say anything- I tell her I tried but she always seemed to ignore it. She says she liked me too but wasn't sure how to go about it as she typically had dated older guys and I am 5 yrs younger than her. I repeatedly think FML FML.

And here I am 4 and a half years after meeting her and she is still my best friend although we don't talk so often now that she has a child and a fiance that isn't a big fan of mine.

 

The other thing that sucks is that you've talked yourself into the idea that no one else is going to make you happy, or really be your soul-mate, and you start hating on them a little for not recognizing their great cosmic fuck-up. The rest of your life is doom and gloom until you die. Meanwhile you try to gratify yourself and seek the company of others, but it all seems very cheap. You feel like you missed out on your one chance for something perfect and pure. Sound familiar?

 

I'm there right now. It really sucks. Do yourself a favor. If you know for sure you can't have them, try to forget about them. The girl i'm hooked on is the only girl I have ever fallen in love with. I went a year and a half without talking to her and then decided to hang out with her one night. I had a great time and it was a great night, but the next day I felt 10 times worse than i did before.

 

I haven't..but I've been the object of such situations a few times. Messy results to be honest.

 

Yeah flirting with them can undo your progress big-time. Sometimes they'll throw you a bone, only to watch you hit a brick wall. That will set you back a few months and make you feel played and pathetic.

 

I did my best!

Since I was really young, it has happened to me, several times...
I have suffered.
Maybe this is why I have decided to try to never refuse a girl/woman...
I just did my best!... :excited:

 

I have. There is no fixing it. All I could do was give it time and put distance between us and slowly move on. Sorry, that was my experience. There just is no quick fix. :rose:

 

Find another! There will always be another!
