Unrequited Love?

Have you ever loved someone who either didn't love you back or didn't know you even existed? What about those of you who knew you were loved by someone, but for one reason or another, just couldn't return the love? How did this affect your life?

I'm NOT talking about schoolkid infatuations. By the time you are in HIGH SCHOOL you probably DO know what real love is about. So let's limit the answers here to those in high school or older.

    a real couple should be best friends in the first place... that's my belief. i was friends with a guy for like 1 year and he wanted ( or so he said) nothing more.... well i did ,and it was killing me inside... but i couldn't just give up. i couldn't imagine my life with-out him. well now we have been together( as a couple) for about a year... he finally gave in... he didn't want to loose me. because it was leaning towards that... i was tired of wait-hing.... be patient.. sometimes what you want takes time... good luck

    My story might be abit different then some.. because I'm a female and she's a female.

    Yes, I've been through unrequited love. It was, well, is.. utterly depressing to be exact.. I'd love move on, but I can't seem to.. Sad thing? She hardly noticed me, we weren't the best of friends, we exchanged pleasentries and such.. but somehow I was so captivated by her. She went off to college, is going off to college to be exact, and I can't seem to cope with that.. Everytime, something reminds me of her, I feel so empty.. Because she's gone, and because I know, she doesn't and never love me in the same way.

    I feel like it really has affected my life, in positive and negative ways.. Right now I'm trying my best to think of the positive sides. Just hoping to move on, and start new.

    Lets see, I met a guy 7 years ago when I was 17. We dated for a month, broke up, but stayed friends for awhile. He found someone new, moved on, and we lost touch. Let me just give you some extra info, I knew he was the one, and still do. I always knew if we didn't make it, he would be the one guy I would compare every other man to for the rest of my life. So anyway, 3 years ago on my daughters birthday, which was just yesterday weird coincidence, he called me up. He and his girlfriend broke up and he wanted to be friends again. Well, the two of us can't just be friends, something more always comes of it. Okay, to make a really long story a bit shorter, he eventually got back with his ex, and broke it off with me. He cares about me, but loves her. I'm good enough to keep emotionally tied up just in case something goes wrong with his girlfriend. What I'm saying is it sucks when you love someone who doesn't love you back. You may never forget them. But, if it's meant to be it'll happen, if not, someone will come along that will actually love you back in return eventually.
