Have you ever in your life experienced unrequited love?

Yes and I met her 5 years ago and fell for her instantly. We spent a few months around each other but never really spoke because we were shy and she had a boyfriend. A couple years ago i added her on social media and we'd been chatting and I told her how I felt about her all those years ago and still feel the same and she was surprised to hear that but she had a boyfriend (just my luck). Since then I've been trying to keep in contact with her as a friend because I would rather that than no relationship with her at all. We have so much in common and if she were single I think she would give me a chance but it sucks feeling this way about her for years and my chances with her haven't improved. I can't forget her and it breaks my heart but I also want her to be happy and wish her the best. Who knows maybe years from now she will realise I have been here all along and give me a chance. I've felt this longing to know her for so long so I guess it is unrequited love for me.

Yes, with literally all my crushes

Yup, I think most people have at one point or another in their life, the older you are the likelier you've experienced it.

The thing is, we don't pick who we love, there's no real particular reason for why you fall in love or get infatuated with someone, it just happens, and because you don't pick it, it will very likely just end up being someone who is not right for you either because of timing ( e .i they are already married, moved out of state, you yourself are married but have fallen out of love with your partner because they don't care like they used to or they changed or you've changed) or because of habits they have that are not good for a healthy relationship to thrive. Of course, what sucks the most is them not feeling anything for you, usually because they themselves have someone they want to be with already and you just don't fit their bill.

Really, nothing brings you quite the high that loving someone does, so to think that you feel all this pent up emotional and physical want for them and they could care less while they go chase someone else.... wow, just a stab right in the heart and twisting the knife for good measure.

Eventually after a couple of years go by you move on, but some people never do.

I say I feel unlucky to be burden that way of wanting and not having, it's like starving and your favorite meal is presented to you, but you don't get to touch or eat it, someone else does and you just get to watch. I rather be asexual and feel nothing for another person, at least I'd be content with my life.

No. I've had feelings for someone who didn't return them in kind, but it wasn't love.

Thankfully that wasn't the case with anyone I married. ☺

No, I haven't. I guess that would make me lucky.

yes
