Have you ever been in love with someone who didn't love you back?

[msc545]

I have when I was only 19 - it hurt like hell.

[EricSummer]

Yes, it started when I was 13 and lasted until I was 17. At that time, a different girl rescued me from this unfortunate situation and she became my first girlfriend.

Later in life it happend a couple of times that I greatly desired a woman who did not fancy me at all, but I never again let feelings of love grow just on my side. One has to be careful and get to know each other while dating. If you can kiss her soon you are on a good way. Naturally, I had never kissed my first crush. She only was consistently nice to me and enjoyed my attention. For a teenager this can be hard to understand.

Guys tend to fall in love, or at least think that, quicker than girls.

I have "been in love" with a few women when they didn't feel the same. We had fun for awhile, and eventually broke up. That always hurt, but I knew I had to move on, and I did.

[Anonymous]

Yes once. That man was not interested in me, he wasted my time, kept giving me mixed signals and was also playing with girls. And he kept on torturing me that you are cheating on me when he kept cheating on me when I got tired of his mind games, cheating, lies and torture and left him then he got married someone he was in love with.

[Ana666]

Yes , right now.
It hurts like hell.
It feels empty, I feel broken :(
You miss that person , you miss your conversations, you miss the time you spent with that person and at the end when you relise that it never mattered to them as much as it mattered to you, everything seems meaningless …

[Sonorous]

Many times. But I was in lust.

[Anonymous]

Oh 4-5 times
School crush, I started loving her from a distance, I used to something cute, I used to leave chocolates on her desk. When she found out she threw the chocolate from that day in dustbin each time while looking at me. I tried to talk didn't work.
Diploma crush, just friends but never more then that, she never wanted me closer.

Batchlors she chose someone else this one hurts the most, as soon as I lost my chance, I worked really hard to get the highest package possible in the university, and I managed to secure 2nd highest where as she and her choice didn't get any
I wished she would come back.

In job similar thing happened 2nd time, she chose someone else, who was a playboy.
Felt betrayed.

I left the job after 2 years, came to UK for masters. Fell in love with my flatmate.
I got attached.5 months we enjoyed a lot of things together. I asked her out on an actual date, told her I liked her but put me in guilt that she hates my personality, my experiences, and everything about me.

Now I just pitty myself because I dont go out much to find new people, when I meet someone it's most for a reason and they ghost me and only want attention when they need someone who can listen. Tried dating apps, got blocked and never got any likes to begin with.
Even now I love someone but I know that she is going to reject me, because she never approachs me, she keeps distance from me. So I stopped meeting her all together.
I had a very good career path, but never found love even for a moment.

[RealMarek]

Yes, more than once. Once with my ex, who said she loved me but actually hated my guts. There were some others, who I would think of every day for a year or two after it was clear no relationship would ever develop. I finally learned to not become emotionally invested in women who did not reciprocate, and to gradually become more invested if the woman continued to reciprocate my interest. And when I met my match it worked this way, but it worked incredibly quickly. We were in love with each other within a couple weeks. But at no point was I way more enamored or infatuated or in love with her than she was with me.

[mrmonogamous]

Yes. I had a girlfriend that I was madly in love with. Quite honestly, it was the best sex I’ve ever had in my life! She was incredible! I told her I loved her, but she would never reciprocate. I was very confused, because for me, sex required love. I still love her to this day, even though I’m married to someone else and I’m in deeply in love with her. I still love every girl that I’ve ever said. I love you to.

[Puppystarfish23]

Yes and I still question whether he did or not because it felt like he did but he said he didn't but then a lot of stuff he did said otherwise but at the same time he treated me like shit in the end and you wouldn't do what he did to someone you love unless he was just clueless

[crossdressingrihno]

Twice.
Both times I still ended up with them and both times I made sure they were the happiest they ever were in their life.

[msc545]

what did they do for you?

[crossdressingrihno]

A lot of talking and hanging out. Sometimes that talking was sharing funny life experiences. Sometimes it was flirting. Sometimes it was just random bullshittery or other wonderful things.

There was a bunch of non-PG things. Not going to go over what they were.

Lastly, sometimes we would spend all night just talking we were talking joy, things laugh, flirt all those wonderful things, and by the time we realized it it the sun was coming out and we would have to get to sleep because we would have stuff to do in the morning whether it was school or work or whatever else it may be.

Needless to say, I was very fulfilled for a while

[crossdressingrihno]

I am being vague about a lot of things because there’s a lot of relationship stuff that I don’t like to go over with people I’m not in a relationship with. I’m sure you can understand that since like public embarrassment and things like that just kind of not the style for a lot of people.

[msc545]

I understand, no worries

[mobiusforniner]

Oh yeah. Its called unrequited love. In my experience, inexperienced women- usually virgins- are more flaky and indecisive so i ended up in this category.

[Simslover92]

Yes and it did indeed hurt like hell. Took me years to get over him.

[Jazzy54]

Yup and yes, unrequited love does indeed hurt like hell. 😔

[DaddyDiablo]

Yeah been in and out of a relationship with them to the point of asking for a chance cuz I was never given one really and still ended up losing them and everything felt towards them

[Anonymous]

With my older brother. We started fooling around in my early teens. He went off to college and met a girl. Every so often after he went off to the military he would come home and seduce me.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, but I learned at a young age how to turn that love off.

[exitseven]

Yes, it was like this

;Me: I think I am in love with you

Her: You're crazy

[TacosRAwesome]

I'm not sure if I'm being honest. Love is complicated.

[Jltakk]

Yep plenty of times. Horrible place mentally to be in

[Quigly]

Nope, when you know what love is, you know it's not love.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Of course, I've had my share of crushes.

[JosyJosy]

Yeah. He was taken.

[AngryCarl2]

A couple of times. It sucks.

[lottiebannotie]

Of course I think most of us have at some point

[hammeronfire]

Yes and it hurts like hell

[Pterodon]

Yes I have and it still hurts

[WhitneySnow]

Yes. And yeah it hurt.

[Spade_01]

Fortunately, no.

[Anonymous]

yep.
