Have you ever been in love with someone and they didn't know it?

[coachTanthony]

yup

nope

[Bricealan]

@coachTanthony I LIKED her very much, and she was pretty and bubbly and never asked her out and a YEAR later she tells me - while walking through a store - 'Have you ever been going with someone, but met someone you liked BETTER"

I said DUH "are you in that situation? "

Her reply was..."Well, I always thought you were very nice"!

So yes, coach, i was too stupid and preoccupied with 'career' and running/training, to pick up on her liking me... She was a very pretty sweetheart.

[OlderAndWiser]

No. When I was a kid, I had a crush on a few girls who were unaware of my feelings but, in retrospect, that was not love. It was just a self-centered desire and poorly controlled hormones.

[DishLady]

No. If I love you you'll know it and if I don't you'll also know it. 😂

[ilistengood]

Lol , I liked that answer ,

[DishLady]

@ilistengood It's the truth. Anyone who knows me knows this about me.

[ilistengood]

I believe you , I trulynthought it was a great answer ,

[JazzieJanna]

Yep sure did

[princeofromance]

Yes, we all have been in a situation like this at one point or another in our lives.

[Vneila21]

I only say no because there is a difference between being in love and having crushes. I had crushes on ten dudes in elementary and middle school. They weren't simultaneous, I made sure that I would be monogamous. (This is when I was figuring parts of myself out. You know when teens try different styles of clothing etc.) Anyway, I let almost all of them know that I thought they were handsome. Except two, I didn't feel like they needed to know, and I expected to get friend zoned anyway. I hardly knew them, and in hindsight they weren't that cute.

I'm telling this story just because.

[AndrésC64]

For a long time I had the biggest crush on a friend. But I knew that she didn't feel the same way so I decided that having her us "just" a friend was better than losing her. Over the years we have become best friends and I realize that it never would have worked. So I'm actually glad that I didn't pursue things anymore. We would have certainly not worked together.

[OneViewpoint]

Sure, who hasn't had a secret crush in school or lusted after a married or single friend or coworker but kept their mouth shut or never had the guts to do anything about it.

[Billlewis]

Of course I have. You don't bother telling them because you know that will only make it worse.

[HarveyLaw]

The old "who haven't" applies here. It comes since our little early young impossible crushes.

[PeachyPie93]

I had crushes on people who didn't know but I don't think that was love.

[CaptainSmartass]

Yeah. There was a girl at school. I fancied her, but I didn't have the balls to ask her out. The worst thing is, I'm sure she fancied me back.

Simples...

[LiamJHayden]

I've never been in love at all. I've been infatuated. I have chosen to love. But what people call "in love" no.

[Jamie05rhs]

No. But I have been attracted to someone and had a crush on them and they didn't know it.

[Anonymous]

Yes, almost every time.

All of my loves were unrequited, but at least I didn't have to hear their rejection.

[Godihateyou]

Lol no. They knew it. It just was only reciprocated after I was married. Typical.

[Panthero80]

I think that happens to everyone at some point.

[Anonymous]

Did people not love 200 years ago? Life expectancy was what? 40 max?

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe it's love and healthcare. Wait. US healthcare sucks.

What do you this @lovedoctorbrad?

[molonski2]

Yes , I'm pretty sure I have..

[FunkyMonkee]

A number of times.

[Silver158]

Nah but been in love with someone who didn't feel the same way

[exitseven]

yes, years ago.

[RedInnocent69]

Pretty sure they suspected

[Valdemort]

No doubt

[WhitneySnow]

Yeah once

[WonderingManII]

Yeah I think so.

[Dongie]

I think so.

[V1ka5h]
