A Geek In Love

February 5th 2000 I was introduced to the woman of my dreams. I couldn’t get the nerve to talk to her. I saw her a few times over the next 4 years. The only way I could communicate with was by email. (nerves) I did get a dinner date (just friends) in 2003. I never had high expectations of what she is like. The thought of her smile made me smile. I was shocked to learn she liked LOTR and was a member of the university chess club…found this out on the dinner date. The Last time I saw her face to face was Jan. of 2004. It was either then or after the dinner date I started having trouble sleeping at night. I ended up on Lexapro and Rozerem..I … Read entire article »

At Least We Are Friends

I had a huge crush on this girl for about a year. We were in high school together, but unfortunately by the time I realized I was in love with her, she had gotten a boyfriend. Just a couple months prior, in fact. We’ve become great friends since then, and now I’m in love with someone else. But when I wasn’t in a relationship, and my sole focus was her, it got bad at times. Only told a few friends about it, never spoke a word of it to her. Good thing she doesn’t know, otherwise I’d be down a good friend. I’m glad I got out of that cycle, because she’s still got a boyfriend and I’d be a wreck right now if I was still after her. … Read entire article »

Married But Still…

There is one woman that has been in my heart for 30 years. Fucked her once while we were both very drunk a few years into it, but other than that, we were always astrologically misaligned or something. We love each other but are both married to others and that’s fine with us. I still see her fairly often and she’s friends with my wife, who knows our history. Regardless, she’s a true soul-mate. Can still beat me at pool, too. … Read entire article »

Tremendous Regrets

I fell in love with a girl in high school, I always wanted to tell her that I liked her, but never did. I knew she liked me too, and she asked me once if I liked her. I answered no. (facepalm) It took about 2 years to get over that decision. That’s pretty much my entire love life right there. The perfect girl comes into my life, I fail by not doing anything, and spend forever regretting it. Why must I suck so bad? … Read entire article »

Too Late Now

It started in grade 4 (I’m 26 now). To this day I think about her every now and then. I was a shy kid, with very low self-esteem, all the way through elementary school and high school. I never did tell her how I felt. In grade 9 we were in the same drama class together. We were in the same group trying to put a skit together I think. Anyway, we were all talking and she suddenly blurts out that she had a crush on me through elementary school! It was bitter sweet for me. I was happy that she had liked me but I didn’t take the opportunity to tell her how I felt. I didn’t have the guts. I spent the rest of my years in high … Read entire article »

Found The Right Guy

I think it was 8 – 9 months that I had an unrequited infatuation with a guy, but I did end up in a two year relationship with him in the end. It didn’t go well, it was the most dysfunctional and fucked up relationships I’d ever heard of, short of physical abuse. He never wanted the relationship, I almost forced him into it. Bad idea. My current boyfriend had requited but unfulfilled love for me for about a year and a half before I was finally ready. It was excruciating for both of us, but I was just still so fucked up from the last guy that I was very confused about getting into a new relationship, so we were best friends for a long time while I screwed with … Read entire article »

No Love For Me

I can honestly say that every relationship outside of family that I have had with a girl has been of the unrequited type. I’ve come close, I’ve had sex, but at the end of the day I’ve never once been able to count on a girl for anything important. I think it’s a combination of lack of self esteem, being really short (5’7″) and what I perceive as being unattractive. I just wish I was stupider so it didn’t bother me so much. … Read entire article »

A Lasting Crush

There is this girl with whom I went to elementary school. She was cute…very cute and had this dimple. To this day, I still have this crush on her…even though we have both been through several relationships. There have been a few times when I believe something could have happened between us but it never seemed to materialize. I wonder if she knows this…. … Read entire article »

Half My Life In Love

I met a girl in HS in 1990 that I was totaly smitten(obsessed) with. Became semi-friends with her, but alas she was not interested in me. It physically hurt thinking about her, I just could not get her out of my mind. Not to mention that having teenage hormones at the same time did not help. Six years of hell till we graduated. It took YEARS to get to a point where I could go without thinking of her. Then I ran into her one day at a store and BAM! Felt like a jackhammer hit my chest, all the old feelings came flooding back (FUCK!), we chatted and exchanged emails. I shoot her a happy birthday once a year, and on a rare blue moon chat with her. This wasn’t … Read entire article »

Out of My League

In 2002, I met a girl and fell in love. I was 21; she was 25 and out of my league. For 2 years I was in love, and simply could not get over it, try as I might. After 2 years of heartache, I gave up and moved to a new apartment about 30 minutes away, and started hanging with a different crowd. I was still in love, but I figured, out of site, out of mind. A few weeks after that, she admitted a crush on me (I think she was jealous of my new gf). I jumped at my opportunity, and we started dating a week before my 23rd birthday. We’re getting married 2 weeks from now. So, believe me or don’t, sometime this cheesy shit happens in real life, just … Read entire article »
