Chasing Him

I liked this boy in the grade ahead of me in high school for two years. For most of that time he was with another person, even engaged to her at one point. The entire time he knew of my feelings, but told me that he didn’t see it going anywhere, and that he “couldn’t see himself falling in love with me” (nearly direct quote). Nonetheless, I persisted. His fiance dumped him, and he got another girlfriend who didn’t last very long. One night he had a party at his house, which I (of course) attended. We were drunk and outside with everyone smoking cigarettes. I lit up another one while everyone else went back inside…except him. He stood there with his hands in his pockets just looking at me. He … Read entire article »

No Other Girl Made Me Felt This Way

I am 22, and i have been in love with a girl since 9th grade. I haven’t seen her since I graduated. I do not have despair that I will never be with her, I don’t hold any hope of being with her eventually. I just think of her and feel good and warm, bubbly and relaxed. I simply love her. And she wasn’t anywhere near a perfect person. For one thing she had low self-esteem, and has since then become very overweight. I still love her. There have been girls since her which I like a lot, which challenge me, and which I work with as a friend better than I probably ever would have with her. But I get no butterflies in my stomach over them. Never felt about anyone … Read entire article »

Payback’s a bitch

My first and only unrequited love was in College. I confessed my feelings only to be shot down and within the week learned she was dating a guy I worked with, the “bad boy”. So fast forward a year, even after being treated like shit by him, she moves with him after graduating, moves 1,000 miles. After 3 months, he comes home one day to tell her it isn’t working for him and she needs to leave. Unrequited love is painful, but sometimes things happen that end up making you feel even just a tad better after all. … Read entire article »

I Did Not Feel The Same Way

I had some guy -a close friend- become infatuated with me, but I was engaged at the time. He had himself convinced that if he did enough nice things for me, and was there enough when I “needed” him, I would see that he was the one for me and I would leave my fiance. After about a 6 month stretch, he actually realized that our personalities are polar opposites and we could never work as a couple on a normal day to day basis. Unfortunately, instead of moving on, he became obsessed with the idea of having me, and did his best to change us both into people who would work together. And then I got married. He was devastated. About a month ago he began to let go. … Read entire article »

Happier Than Ever

I was completely crushed by a girl and I told her and asked her out for New Years. A few days later she told me no instead and I was down. Then I had some beers with my buddies, hooked up with another girl and now I’m with a different girl and I don’t care at all Feelings are an incredibly complex and poorly understood chemical reaction. Unrequiting love ain’t all that and it just gives people a distorted perception of realty. Go do some shit that will make you happy. … Read entire article »
