    "Would you like to have dinner, or maybe a pint sometime?" would probably work best, though I'd be a sucker for "I dedicate my shower **** to you" myself.

    Would somebody telling you they dedicate all their **** to you be the equivalent of a proposal? :pac:

    Only if they promised to dedicate all **** to me forevermore, I can't abide by **** cheating. :D

    You have to learn the difference between love and infatuation, though. I remember one time I got hit so bad that I wrote her a letter by hand - something I hadn't done in years. By the time I'd written two pages I was over it: putting my thoughts down on paper showed me how irrational they were, and I shredded the letter straight away. :o

    At least you had the sense to hand write a letter and could see that it wasn't clever to post it.

    Me? I was badly lead on by my unrequited love and it all ended badly (though it never really started! :pac:) I was going travelling a few days later and I wrote him an email declaring my feelings. An email! I was such a muppet. :rolleyes:
    I'm home a few years now and I see him the odd time (with the same girlfriend as he had back then) and it does be a bit awkward but sure, I'll always have feelings for him, there's nothing I can do to change that. It's toughened me up a bit in the ole love life.















    Still though, I'd nail him to the headboard if I got the chance.... :D

    I don't really get this unrequited love thing. I mean having a crush on someone isn't love. I don't get how you can love someone you don't know that well.

    I had a guy who was obsessed with me, and the feeling was most definitely not mutual.

    Now he's a 28 year old virgin who stalks me on Irish message boards, despite having zero reason to be on one.

    Love is the quickest route from unhappiness to unhappiness.

    OP,

    Been there at least 3 times over the passed few years! Hurts like a bitch and drains ya of energy for a while! :(

    But ya do get back to normality eventually! :)

    I know what you mean stupidusedname but I think it's just accepted that you don't have to be in a relationship with them for it to be love.

    As wiki says "The beloved may or may not be aware of the admirer's deep affections." Basically it's lust but unrequited lust doesn't sound as good.
    Or unrequited stalking in the case of Siuin...:D

    Ah, I'm currently trying to resolve this. Last week or so the guy I'm seeing returned from holidaying with his family for a month, informed me he's in love with me and proceeded to ask me out. We've been meeting secretly for 8/9 months now and I'd like to keep it that way, it makes it unofficial and exciting :D. In the beginning I was more into him than he was into me, but oh how the tables have turned. Anyways he wants an answer and refuses to allow contact with him till i fully decide. Which predominantly means it'll all cease if I give him a negative response:(

    So in a quest to decide I thought I'd seek the opinion of an older acquaintance who I would assume this might've happened to with the amount of experience he's had throughout his years. Didn't bring it up at all, instead skipped the talking part and proceeded into the bedroom. Yet the acquaintance noticed something different about me by stating that he thought I liked him more than I should. I know that whatever was different about me compared to the rest of our encounters clearly it wasn't initiated by him! So I left with absolutely no answers, lots of new questions, all of which i do not have the answer for.

    Let the letter writing (and scraping) begin!:rolleyes:

    OP, I feel your pain, so i'll let you in on what i'm pretty sure is a well known open secret: You will never forget your first love.(now, its unknown from your post whether this is your first love, but i think the same principle applies if you REALLY love the person). I was with a girl for 4 years (starting 12 years ago!!!), so it ended (by my stupid choice) 8 yearsish ago. I'm still in love with this girl.Probably always will be.But time goes on, and i know people always say 'time is a great healer'.Bo**ox.I think about this girl still, although not as much as i used too, but still, more than i would like to remember(please god allow me to forget her).So, I'd say my post hasn't helped you feel much better, but hopefully the fact that knowing your not the only person that feels this way about someone will make it a little easier. BTW-damn this thread for reminding me today.Hope you find what your looking for somewhere.it aint easy, but then, nothing is.

    OP I'm in the same scenario at the minute,it's driving me up the wall.

    Thanks guys, it's a crap feeling and one I'm too old for but anyhow...
    I don't really get this unrequited love thing. I mean having a crush on someone isn't love. I don't get how you can love someone you don't know that well.


    He's been a good friend for years. I know him inside out :(

    It happens to me all the time.

    I get depressed, self-esteem issues and all the rest that arise with unrequited.

    Girls just don't get me, you just have to move on and learn there's plenty more fish in the sea.
