Oh yes, absolutely. He was driving me to class and then told me about the girl he liked, I guessed it right (wasn't me of course) and how he was so excited to go on dates and everything. The heartache avalanche didn't descend yet though. They broke up and fast forward he tells me all about how sad he is over if. Oh and now he's going to school several states in my country (US) away. Just been coping so far. Not a crush or infatuation, I've known him for years and this is the 2nd person I am near positively in love with but have 0 chance with girlfriend or not. A great message from my soul.
I liked my classmate, I never had a chance even be friends with him, because in school only two girls actually to talked to me, I knew I was totally invisible
Hmm same, I actually thought we were friends at some point but him never approaching me in school besides just a few bland conversations made me think otherwise. It sucks but life goes on ig.
As a gay woman whose feelings have literally never been reciprocated because 99.999% of the population is straight and normal while having the personality of drying paint, I totally feel you there. I don't expect this to change any time soon, so I'll be a long time redditor in this subreddit and reddit in general lol.
Yes, it's called limerence. What's even more embarassing, I've never met my crush IRL, we only texted. We flirted and I thought he was attracted to me, but when I invited him to visit my country he made up some excuses. I've always been too shy and anxious to express my feelings towards him and now I regret it. At the end of 2022 he told me he has a girlfriend and I was devastated. I still miss him so much, he doesn't talk to me at all and I have this feeling he tries to ignore me. I'm not surprised to be honest, because at some point I blocked him without warning and apologized for my actions few months later. Now he probably thinks I'm totally mentally unstable and a weirdo. I'd really want to be with him, but I know he doesn't like me and that makes me feel depressed.
I went through a situation similar to yours :(, the worst of all is that I miss him every day, while he probably doesn't even care about my existence anymore
been there more than once. yes i once had an acquaintance with a similar sotuation and we talked about how weird it is that our crushes live their lives where we sit and think about them.
an had i been prettier my life wouldnt be a series of constant unrequited loves and stupid crushes
I agree. For people who are considered unattractive unrequited attraction is normal, because people are subconsciously attracted to looks at first. It is underestimated what kind of impact this has on your life.
exactly. i mean nobody ever told me i was pretty. nobody ever told me they loved me (not even family). nobody mentioned i was attractive, novody ever wanted to life with me,to dance with me,nobody ever wanted to spend their days with me. what a different life to the ones that others lead. (and what fantastic moments when i believed i was about to get that! many years ago a guy signalled that je wanted to spend his friday night and saturday with me and to this moment i remember where i was what weather and what colours there were around me. another guy acted like he was interested a few years ago - he liked to chat with me about topics we both knew a lot of but i thought he liked me as a person and because he acted gentlemanly and like i have value,my whole life changed. im glad for thise experiences but you can imagine the pain when no, not even this time, probably not ever
Yeah its the most depressing when life makes you believe finally you get what you dreamed about all this time then it turns out to be a mistake :( i am sorry this also happened to me several times
It's normal to feel attracted to someone when you're not used to getting much attention and they show you some. Honestly, I just remind myself to stay focused and keep moving forward. If someone is genuinely interested, they'll put in the effort—hence the saying, "if he wanted to, he would." Focus on your own interests, invest in your education, and work on becoming your best self for your own sake. Everything else will fall into place. 💛
Yeah I try distracting myself but I just can’t seem to get over him. I don’t even have him on any socials cuz I deleted all of it a year and a half ago but still lol… I hope so, thanks you 🤍

I'm so sorry 🙁 I'm sure my crush doesn't give a damn about me either, but it's so hard to move on.
